12.0

NOTE for Internet Explorer: If you installed Internet Explorer after installing Dragon 12, you must install

Dragon files needed to use this feature in Internet Explorer. To do so, double-click the file setup.exe on your

original Dragon 12 installation medium (for most people, this is the installation DVD). A wizard window will

come up. On it, choose the Repair option, then click Next.

Full Text Control and the Dictation Box

In the web pages supported by the plug-in (Gmail and Hotmail/Outlook.com), you have Full Text Control even

in Firefox and Chrome: Dragon capitalizes the first word, adjusts spacing when you insert a word, lets you

give commands like “insert before launch meeting”...

In contrast, where the plug-in does not apply (i.e. any Web page outside of Gmail and Hotmail/Outlook.com),

there is no Full Text Control in Firefox and Chrome—therefore, in Dragon 12, the Dictation Box will open by

default when you speak (for instance, in the browser’s Address bar).

Notes:

 If the Dictation Box opens with text in it (as it would from the Address bar), you can take advantage of

commands like “delete line”.

 If you disable the Dictation Box option (see the Miscellaneous tab of Options dialog), you can work

around the text control limitations. Examples:

o Say “cap” before the first word (or, after the fact: “cap that”, or “capitalize <word>”)

o If you need to insert within existing text, say “spacebar” to add a space.

“Say What You See” and the graphic

A small graphic marks items that can be activated with the principle “click <name>” e.g. “click inbox” and

“click drafts”.

Navigate fields in any order

In a new email, commands like “go to body” and “go to subject” enable you to navigate the fields in any order

(as opposed to tabbing from one field to the next).
