C H A P T E R 3 Starting to Dictate
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 33
When Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® is recognizing a command, the
Results box has a bold blue border, so you can tell that it is recognizing
your utterance as a command.
A line at the bottom of the Results box changes color from yellow to
green as you speak. This line is a volume meter that duplicates the
functions of the microphone volume meter on the DragonBar.
You can move the Results box anywhere on the screen by dragging it
with the mouse. To stop Dragon NaturallySpeaking
® in the middle of a
recognition process and switch off the microphone, click on the small red
circle in the upper-left corner of the Results box.
The Results box is useful in three ways. When you notice the volume
meter change to green, you know the computer is actually hearing you.
When you see the Results box fill with words, you know that Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
® is processing what you say. And finally, after you
finish a command or phrase, the Results box shows you what Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
® thought you said. You can then determine whether
Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® recognized your dictation correctly.
You can also anchor the Results box permanently in one place. From the
Tools menu of the DragonBar, click Options, then click the View tab and
enable the respective option.
Controlling Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®

You can access the functions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® with voice

Bar.”(Available in Preferred edition only.) For a list of other voice
commands that control Dragon NaturallySpeaking
® , see “Controlling
the DragonBar” in the Appendix, page 218.
