Key points for your first dictation:

What you dictate is transcribed at the insertion point (the blinking vertical bar), the place where 

characters would appear if you started to type. (Before you dictate, make sure that the desired window

is not just visible, but also has the focus.)

To modify how Dragon indicates that recognition is in progress, use the View tab of the Options dialog 

(to bring up this dialog, you can say "open Dragon options). To avoid situations where the Results

indicator (the little Dragon icon or the stretching box) prevents you from seeing something on your

screen, you can "anchor" it (check the “Anchor” checkbox, then close the Options dialog and drag the

indicator to the desired place). You can also change how long it remains on the screen.

Speaking in longer, continuous phrases provides contextual clues and thus helps Dragon choose between 

homophones like “right” and “write” or “to” and “two”.

Punctuation is part of the dictation context—it has an impact on recognition accuracy.

Two very frequent dictation commands are new paragraph (which creates a blank line) and new line. 

By default, new line does NOT trigger capitalization of the following word; you can change that 

through the Vocabulary Editor’s Properties dialog.

Your very first dictated words may take a moment to appear on the screen. This is normal.
