START TO DICTATE

TURN ON THE MICROPHONE

Before you can dictate, you need to turn on the microphone by doing one of

the following:

• Pressing the plus (+) key on the numeric keypad and then pressing it again

to turn the microphone off.

• Clicking the microphone icon on the DragonBar.

The microphone icon is vertical when the microphone is on. You can click

this icon again to turn it off.

• Clicking the microphone icon in the Windows

system tray.

START TO DICTATE

To begin dictating, start a word processor (such as the DragonPad) and begin

a new document. Make sure that your cursor is located within the docu-

ment and simply start talking in a clear and natural voice, neither yelling or

whispering.

As you talk, text will display in the Results box while Dragon determines

what you said. The Results box is a small yellow window that appears

on-screen as you dictate. For example, if you say “talking to a computer,”

the program will display “talking to a computer” in the Results box and then

write the words “talking to a computer” into your application:
