modes What they do

Normal Mode Dragon's default mode of dictation. In Normal Mode,

Dragon distinguishes dictation from words, numbers, and

commands by analyzing what you say between pauses.

Say "Start Normal Mode" or "Normal Mode On."

Dictation

Mode

A restricted recognition mode that causes Dragon to inter-

pret everything you say as dictation and nothing is inter-

preted as a command. Dictation Mode can be helpful if you

want to dictate as quickly as possible, or dictate without

looking at the words Dragon transcribes. Say "Start Dic-

tation Mode" or "Dictation Mode On."

Command

Mode

A restricted recognition mode that causes Dragon to inter-

pret everything you say as a command and nothing is inter-

preted as dictated text. Say "Start Command Mode" or

"Command Mode On."

Numbers

Mode

A restricted recognition mode that causes Dragon to rec-

ognize only numbers. If you are dictating only numbers

(including currencies), working in this mode increases rec-

ognition accuracy. Say "Start Numbers Mode" or "Numbers

Mode On."

Spell Mode A restricted recognition mode that causes Dragon to rec-

ognize only letters, numbers, commands, and punctuation.

Spell mode is useful for dictating unpronounceable alpha-

numeric strings, such as part numbers and license plate

numbers, and other terms you anticipate Dragon won’t

know, such as Web addresses, words in a foreign lan-

guage, or unusual product names. Say "Start Spell Mode"

or "Spell Mode On." You can still use commands while in

Spell Mode.
