Using E-Mail and Microsoft Internet Explorer
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide
86
The e-mail commands described in this chapter are designed to work in
these five applications. To use them, make sure Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
and your e-mail application are both running.
If you use Microsoft
®
Outlook
®
, Outlook
®
Express, or Lotus
®
Notes
®
, you can add
the contact names in your address book to your vocabulary, which improves accuracy
when you dictate these names. You can also have Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
automatically scan your sent e-mail messages so it can better learn your writing style. For
instructions on how to do this, see “Add contact names to the vocabulary” on page 170.
Checking for new e-mail
To check for new mail, say “
Check For New Mail
” or “
Check For E-Mail
.”
You must be connected to the Internet to check your e-mail.
You can say “Mail,” “Message,” “Memo,” or “E-Mail” interchangeably in any of
the e-mail commands.
Opening and closing e-mail
To open an e-mail message, select it and say “
Open Mail
” or “
Open That
.”
To close an open message, say “
Close Mail.
”
You can also move to the message and select it by “pressing” function and arrow
keys by voice (see “Pressing keyboard keys” on page 111) or using the mouse
movement commands (see page 117).
Composing e-mail
To compose a new message, say “
New Mail
” or “
New Message
.” Once the
new blank message appears, you can navigate to any field by voice and
start dictating.
If you use a different e-mail program
If you use an e-mail application that is not on the list above, you can
still compose, edit, and send e-mail using the global commands
described in chapters 3 and 4. You can send and print e-mail by voice
too, but instead of having built-in commands available to do this
you’ll need to say the names of menus, menu choices, and dialog
boxes, as described in chapter 9, “Hands-Free Computing.” In
Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
Professional and higher editions, you
can also create your own commands to work with e-mail and other
applications.
