CHAPTER 1
Introduction
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 3
■ US English
■ UK English
■ Australian English
■ Indian English
■ Southeast Asian English
US English uses US spelling, punctuation, and time and currency
formats. We recommend US English for Canadian users since this dialect
formats numbers (including times, telephone numbers, and currency) in
North American formats.
All other dialects use UK spelling, punctuation, and time and currency
formats (some number settings depend on your Windows Regional
Settings). Where multiple dialects are used in dictation examples, those
dialects appear in a different font style. For example:
■ You can also correct a longer phrase by saying “Correct [text] Through
[text]” (
US/Canada) or “Correct [text] To [text]” (Other Dialects).
This guide uses US spelling and punctuation for consistency.
4 This guide also includes tips and notes to help you use the software
more effectively. Tips and notes appear like this:
If you pause correctly, but Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
still types a command as
dictation, you can force it to recognize what you say as a command by holding down the
CTRL key.
With Numbers Mode on, Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
tries to interpret
everything you say as a number. If you dictate words, the results will be unpredictable.
However, you can still navigate menus and switch between programs by voice when
Numbers Mode is on.
