Starting to Dictate
ow that you’ve installed your software and created and trained your
user files, you’re ready to dictate your first sentence.
First, start your word processor, such as Microsoft ® Word or Corel ®
WordPerfect ® , and begin a new document. The text insertion point
should be at the start of your new document, as if you were going to
begin typing.
For Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® to recognize your voice, you need to
turn on the microphone. The microphone on/off control is located on the
DragonBar, the horizontal bar that appears on-screen whenever you are
using Dragon NaturallySpeaking
® .
The Sound menu is available only in the Preferred edition.
DragonPad
If you don’t have a word processor installed or if you’d prefer not to
use it, you can use the DragonPad, a simple word processor included
with Dragon NaturallySpeaking
® . To open the DragonPad, from the
Tools menu on the DragonBar, click DragonPad.
