Starting to Dictate

I f you're new to Dragon NaturallySpeaking, read this section to learn
the basics. You can also run the Quick Tour to see Dragon
NaturallySpeaking in action. (On the Dragon NaturallySpeaking Help
menu, click Quick Tour.)
Dragon NaturallySpeaking can help you write more efficiently, but
making it work well requires some effort from you. Dragon
NaturallySpeaking actually learns about your voice and pronunciation as
you use it. When you use words the program doesn't know, it will make
mistakes, and you'll have to stop and correct them.
It may take a while (perhaps even a few weeks) before you feel
comfortable and productive using Dragon NaturallySpeaking. You can
find out more about how to make the program work well for you by
reading your Dragon NaturallySpeaking User's Guide.
Follow the steps in this section whenever you want to use Dragon
NaturallySpeaking:
Start Dragon NaturallySpeaking from the Windows Start menu, if it's not
already running.
If there's more than one Dragon NaturallySpeaking user on the
computer, the Open User dialog box appears so that you can choose your
user name.
