C H A P T E R 3 Starting to Dictate
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 26
Click the microphone button to turn the microphone on. The button
and the volume meter next to it change to show if the microphone is off
or on.
▲ Off—the computer can’t hear you.
▲ On—the computer is listening. It will type whatever it hears.
Dictate a sentence about the weather. Or read this:
I am now able to talk to my computer!
(Say “exclamation point” for “!”).
Go ahead and dictate whatever you like. Remember to say punctuation.
Here is what to say for the most common punctuation marks. (For a
complete list of punctuation, see page 240.)
Did it work?
If no words appear, check that the microphone is plugged in
correctly and is turned on (by pressing the microphone button on
the DragonBar, as described above). If only one or two words appear,
your microphone may be set up incorrectly or your sound settings
may need to be changed. See page 211 for instructions on how to
test your sound system.
If words did appear, but many are not what you said, that’s okay.
