Starting to Dictate: Your First Dictation

You can use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to dictate into virtually any Windows application. Further in this

workbook, you will learn how to start programs by voice (but one doesn’t need to have started a program by

voice in order to dictate into it.)

What you dictate will be inserted wherever your insertion point (cursor) is located in your document. There are

many ways of moving the insertion point by voice, but know that you can also re-position it by hand (clicking

the mouse where you want it, or using your keyboard’s arrow keys) just as you normally would.

TIP

Before dictating, make sure the desired window is active (its title bar should not be dimmed), and the

insertion point is where you want your dictation to appear. (Your operating system can make such visual

elements easier to see; Windows XP’s Accessibility Wizard, under Start>Programs>Accessories, walks you

through various items that can be helpful, such as increasing the thickness of the insertion point.)

Dictating Text and Punctuation Marks

Here are the most common punctuation marks, followed by what you say to “voice-type” them:

. period

, comma

question mark

! exclamation point or exclamation mark

: colon

;

semi-colon

For these exercises, start a word processor (like DragonPad—say start DragonPad).

Exercise 1: Look at the following sample, dictate it, then say microphone off. (If any word is misrecognized,

ignore it for now.) The very first words may take a moment to appear on the screen; this is normal.

How is this different from dictating to a person? I should try to provide clean input: speaking

naturally, but without mumbling or trailing off!

CAUTION

Do turn off your microphone when you finish dictating! If your last sentence reads something

like “trailing off! Microphone off", you probably forgot to pause briefly before giving the command.

New Line and New Paragraph

When typing, you use your Enter key to start a new line or new paragraph. With Dragon active, you can still

press your Enter key (or any other key on your keyboard), but you can also simply say commands like new line

or new paragraph.

Note: When you start dictating your new paragraph, Dragon will capitalize its first letter automatically, just

like it automatically capitalizes after a period, an exclamation point, or a question mark. By default, Dragon

does NOT capitalize the first word after you say the command new line.

TIP

If you prefer new line to trigger capitalization, you can change its default via the Vocabulary Editor,

since new line belongs to a special group of commands accessible there; these so-called dictation commands,

such as “Cap”, “Caps On” and “Numeral”, appear near the very top of the Vocabulary Editor’s list, with a

blank Written Form field. To find them quickly, change the Display drop-down list to “Word with spoken forms
