Introducing Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
D
ragon NaturallySpeaking lets you talk to your computer instead of
typing. As you talk, your words are transcribed onto your screen and
into your documents or e-mail messages.
Talking to a computer while it types what you say is called dictating. You
can dictate into Microsoft
personal information organizers, and virtually any other program in
which you normally type.
You can use Dragon NaturallySpeaking for:
Composing letters, memos, and e-mail messages. Just think about
what you want to say, and then say it into the microphone.
Writing a report, article, or story. Brainstorm out loud and capture
your thoughts on screen. Then edit your work by voice or mouse
and keyboard.
"Typing up" notes from a meeting. When you get back to your desk,
simply read your notes into the microphone.
You can also use simple voice commands to revise and format text, move
around your document, and control your computer. Learn the basics in
your Quick Start guide.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking isn't just for creating documents. You can also
use your voice to start programs, open menus, and click buttons. If you
use Internet Explorer, you can use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to browse
the Web by voice. Learn how in Chapter 7, "Working With E-Mail and
the Web."
