Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide

The button and the volume meter on the DragonBar change to show if the
microphone is off or on.

Once the microphone is off, you cannot turn it on again by voice.

Sleeping and waking up

To make Dragon NaturallySpeaking stop listening temporarily:

1

Say "Go to Sleep" or "Stop Listening."
Dragon NaturallySpeaking ignores everything except the "Wake Up" or "Listen
To Me" commands.

2

To reactivate the microphone, say "Wake Up" or "Listen To Me."

You can also press the numeric (+) key to turn on the microphone.

Starting to dictate

To begin dictating, start a word processor (such as Microsoft

®

Word or Corel

®

WordPerfect

®

) and begin a new document. Make sure your text insertion point is at

the start of the new document.

Remember to click in the window you want to talk to before you speak.

Start talking. As you talk, text displays in the Results box while Dragon
NaturallySpeaking figures out what you said. The Results box is a small yellow
window that appears on-screen as you dictate. For example:

The words in the Results box may change as the program considers different
interpretations of what it heard.
