Don't Recognize That Word

Dragon now enables you, right from the Correction Menu, to prevent certain words from being recognized. For example, if you

dictate the name "Cassity" often and Dragon always hears "Cassidy," you can use Don't Recognize That Word on Cassidy.

Audio-quality alerts

Many misrecognitions are actually caused by poor audio input. To ensure that it receives the highest quality audio, Dragon 11 detects

drops in audio quality and reminds you of typical causes, including microphone placement, excessive background noise, or if your

Bluetooth microphone battery is low. Dragon alerts you in various ways, depending on the severity of the problem.

Improved command and control

It's faster and easier to perform tasks such as opening applications and switching to a particular window, and Dragon 11 contains

commands for Windows itself, such as showing the Desktop, Control Panel, or folders such as My Documents and My Pictures. See

Windows Desktop commands for details.

Support for Microsoft Office 2010 (32-bit and 64-bit)

Dragon 11 provides compatibility with Microsoft Office 2010, including Full Text Control and Natural Language Commands. See Using

the Microsoft Office ribbon for details.

Reduced memory usage during acoustic optimization

Dragon 11 uses significantly less memory than previous versions during optimization. Running the Acoustic Optimizer regularly is

important for improving your User Profile’s accuracy over time, and it is easier to do in Dragon 11.

Support for OpenOffice.org Writer

Dragon 11 provides Full Text Control for OpenOffice.org Writer. At any time, you can use commands like "correct <xyz>" and "insert

after <xyz>.”

Easier names for popular programs

Dragon now recognizes shorter names for popular Windows programs. For example, now you can say "Open Microsoft Word" rather

than "Open Microsoft Office Word 2007."

Shift Ctrl mouse click voice commands

Dragon provides new voice commands for pressing the Shift and Ctrl keys by voice in conjunction with right or left clicking the mouse.

These options provide greater flexibility with certain Windows programs.

More file formats for use with digital recorders

Playback options added to the Text-to-Speech Options: control playback/rewind/fast forward speed (in %) and volume (in %).

Recognition History shows commands and timestamps

The Recognition History window displays the utterances Dragon recognized in the current session. It now shows which utterances

were recognized as commands, and provides a timestamp for all utterances. You can also store recognition history information in text

files, which may be useful if you need to contact Support.
