WELCOME TO DRAGON DICTATE 2.5

Dragon Dictate lets you use your voice to perform actions on your computer such as creating or editing documents, managing email, entering prices and other numeric data, searching the web, and more. By reducing keyboard and mouse usage, you can focus more on the content of your writing and get more done faster on your Mac.

This workbook presents the information an end-user needs to know to get started, but it does not cover every aspect of Dragon. The basic training offered here will show you how to:

Type by voice:

 Dictate text and punctuation  Format, edit, and revise text by voice

Command and control your Mac by voice:

 Voice commands to use the Internet and email, open programs, close or minimize

windows, switch between windows, etc.

 “Voice-press” keys or key combinations on your keyboard  Create custom commands to control your Mac

Achieve the highest possible accuracy:

 Personalize the software’s Vocabulary with custom words and phrases, spoken forms

(pronunciations) and written forms, to ensure that Dragon is able to transcribe exactly what you want

 Correct Dragon’s errors when needed so that the software can learn from them and

avoid mistakes in the future

For information about how to install Dragon Dictate, consult the Quickstart Guide or the product User Guide. Once the software is installed, we recommend you read through this workbook. It contains progressive explanations and illustrations, as well as step-by-step instructions and practice exercises. Highlighted notes and tips provide details and alert you to potential pitfalls.

CHAPTER 1:CREATING A PROFILE

Adjust the microphone headset so that it feels

After you’ve installed Dragon Dictate on your Mac, your first step is to create a profile. This profile stores information about the unique characteristics of your voice. It also includes a customizable Vocabulary (the words Dragon is prepared to recognize when you speak), personal formatting preferences and customizable voice commands that you can use to control your Mac. If different people are using Dragon, each person will need to create an individual profile.

When you create a profile, Dragon starts with a general language model and then adapts to how individuals speak and which words they use. This way, the software accommodates users with varying accents and speech patterns. Your profile is key to helping Dragon accurately determine the words spoken and choose between words that might sound alike. Dragon refines your profile regularly, resulting in improved accuracy over time.

TIP For best results, creating a profile should be done in your “normal” environment, with the

same background noise and equipment you plan to use moving forward.

The first time you launch Dragon Dictate, you will be prompted to create a new profile. This includes Voice Training, where you read aloud for a few minutes, enabling Dragon to adapt its acoustic model to the unique way you sound. Profile creation takes about 5-10 minutes to complete, and then you will be ready to dictate.

Step 1: Make sure your USB microphone is connected and is selected as the sound input device. (To be sure that your microphone is properly connected, select System Preferences / Sound / Input.) Adjust the microphone headset so that it feels comfortable and stable. The microphone’s listening side must face the corner of your mouth (not the front) about a thumb's width away. You may need to experiment a bit to find what position is best

comfortable and stable.

for you.

Step 2: Launch Dragon. If Dragon has never been used before on this computer, this

chance to set your profile’s location, you may

place it anywhere you’d like.

automatically brings up the first screen of the Profile Creation Wizard. (Otherwise, choose Profiles from the Tools menu and click the  button at the bottom of the window).

Step 3: Provide a name for your profile and specify the folder where you want to save the user

files on your Mac. Then click Choose.

The data for your profile is stored on your hard disk as a package. When offered the

Step 4: Select the USB microphone from the list of options that appears in the Microphone field

at the top of the next screen.

NOTE For best results, do NOT use the Internal Microphone option. A USB headset, such as

the headset shipped with the boxed package of Dictate, delivers the highest quality audio, enabling Dragon to provide the most accurate results for your dictation.

Step 4: Select your Spelling preference

(US or UK) and select your general accent from the options in the Accent field. Then click Continue, and Dragon will proceed to microphone setup.

Selecting one of the accent model options can help to improve initial recognition accuracy for speakers with accents.

Step 5: Dragon will now calibrate the volume setting within the Microphone Setup window. Click

read aloud. Text will turn

again when you’re ready

the microphone icon (turning the icon from red to green) and read aloud the text that appears in the box in a clear but natural voice. Feel free to say the punctuation. The level indicator to the right of the microphone icon shows your sound input level. Dragon sets your microphone sound input level optimally and will let you know when it has heard enough. You can listen to a playback of your voice for any problems such as too much background noise or distortion. Click Voice Training to advance.

Step 6: The next step is a brief Voice Training, where Dragon asks you to read a story for about

five minutes so that it can adapt to the way you speak. During Voice Training, Dragon listens to your speech, matching your voice and pronunciation to the actual words of the story. When you’re ready to begin, click the arrow key to advance and then enable the microphone by clicking the icon.

During Voice Training, Dragon presents words on the screen for you to

green as it is recognized. If you need to pause, click the microphone icon to turn it to a red “stop sign,” and then click the icon

to resume reading.

Step 7: Dragon presents the first prompt to read. Proceed through the training text by reading it

exactly as it is displayed. The words will turn green once Dragon has “heard” them, but there is no need to wait for this to happen: just speak at your normal pace, clearly and naturally. Progress from page to page is shown by the horizontal progress indicator above the text.

If you need to pause for any reason, press the microphone icon, and then activate it again when you’re ready to continue. Take your time. Try to read naturally but precisely what is on the screen. If the software needs to hear you re-read something, the text will turn red instead of green to indicate that you should re-read that word or phrase. If

necessary, click “Skip Word” to proceed past difficult text.

During Voice Training, Dragon is learning how you sound when you dictate. Using the same tone, pace and volume you are likely to use day-to-day will help Dragon recognize your future dictations most accurately. You may want to keep an eye on the sound input level indicator (the vertical bar to the right of the microphone icon). Speak at a level that keeps this at about the middle of the green section.

Once it has heard enough, Dragon takes a moment to process the acoustic information you just provided and to create your profile. Your profile is now complete, and you’re ready to start dictating!

TIP If you choose, you can complete additional Voice Training to improve your accuracy at a

later time. This process allows you to read additional stories to Dragon so that it can further adapt to your unique voice.

Everyone should consider providing some reading for acoustic training after the first few days of practicing dictation. By then, speaking clearly into the microphone should be familiar, and reading aloud text presented by Dragon should better reflect how you actually dictate. If your speech presents a particular challenge for speech recognition (due to a lisp or a strong accent for instance), you should perform an additional reading for acoustic training as soon as possible.

To complete additional Voice Training:

Step 1: Select Voice Training from the Tools menu.

Step 2: When the Select Text window opens, choose a text to read, then click the right arrow to

continue. Turn on the microphone as indicated and read the story just as you did within the original Voice Training.

ADDING AND DELETING PROFILES

To access the Profiles window, select Profiles from the Tools menu.

By clicking on the image to the left of your profile name, you can change the image associated with a specific profile. Select and modify an image if you choose, and then click Set.

To add a new profile to your copy of Dragon Dictate, just click the + sign at the bottom of the window. You can delete old or unused profiles with the - button.

The Profiles window allows you to manage your voice profiles. To access the Profiles window, select Profiles from the Tools menu.

ADDITIONAL AUDIO INPUT DEVICES

There are many different ways that you can provide audio to Dragon for transcription. Adding a new audio source to your profile is helpful if you want to use more than one type of microphone for your dictation.

NOTE If you already have a Dragon profile and want to use another type of audio input

device (such as your iPhone), don’t create a new profile. Add a new source to your existing profile instead.

Since your profile stores all of the information about your customized instance of Dragon – things like your personalized vocabulary so that Dragon knows the correct pronunciation and spelling of the unique words you dictate, or perhaps custom voice commands that you create for the tasks that you personally perform on your Mac – you’ll want to leverage your customized profile regardless of which microphone you’re using.

To add a new audio source to your existing profile, click the + sign under the Audio Sources field and provide a name for that source.

Now that you have multiple sources, a new field will appear under your profile name, allowing you to easily select which microphone you plan to use for your dictation. If necessary, you can delete an audio source later by using the minus sign in the Audio Sources field.

SUMMARY: CREATING A PROFILE

 Each person who wants to dictate with Dragon first needs to create his or her own

profile. This is a short process, guided through a series of screens. You can change the images associated with a specific profile. In the Profiles window (found under the Tools menu), click the image to the left of the profile name, select and modify your image, and click Set.

 Make sure your microphone is properly connected and positioned, and the appropriate

audio input source (microphone) is selected. Additional audio input sources (such as mobile devices) are reviewed later in this workbook.

 You can “enroll” an additional audio source for an existing profile (for instance, if you

want to use your iPhone as a wireless microphone). Your various dictation sources will benefit from the same vocabulary customizations (special words and phrases, pronunciations, spellings, etc.).

 When reading the acoustic training text, speak clearly but naturally, using the same

volume, pitch and pace you are likely to use day-to-day. Try to read what is prompted as if you were dictating it. You can pause the Voice Training if you need to clear your throat or speak to someone.

CHAPTER 2: MICROPHONE CONTROL

lso includes a “bring to

front” button and icons to control the recognition

below the Status window.

Before you can dictate, you need to be sure that Dragon Dictate will be able to hear you. Your microphone must be connected and positioned correctly of course, but the software also needs to know whether to “listen.” This lesson shows several ways to turn Dragon’s microphone on or off, and introduces the Status window.

THE STATUS WINDOW AND THE MICROPHONE ICON

The Status window is the primary user interface for Dragon Dictate and can be considered the application’s “control center.” When the Status window is showing, it floats over all other applications.

The Status window includes the name of the active profile, a microphone icon and sound input level. The window a

mode and the correction process. As an option, the last recognized utterance can be listed

To show or hide the Status window: say Show Status window or Hide Status window or choose “Show/Hide Status Window” from the Window menu. You can set the Status window’s transparency using the slider found under the Dictate / Preferences menu, Appearance tab.

WHAT’S INSIDE THE STATUS WINDOW:

 The top panel of the Status window identifies the active profile by name.  Next to the microphone icon, Dragon provides a sound input level, a mode button, a

“bring to front” button, and a button for the Recognition Window, used to correct errors.

 Beneath these icons, buttons indicate whether the commands for capitalization, spacing

or numbers are currently active.

 The bottom area of the Status window indicates the dictation target window (e.g., which

application Dragon will place your text into).

 Below the Status window, Dragon can list the last recognized utterance if the “Show

Recognized Text” option is enabled under the Dictate / Preferences menu, General tab.

TURNING THE MICROPHONE ON AND OFF

Within the Status window, the microphone icon appears as a red “stop sign” when the microphone is off. This indicates that Dragon is not listening at all – no sound can affect it. The microphone becomes a green circle when the microphone is on, indicating that Dragon is listening and is ready to transcribe your text or respond to your commands. In addition to the Status window, you can view whether the microphone is on or off by observing the microphone display in the menu bar and the Dock icon.

There are several different ways to turn the microphone on or off.

To turn the microphone on:

 Click the microphone icon in the Status window or the optional status menu item in the

menu bar so that it appears with a round green button.

 Choose Microphone On from the Speech menu.  Choose Microphone On from the Dock menu. (To reveal the Dragon Dictate Dock menu,

hold the Control key while clicking the Dictate icon in the Dock.)

To turn the microphone off:

 Click the microphone icon in the Status window or the optional status menu item in the

menu bar so that it appears with a red “stop sign” button.

 Choose Microphone Off from the Speech menu.  Choose Microphone Off from the Dock menu.

MICROPHONE VOICE COMMANDS AND SLEEP MODE

When you feel comfortable talking to your computer, you may choose to use your voice to control the microphone instead of using your mouse or keyboard. Voice commands can turn the microphone off entirely or put the microphone in and out of a “sleeping” state where it doesn’t transcribe your words but it is still listening. The advantage of Sleep Mode – vs. turning the microphone entirely off – is that you can use voice commands to resume your dictation.

To control the microphone by voice:

Step 1: Turn the microphone on by clicking on its icon, then say go to sleep. Note that the

microphone display now shows a blue balloon with a crescent moon to indicate that Dragon is asleep.

Step 2: To return to the active microphone from the sleep state, say Wake up or Turn [the]

microphone on.

Step 3: Say Microphone off to exit Sleep mode and stop Dragon from listening entirely.

NOTE For all voice commands, there should be a brief silence before and after, but none

in the middle of your command. Otherwise the program cannot recognize the

command and instead transcribes the words. For example, say the words “go to sleep” together in a natural flow without pausing or inserting additional words.

Putting the microphone to sleep is useful when you need to put Dragon “on hold” for a moment. However, leaving it in that state for a long time is not recommended. Turn the microphone off if you will not be dictating for a while (and are physically able to turn on the microphone manually).

If the microphone is on but does not receive input after one minute, the microphone will automatically go into Sleep mode. This Auto Sleep functionality is helpful as it forces you to follow effective microphone control even when you forget to turn the microphone off.

TIP You can set your personal preference

for the time allotted for the Auto Sleep microphone functionality (any range from 30 seconds to five minutes). Adjust the slider found under the Dictate / Preferences menu, Recognition tab. Here you also have the option to turn off the Auto Sleep functionality entirely.

OPTIONAL HOT KEYS INCLUDING MICROPHONE ON/OFF

app turns your iPhone or iPod touch

Some users may find it faster to press a key or two rather than moving and clicking the mouse, so Dragon offers a series of global keyboard shortcuts, or “hot keys” to perform various useful tasks. Hot keys can turn the microphone on/off, switch between speech modes, show/hide the Recognition window to make corrections and dismiss the mouse grid (used to control the mouse by voice).

By default, the hot key combination to control the microphone is Function Command F11.

Optional keyboard shortcuts (hot keys) can be configured to control the microphone and other Dictate tasks.

To set the hot keys for the microphone, along with the other hot keys, select the Preferences option from the Dictate menu. Under the Shortcuts tab, click in the oval shortcut region and type your desired key combination. To delete a shortcut, click the X at the right end of the oval shortcut region.

DRAGON REMOTE MICROPHONE

Most customers use Dragon by speaking directly to their Mac using the microphone included with their Dragon software purchase. But some users can be frustrated by wearing a headset that tethers them to their Mac. With the introduction of the free Dragon Remote Microphone application (available in the Apple app store), you can achieve the same great accurate transcription using a device you may already have: your iPhone! The Dragon Remote Microphone app converts a user’s iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch 4th gen into a wireless microphone

button on your device

add your mobile device as an alternate audio input option once you are more comfortable using Dragon to dictate text and control your computer.

Step 1: In the Profiles window, click the + symbol under the Audio Sources box. Provide a name

for your mobile device and select “Dragon Remote Microphone” from the drop-down menu options.

Step 2: A dialog prompts you to download and install the Dragon Remote Microphone app from

the iTunes store if you have not already done so.

NOTE: Your Mac must be connected to a local area network, and your mobile device must

establish a wireless connection to the same local area network before launching the Dragon Remote Microphone app. The app may not work on certain public networks that restrict device to device networking for security reasons.

Step 3: Within the Settings for the Dragon Remote Microphone app on your mobile device

(found under the gears icon), the name of the Mac running your Dragon Remote Microphone profile will be displayed. Select your Mac and proceed with Voice Training.

Step 4: When you complete Voice Training, your profile opens

with your mobile device as the audio input source. Note that the Status window now has a different appearance since the ability to determine whether or not Dragon is “listening” is now controlled by your mobile device and can’t be controlled from your desktop.

Step 5: To control the microphone, click the Dragon button within the

app on your device. (The green icon indicates the microphone is on; the red icon indicates the microphone is off. Voice commands will also work.)

screen.

Your profile in the Profiles window will now display the Dragon Remote Microphone as one of the audio input options within a drop-down menu when you open Dragon. Be sure that you select the correct option before you begin your dictation.

SUMMARY: MICROPHONE CONTROL

 Dragon “listens” whenever its microphone is on. Remember to turn the microphone off

(or put it into its sleeping state if appropriate) when you are not dictating, like before answering the phone, speaking to someone, or clearing your throat. This is a simple but important habit you should develop quickly.

 To control the microphone, click the microphone icon in the Status window or in the

menu bar / Dock menu. (To set preferences to control the microphone in the menu bar / Dock menu, select the Dictate / Preferences menu, Appearance tab.)

 Keyboard shortcuts can also be a fast and convenient way to turn the microphone on

and off. You can change any of Dragon’s default hot keys, including the microphone’s, in the Shortcuts Preferences pane (found under the Dictate / Preferences menu).

 You can turn the microphone off by saying microphone off, but then the mouse or

keyboard need to be used to turn it back on. You can say go to sleep to put the microphone into a sleeping state, and then say wake up or turn [the] microphone on when you’re ready to dictate again.

 Microphone off, go to sleep, wake up and turn [the] microphone on are all voice

commands. In order for Dragon to recognize and execute the desired action, you must pause slightly before and after but not in the middle of the command.

CHAPTER 3: DICTATING TEXT AND PUNCTUATION

You can use Dragon Dictate to enter text into all of your favorite Mac applications. What you dictate will be inserted wherever Dragon sees the blinking cursor within the active application. But talking to a computer isn’t exactly the same as talking to a person.

HOW TO DICTATE

Speech recognition programs don't understand what words mean, so they can't use common sense the way people do. Instead they keep track of how frequently words occur by themselves and in the context of other words. These contextual clues help the computer choose the most likely word or phrase from among several possibilities. For this reason, accuracy increases if you speak in longer, continuous phrases. Computers can't understand mumbled speech or missing words either. They only understand what was actually spoken.

Try thinking about what you want to say before you start to speak. This can be challenging at first, particularly for those who have been “thinking through their fingers” for years, but you’ll develop the habit once you see what a difference it makes. And keep in mind, there’s no need to talk robotically or to talk really slow. Don’t yell or whisper. Just speak at your normal pace in a normal tone.

Are you ready to get started? For these exercises, open a word processor (like TextEdit or Microsoft Word). Dragon Dictate also offers its own built-in word processor, called Note Pad, which is specifically created for dictation through Dragon Dictate.

TIP A common technique is to dictate into a Note Pad window and then copy and paste into

another application. Note Pad window contents are saved as.rtf files which can be opened for editing later with another word processor (such as TextEdit or Microsoft Word). You can also open an existing .rtf file into a Note Pad window.

To summon a new Note Pad window:

Step 1: Say File New when Dragon Dictate is front-most or choose New Note Pad from the File

menu.

Step 2: To set the default font and size for a new empty Note Pad window, select the Format

menu and choose Font / Show Fonts. Specify the desired font and size, and close the Font palette.

TIP Before dictating, make sure the desired window is active. The application where Dragon

will place your transcribed text is listed in the bottom panel of the Status window.

As you dictate, Dragon places your transcribed text directly into the active application. Underneath the Status window, you can also choose to have Dragon display the last utterance of your speech as it is recognized. This includes text and punctuation. Check the “Show Recognized Text” option found under the General tab within the Dictate / Preferences menu.

Review the following text sample then dictate it in a blank document. (Ignore any errors for now.)

The more I use it, the software will adapt to the way I sound and the words I use. At the same time, I will also acquire good habits like pausing optimally, keeping silent when hesitating, and turning the microphone off, or putting it into its sleep state, when necessary!

NOTE Don’t forget to turn off your microphone when you finish dictating!

PUNCTUATION

Note that Dragon Dictate does not automatically insert punctuation marks for you. Include your punctuation as you dictate your text. Here are the most common punctuation marks, followed by what you say to “voice-type” them:

. period

, comma

? question mark

“ open quote

” close quote

( open paren

) close paren

! exclamation point or exclamation mark

: colon

; semi-colon

… ellipsis

& ampersand or and sign

-- dash

- hyphen

A complete list of punctuation is available in the User Guide and product Help. Note that you don’t always have to say hyphens: thanks to its built-in Vocabulary, Dragon can automatically include hyphens in items such as 3-year-old, above-mentioned, after-tax, ad-libbed, anklelength, and more. Dragon will also automatically hyphenate famous names like Abdul-Jabbar.

Look at the following sample, and then dictate it including the correct punctuation. (If any word is misrecognized, ignore it for now.)

How is this different from dictating to a person? I should try to provide “clean input” (speaking naturally, but without mumbling or trailing off)! :-)

Dictate the last punctuation as smiley face.

NEW LINE AND NEW PARAGRAPH

When typing, you use your Return / Enter key to start a new line or new paragraph. When you’re dictating within Note Pad, TextEdit or Microsoft Word, 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.
