What happened to Transcription sources?
Transcription sources are no longer stored in the Profiles pane. If your Dragon for Mac 5 or Dragon Dictate 4 profile
included Transcription sources, they are available in the Speaker dropdown list in the Transcription window.
Upgraded Transcription sources appear in the format "<Transcription source> (<Profile name>)." For example, if you
had a Transcription source named "iPhone" and a user named "Marie," the Speaker appears as "iPhone (Marie)."

Upgrading from Dragon Dictate version 4
I just upgraded from Dragon Dictate version 4 – what do I need to do now?
l Be sure to update your Web Extensions. Go to http://www.nuance.com/extensions5 and follow the
instructions.
l Remove the Dragon Dictate 4 icon from your dock. By default, Dragon Professional Individual for Mac 6
doesn't appear in the dock and works differently from Dragon Dictate.
1. Control-click the Dragon Dictate 4 icon.
2. In the pop-up menu, select Options > Remove from Dock.
l Dragon creates a folder called Dragon in your Documents folder and automatically places all new profiles in
this folder. You can move your existing profiles into this folder or leave your existing profiles where they are.
l Go to the top of the page for information about files you can delete after upgrading.
Where did Dragon go?
Dragon Professional Individual for Mac 6 only appears in the menu bar, not the dock, and is designed to stay running
constantly. You no longer need to switch from your current application to Dragon and switch back to use any of
Dragon's features. You can even change profiles from the menu bar without ever leaving your application!
To launch Dragon, you can do any of the following:
l Go to the Applications folder and double-click the Dragon icon.
If you want to add Dragon to the Dock, drag the Dragon icon from the Applications folder to the
Dock.
l Use Spotlight to search for and launch Dragon.
To make sure Dragon is always running, even if you restart your computer, open Dragon and do the following:
1. Click the icon in the menu bar and select Preferences….
2. In the General pane, select Launch Dragon at Startup.
What happened to Text Macros?
Text Macros are now Auto-texts. They work just like Text Macros.
