To navigate e-mail fields:

Here’s an example of how to dictate a simple e-mail message.

To dictate an e-mail message:

Say “

New Mail.

” The new message opens on your screen.

Say “

Go to To Field.

” Pause (to make sure you are in the correct field),

then dictate the recipient’s e-mail address, for example

“harriet at

dragonsystems dot com.”

If you are entering more than one address,

separate each one by saying “

comma

.”

(optional) Say “

Go to CC Field

” or “

Go to BCC Field

,” pause, and dictate

the addresses of the people who should receive copies, or blind copies,
of your message.

In many e-mail programs, you can also say just “Subject” or “BCC” to move to the

field by that name.

Say “

Go to Subject Field,

” pause, and dictate the subject of your message,

for example “

Planning A Trip To See You.”

Say “

Go to Body Field,

” pause, and begin dictating the body of your

message.

See the online Tutorial and your

Quick Start

guide for more detailed

information on dictating and formatting e-mail.

Transferring dictation into your e-mail

If you have dictated text into another program such as the DragonPad, or
have transcribed text from a mobile recorder, you can transfer it into an
e-mail message.
