Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
n Do not run other programs when you are running your word processor.
n Disable your word processor’s automatic spelling and grammar checker. Turning these
options off frees memory for speech recognition. When you have finished dictating
you can run the grammar checker. Dragon does not make spelling errors.
n Disable any automatic correction or other automatic features such as automatic for-
matting if they are not necessary. Turning these options off frees memory for speech
recognition.
n Divide large documents into multiple smaller documents. Large documents cause
Dragon to work more slowly. The maximum document size you should have depends
on your system and its resources.
n You can cancel a selection by saying "Unselect That," selecting different text, or mov-
ing the insertion point to another part of the document.
Caution
When text is selected, be careful not to breathe loudly, clear your throat, or make other
sounds. Dragon may interpret such sounds as speech and replace the selection with new text.
If this happens, say "Undo That" one or more times right away to reverse the action.
