Working with email
Use Dragon to dictate emails in your favorite email application.
Creating a new message from anywhere on your Mac
Dragon can create email messages in Mail (or your default email application), pre-addressed to any person or group in
your Contacts, no matter what application you are currently using.
Just say "Send an email to <name>." You can also specify multiple recipients – for example, "Send an email to Mom,
Cindy and Patricia."
Dragon opens a new email window, addressed as specified, with the insertion point in the Subject line ready for you to
dictate a subject.
To use this feature, you need to generate email commands in your Dragon preferences:
1. Click the in the menu bar and select Preferences…
2. In the General pane, select Generate Email Commands.
3. Restart Dragon to generate commands for your contacts.
When you first launch Dragon, OS X generates a dialog box asking you to allow Dragon to access your
contacts. To use email commands, you must click OK. If you click Don't Allow, you will need to uninstall
and reinstall Dragon to reset Dragon's OS X permissions.
