![]() ![]() The installation utility automatically upgrades them to work with the new version of the program. ![]() Those already seeing the benefits of Dragon speech recognition for dictation and application control will still see bonuses in version 13.Īccuracy is improved so even fewer corrections will be needed and those who use the software on their laptops are now be able to dictate directly to the onboard microphones, rather than having to wear headsets.Īlthough the new application has to be installed from scratch, you can take your existing speech profiles with you for the devices you use - cabled headset, Bluetooth, or dictation recorder, and so on. This makes it much easier to dictate in hotel rooms and other locations away from home, without having to carry around and wear a headset. As long as you speak without waving your head around too wildly and in a reasonably quiet environment, the software can cope. It's now geared to working with the microphones built into many laptops. You don't have to wear a headset to speak to Dragon 13. ![]() You can now dictate your emails and send them without having to use the keyboard. The same goes for email clients, such as Gmail and Yahoo! Mail, as well as Office Outlook and Outlook Express, which were already supported. You can also issue searches by voice, by saying things such as "Search Google for cute cats". You can edit Internet pages within these browsers, too, so you could, for instance, update a blog in WordPress or add posts in Facebook with the same kind of editing facilities you'd have under voice control in a local word processor. This means you can use any of the major Internet browsers to search and display information and control them entirely by voice. The new edition adds control of browsers, such as Google Chrome and Firefox, to its existing support for Internet Explorer.

So, for example, if you regularly add a scanned image of your signature to the bottom of letters, you can automate this process and add it as a new command, called something like 'My Signature'. If you have tasks that you regularly undertake in whatever software Dragon 13 is controlling for you, you can automate them, in the same way as creating a macro, and add them to the list of commands the program understands. Within the Learning Centre, the M圜ommands tab handles just that. It also reminds you that you don't have to do everything by voice command it can be very efficient to mix voice, keyboard and mouse as you work. The panel showing recognised commands also offers tips on using the program, such as getting your ideas down first and editing afterwards. The contents of the Learning Center are context sensitive, so it adjusts to the applications you're working with. It works under four different area headings: dictating, navigating, editing and controlling. ![]() This is a panel that by default sits on the right-hand side of the screen, offering help with the words and phrases the program understands.
