Using Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
Successfully
f you followed the exercises in your Quick Start guide, by now you’ve
had a chance to try dictating with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. So, are
you ready to throw away your keyboard? Probably not. Chances are there
are more mistakes in your document than you’d like to see.
Why does the program make mistakes, and what can be done so it makes
them less often? This chapter provides some background information to
help you understand how Dragon NaturallySpeaking works.
It then reveals the “Seven habits for success with Dragon
NaturallySpeaking,” a list of tips and procedures you can follow to make
the program recognize your speech accurately. This discussion is
continued in Chapter 3, “Improving Your Speech Recognition.”
The section on “Correcting recognition mistakes” discusses how to
correct misrecognized words, including ways to train the program to
reduce future errors.
The chapter concludes by introducing dictation playback and text-to-
speech (available in Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred and higher
editions), and saving your dictation for later correction (available in
Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional and higher editions).
