New Sidebar displays commands and tips
An enhancement of the former Sample Commands window, the Dragon Sidebar provides important commands and tips at any time.
You can dock it on the left or right side of the screen, set it to auto-hide, or set it to "float" like other windows, place it anywhere,
and more. The Sidebar's top pane contains commands, including a tab for mouse commands, and the lower pane contains tips. By
right-clicking the Sidebar, you can display a menu to print the content, hide the Mouse tab or Tips pane, or switch to another
monitor. The Sidebar’s content depends on which application currently has focus.
Accuracy Center is now more informative, includes links to Dragon Options and Auto-Formatting Options.
Redesigned Help and Tutorial
You can now launch a search in Dragon's Help at any time by saying "Search Dragon Help for <words>," where <words> represent your
search string. Dragon opens its Help window and displays your search results.
Correct or format multiple instances of text
Now when you tell Dragon to select, correct, or format text, if there are multiple instances of the text, Dragon displays a number
next to each instance. You can then choose to apply the command to one or all.
Improved switching between programs and windows
When you need to switch between windows, you can ask Dragon to display a numbered list so you can indicate your choice without
needing to know the exact name of the program or document. To display a list of open windows, you can say "List all windows." To
show a list of open windows for just one program, you can say "List windows for Microsoft Word."
“Require "Click"” avoids unintentional actions on HTML pages
The "Require Click" option is on by default for hyperlinks in Dragon 11. You must say "Click" before saying the name of a hyperlink, or
part of the name. For example, on a Web page with a link for "Directions to our office," you could say "Click our office."
Scrolling commands in Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Word.
New commands in the Spelling window (formerly called the Spell dialog box)
"Modify <1-9 >" and "Edit <1-9 >," work like the command "Select <1-9>" (you can use them to designate an almost-correct choice so
you can modify it.
Display search text before performing searches
In Dragon 10, the Web search commands executed the search automatically. In Dragon 11, you can edit the search string before it is
sent to your browser. The new Edit Search Keywords dialog box provides the option to correct, revise, or augment what you said in
your command. The option is on by default.
Direct searches for more Web sites: "Search <site> for <word(s)>" includes Facebook, Twitter, Bing, MySpace, and IRS.gov.
Administrative Settings menu is always available
Dragon now keeps the Administrative Settings available from the DragonBar's Tools menu, even when you have a User Profile open.
The Administrative Settings dialog box contains important items, such as scheduling automatic Accuracy Tuning and choosing a
custom backup location – plus, in Windows XP, the disabling of ctfmon.exe, a program which can interfere with Dragon.
Command Browser interface
Dragon 11 includes enhancements to the Command Browser that make it faster to use filter the display of commands by keywords.
Also, to shorten the list of commands displayed for specific contexts, Global Commands are omitted by default. You can easily
include them in the list by selecting the check box for "Include Global" on the Command Browser toolbar.
Improved recognition when multiple processors are available
Dragon now automatically detects computers with multiple processors and at least 2 GB of RAM, improving recognition by working
