If you want to dictate something substantial, consider using Dragon’s Dictation Box, an intermediary 2.
window containing a text field in which you can create, modify, and correct text as usual, with Full Text
Control. (If your edition supports them, you can even use boilerplate custom commands to paste text.)
When the text is ready, just say or click the
Transfer button: Dragon closes the
Dictation Box and transfers your text to
where you had the cursor.
To open the Dictation Box, you can:
Say a command such as ‘Open •
••
•
Dictation Box’
Use the DragonBar’s Tools menu•
Use its hot key: Ctrl+Shift+d•
There is a lot of flexibility around the Dictation Box. In addition to changing its hot key in the Options
dialog, you can:
Give its command one or more alternate names (from the Command Browser: to find the command, •
you can filter for the word ‘box’, with ‘Global Commands’ selected in the Context list).
Modify its appearance and behavior, via its Settings button: default font size, positioning (anchored, or •
near the cursor), whether it shows how many characters it contains…
TIP : You can have
different settings for
different applications. Also,
you can have multiple
Dictation Boxes open at one
time.
