TIP

By default, some Microsoft applications show only the most-used menu items. For optimal voice usage,

consider changing this default (this may be located in the application’s Tools menu: open the Customize dialog

and check the box “Always show full menus.”)

Menu items often open dialog boxes, which may contain controls such as buttons, checkboxes, tabs, and radio

buttons. How do you access these by voice? You guessed it: “say what you see”!

IMPORTANT:

You can choose to have Dragon require the word ‘click’ just before the name of menus and

dialog box controls: for instance, for a button labeled “OK”, you would say click OK. This can be useful to

prevent unintended recognitions, such as the inadvertent voice-clicking of the “Send” button in email. Dragon

offers a similar “Require ‘Click’” option for HTML links (it applies to hyperlinks in supported Web browsers as

well as in the Dragon Tutorial, Sidebar, and Accuracy Center). See the Commands tab of Dragon’s Options

dialog.

This workbook presents several of Dragon’s dialog boxes, which often contain controls labeled Cancel, Yes, No,

or OK; as you follow the step-by-step instructions and perform the exercises in each chapter, take the

opportunity to practice accessing the boxes and their controls by voice.

Exercise 1: Previous lessons introduced you to the Options dialog box; we will use this dialog box to practice

accessing buttons, tabs, and other interface controls.

Open Dragon’s Options dialog, then its View tab. 1.

Select and unselect the radio buttons and checkboxes for the DragonBar.2.

Restore the defaults.3.
