C H A P T E R 1 Introduction
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 3
All other dialects use UK spelling, punctuation, and time and currency
formats (some number settings depend on your Windows Regional
Settings). Where multiple dialects are used in dictation examples, those
dialects appear in a different font style. For example:
■ You can also correct a longer phrase by saying “Correct [text] Through
[text]” (
US/Canada ) or “Correct [text] To [text]” ( Other Dialects ).
This guide uses US spelling and punctuation for consistency.
4 This guide also includes tips and notes to help you use the software
more effectively. Tips and notes appear like this:
If you pause correctly, but Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® still types a command as
dictation, you can force it to recognize what you say as a command by holding down the
CTRL
key.
With Numbers Mode on, Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® tries to interpret
everything you say as a number. If you dictate words, the results will be unpredictable.
However, you can still navigate menus and switch between programs by voice when
Numbers Mode is on.
What’s new in version 6?
Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® version 6 brings together the best
ScanSoft TM and Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® speech-recognition and
text-to-speech technology to create more accurate, powerful, and user-
friendly speech-recognition software. (Text-to-speech is available only in
the Preferred edition.) In addition to assisting users to operate a
computer hands-free, the software contains many new features and
general improvements.
