1. Exit any open program. If an anti-virus program is running, turn it off until after the installation ends.

2. Put the Dragon DVD into your PC or open your download file.

3. Enter the serial number found on the DVD sleeve or, for a download, in the email you received.

Once installation ends, start Dragon (double-click its icon on the Desktop).

If applicable, connect your microphone; if you simply use your PC's built-in microphone, Dragon will detect it.

Dragon will list the microphones available to your PC, indicating which one is active. Choose the one to use.

The first time you start it, Dragon guides you to create the best possible user profile for you.

A profile is a set of files that store information Dragon uses to transcribe what you say, such as how you sound.

Your profile will become more and more precise the more you use Dragon.
