Starting to Dictate
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide

The microphone in the taskbar
When Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
is running, one of three small
graphics will appear next to the clock in the Windows
®
task bar. You can
click on these graphics to switch the microphone on or off.
▲ Microphone is on.
▲ Microphone is off.
▲ Microphone is sleeping.
Right-click the microphone icon to access the same menus that are
found on the DragonBar, where you can access all Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
functions. Also use this menu to make the
DragonBar appear if it’s hidden (click Restore Previous DragonBar
Mode).
Results box
The Results box is a small yellow window that appears on-screen as you
dictate. It looks like this:
As you speak, the Results box displays the words that Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
thinks you said. These words may change as the
program considers different interpretations of the utterance it heard.
After Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
types the text into your document, the
Results box shows what was typed.
When Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
is recognizing a command, the
Results box has a bold blue border, so you can tell that it is recognizing
your utterance as a command.
