Dragon entered text into my document when I was trying to dictate a command. Why?
To make sure Dragon understands that you are dictating a command, pause slightly before and after speaking the
command. If you are still having trouble, try switching to Command mode. See Recognition modes for more
information.
To remove a command mistakenly typed into your document, say "Scratch that." See Take it back for more on
undoing dictated text and commands.
How can I make Dragon recognize my name correctly?
You can add your name to Dragon's vocabulary by using Correction. Just say "Correct that" or "Correct <your name>"
after Dragon types the wrong word, then choose the correct name from the list, or edit one of the options and change it
to your name. For detailed instructions, see Correcting recognition errors.
Alternatively, you can open the Vocabulary Editor and add your name manually. For detailed instructions, see Adding a
User vocabulary item.
If your name is in Dragon's vocabulary, but Dragon's recognition of it is poor, try training the vocabulary term to teach
Dragon how you pronounce your name. See Training a vocabulary item for detailed instructions.

I have color blindness. How can I tell what mode the microphone is in?
If you cannot distinguish the color of the microphone button, look for other visual distinctions between the button
states, as described in the table below:
Icon Visual characteristics
l White outline on a green background
l Small white lines around the top of the microphone
l Button pulses based on the volume of the detected audio.
If you do not see any pulsing movement when you speak, the microphone
may be off.
l Dark red outline on a red background
l White outline on a light blue background
l Moon and star icons to the left
l Button pulses based on volume of the detected audio
Dragon detects audio in sleep mode, but only responds to the command
"Wake up."
You can also tell whether the microphone is on by checking the Dragon menu:
1. Click the icon in the menu bar to open the Dragon menu.
2. Check the first option in the Dragon menu.
l If the microphone is on, the first option in the Dragon menu is Turn Microphone Off.
l If the microphone is off or in sleep mode, the option is Turn Microphone On.
