Here’s a quick Tuesday tip for folks using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for the PC:
By default, whenever a word-processor document is saved, Dragon asks whether you want to save the recording; in the Options dialog, you can change that setting to always save, or never save. Recorded dictation files can get very large, so you should really only save them if correction is to take place at a later time – without the recorded dictation, you can still edit and format the document as usual.

Here’s a quick Tuesday Tip for folks using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for the PC:
Dragon’s built-in voice commands are great, but you can be even more productive by creating your own custom commands.
