the tips in either direction. Note that until you use the Next button, Dragon will present the same tip each time the

window opens.

DragonBar minimized in the System Tray:

If you like to keep the DragonBar minimized as a Tray Icon only, now you can display its content by voice

command as well by right-clicking the icon. Just say "Open Dragon’s tray menu.”

“List all windows” and “List windows for Dragon”:

Dragon's command to open a numbered list of open windows now includes Dragon windows (Dictation Box,

Vocabulary Editor, Command Browser, and others). And if you want to see just the Dragon windows, you can say

"List windows for Dragon," like you can say "List windows for Internet Explorer."

Faster restoring of user profiles:

If Dragon was unable to open your profile, it presents the Launch Restore window, where you can choose from

available backups.

Note: Dragon offers many ways to refine your profile. The more refined your profile, the more you can reap

Dragon’s time-savings and convenience benefits. Your profile is important. As for all important data, it’s a good

idea to make a backup of your profile regularly and copy it to a location outside of your usual computer

New Text-To-Speech voice:

Dragon now provides more natural Text-To-Speech voices. (To try it, you can select some text in an editable

document and say "Read That.")

Wireless dictation with smartphones and related devices:

The Dragon Remote Microphone app released with Dragon 11.5 for iPhone and other iOS devices is now

available for Android. Once the app is installed on the Android device, you can set up your device with Dragon

and use it as a wireless microphone over Wi-Fi. (When Dragon presents its list of available audio sources, choose

“Dragon Remote Microphone application.”)

Note: If you have edition Premium or higher, you can add a source to an existing user profile. Otherwise, you

must create a profile for each type of audio source you wish to use (Mic-In, USB, or Dragon Remote

Microphone application).

Setting up a smart device is faster with a barcode

When you set up an Android or iOS smart device for use as a wireless microphone, Dragon offers a barcode, so

you can just point your device’s camera at the computer screen to capture the information that the Dragon

Remote Microphone Application needs.

(Premium and above only) Enhanced Bluetooth wireless support:

In this release you can gain accuracy if you have a certified wideband Bluetooth microphone (with USB

dongle), such as the 16 kHz Plantronics Calisto II BT-300. You must plug the microphone’s dongle into your PC

before you open Dragon. Then, Dragon’s source list will include “Enhanced Bluetooth.”
