Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 6
Improved hands-free capabilities
Improvements in the user interface of version 6 make it possible to
complete almost every task by voice, for users who prefer to work hands-
free. See “Hands-Free Computing” on page 101.
What should I expect from
Dragon NaturallySpeaking?
One reason to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® is to create letters,
reports, and other documents by voice. Another is to speed up routine
tasks, such as entering data, launching applications, sending e-mail,
filling in forms, and working on the Web. Or maybe you need or prefer to
work on the computer with little or no use of your hands.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® is good for all these reasons, but making it
work well requires some effort from you. Dragon NaturallySpeaking ®
learns about your voice and pronunciation as you use it. When you use
words the program doesn’t know, it will misrecognize them. To get the
best results, you’ll need to correct the mistakes so that the program can
learn from its mistakes and improve its ability to recognize your way of
speaking.
Do I still need my keyboard and mouse?
Although you can use Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® to do almost
everything on your computer by voice, some things are still easier to do
by mouse or keyboard. Feel free to use a combination of voice, mouse,
and keyboard to get your work done—experiment to find methods that
work best for you. If using a mouse and keyboard is not an option, pay
special attention to “Hands-Free Computing.” on page 101.
