Launching and quitting applications
To launch applications using Dragon, just say "Activate <application>" (for example, "Activate Safari"). If the
application is not running currently, it will be launched. If it is already running, this command will bring it to the front.
You can also quit applications by saying "Quit this application" or "Quit <application>" (for example, "Quit TextEdit").
If this is the first time you have launched Dragon, the "Activate" commands will not yet be available. Next
time you launch the application, Dragon will look through all the applications on your computer and generate
Activate commands for each of them.
If you are still unable to use "Activate" commands, click the in the menu bar and select Preferences… In
the General pane, make sure that Generate Application Launch Commands is checked in the General
pane.
