“What Can I Say?”
Saying “
What Can I Say?
” will bring up some Sample Commands. This
information is also summarized in the Appendix. To see additional voice
commands that you can use, click Command Browser from the Tools
menu of the DragonBar. The Command Browser is described in more
detail on page 98.
The DragonBar
The DragonBar is a narrow horizontal window that allows easy access to
Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
functions and features.
Changing the DragonBar position
To change the position of the DragonBar, click the small red Dragon
icon at its far left. A menu will appear, which lets you move the
DragonBar to the bottom of the screen, make it a floating window that
you can position freely, or make it a “clinging” window, where the
DragonBar appears just above whatever window into which you’re
dictating. You can also hide the DragonBar completely by clicking Tray
Icon Only Mode from this menu.
You can also hide the DragonBar by saying “Switch to Tray Icon Only Mode.”
To make a hidden DragonBar reappear, right-click on the small
microphone in the lower right corner of the screen (next to the clock,
usually in the Windows
®
task bar). From the menu that appears, click
Restore Previous DragonBar Mode.
Microphone button and volume display
Click the Microphone button to turn the microphone on and off. When
the microphone is on, a colored bar in the Volume Display shows the
current sound level. Yellow indicates silence or speech that is too soft,
