The Dragon Glossary
Dragon Voice Shortcuts (definition)
Dragon voice shortcuts collapse common multi-step tasks into direct voice commands that
you can say at anytime, no matter what is active on your screen.
For example, you can immediately switch to and start a new task, such as search the Web or
your computer, or compose an e-mail or set up an appointment.
Enterprise Profile Management (definition)
Enables you to dictate with Dragon from different network locations and on different com-
puters without having to create and train individual User Profiles at each location. When
Enterprise Profile Management (also known as Roaming)is enabled and a Dragon user
creates a new User Profile, the new profile is a Master Roaming User Profile, which is then
available from a network location. When you open the Roaming Master User Profile,
Dragon downloads it to the local system and maintains it locally during your dictation ses-
sion. Dragon synchronizes the local copy of the Roaming User Profile with the Master
Roaming User Profile when you save and close a dictation session.
Field (definition)
A field, also referred to as a variable field, is an alphanumeric string enclosed by text delim-
iters. For example, the following sentence appears in the Dragon CCU fellow admit tem-
plate included in Dragon Medical: The patient was seen in conjunction with Dr.
[ProviderName]" In the example, "[ProviderName]" is the variable field, the square brackets
are the default delimiters, and the text string "ProviderName" is the variable that the
Dragon User Profile will replace with a provider name when using the template to complete
a report.
Full Text Control (definition)
Refers to the level of dictation control available in Web and desktop programs and windows
when Dragon fully supports creating, editing, and formatting content. When a program or
part of a program has Full Text Control, you can move the cursor reliably – for example, to
the beginning or end of a line or paragraph. You can also select, format, and revise text as
needed using Direct Editing commands or the Correction menu.
For support Web applications, Full Text Control is activated using Rich Internet Appli-
cation extensions in supported browsers.
The Text Control Indicator displays on the DragonBar and is green when all of Drag-
on's selection and dictation capabilities are supported.
Hidden Mode (definition)
A recognition mode that causes Dragon to send all recognized text to the Dictation Box,
which is active but does not display. All recognized text is added to the Dictation Box,
regardless of the cursor location. Hidden Mode is often used by healthcare providers who
