Here’s a quick Tuesday tip for folks using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for the PC:
To save time, you can use the command “search Dragon Help for…” naming the word(s) you wish to search for in the Help: for instance, you could say “search Dragon Help for punctuation and symbols.” Note that the words you name in this command will be considered individually unless you put them in quotes: for instance, you could say “Search Dragon Help for open-quote Firefox commands close-quote.”

Here’s a quick Tuesday tip for folks using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for the PC:
Dragon can adapt its Vocabulary based on designated documents. It also has the ability to quickly learn from your usage of several e-mail programs: Lotus Notes, Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, and Windows Mail. By “studying” the e-mails you sent as well as the recipient names, Dragon can identify potentially useful contact names to add to the Vocabulary, as well as adapt its statistical information on word usage (frequency and context). Learn more on page 28 of the DNS 11.5 End-User Workbook (will open PDF).

Here’s a quick Thursday tip for folks using Dragon Dictate for Mac and Dragon NaturallySpeaking for PC:
If something is not in the Vocabulary, the software cannot recognize it. So don’t hesitate to add items even if you think you will not dictate them very often! When adding an entry to the Vocabulary, be sure to spell and capitalize it correctly. Otherwise, it will appear misspelled in your documents every time you dictate it.
