Link to Support: The DragonBar's Help menu now includes a direct link to the Web page for Nuance
Customer Service and Support.
Updated application support:
Internet Explorer 9 commands are added for using the One Box (which combines Web address entry and
the search box) and for pinning shortcuts to Web pages to the Windows Start menu.
After Dragon 11 introduced support for OpenOffice.org Writer 3.1 and 3.2, Dragon 11.5 extends that
support to 3.3.
Earlier versions of Dragon introduced support for Windows Live Mail 2009. Dragon 11.5 extends that
support to Windows Live Mail 2011 and provides improved online Help.
Improved control of where you can save a Roaming User Profile: Now anyone with administrator
privileges can set the “Prompt before saving to network location” option in the Administrative Settings
dialog, so that users can choose where to save their profiles. With this option enabled, when you close
Dragon or shut down or log off your computer, a dialog box appears letting you choose whether to save
your profile locally or to a master network location. If you are on a slow network, you can save your
profile locally to save time. When you're ready later, save it to the master location to make any updates
available at other network locations.
What’s New in Version 11.0?
Ellipsis (dot dot dot) triggers capitalization of the following word
You can modify this default through the Vocabulary Editor’s Properties button. If your usage of ellipsis is mostly for the end of
sentences (as opposed to within a sentence), you can keep this default; to handle the cases when you do NOT want the ellipsis to
trigger capitalization, you can say “no caps” right after the ellipsis.
Spoken forms do not allow punctuation
See examples in the Vocabulary Editor and the workbook.
Dictation commands (such as “cap” and “caps on”) are now lowercase
This can matter for users who create or modify custom commands that refer to dictation commands, in HeardWord statements for
instance. The Dictation Commands can be seen at the top of the Vocabulary Editor’s list.
The DragonBar menus and icons, including the former “Select-and-Say”
The DragonBar is designed to help you discover and quickly access important tools. In addition, it keeps important status indicators
close together: microphone status, the Text Control indicator, the Recognition Mode indicator, and messages from Dragon.
Full Text Control (formerly called "Select-and-Say"): The Text Control Indicator shows you the level of dictation support you can
expect for the text field where you currently have your cursor. In Microsoft Word or DragonPad, for instance, Dragon has Full Text
Control so the DragonBar shows a green checkmark (previous versions used a green ball). By contrast, where Dragon has only Basic
Text Control, such as in PowerPoint and Firefox, the checkmark is gray (previous versions used a gray ball).
The DragonBar now includes an icon indicating whether Dragon is in Normal, Dictation, Command, Numbers, or Spell Mode.
The menus are restructured provide easier access to important features. The former NaturallySpeaking menu is now called Profile;
it contains only items related to your profile, including Backup and Restore. The Words menu is now Vocabulary and only includes
Vocabulary-related features. The Accuracy Center has moved to the Help menu, under "Improve My Accuracy."
