Introducing Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
ragon NaturallySpeaking lets you talk to your computer instead of
typing. As you talk, your words are transcribed onto your screen and
into your documents or e-mail messages.
Talking to a computer while it types what you say is called dictating. You
can dictate into Microsoft
®
Word, Corel
®
WordPerfect
®
, e-mail
programs, personal information organizers, and virtually any other
program in which you normally type.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking is good for:
Composing letters, memos, and e-mail messages. Just think about
what you want to say, and then say it into the microphone.
Writing a report, article, or story. Brainstorm out loud and capture
your thoughts on screen. Then edit your work by voice or mouse
and keyboard.
“Typing up” notes from a meeting. When you get back to your desk,
simply read your notes into the microphone.
You can also use simple voice commands to revise and format text, move
around your document, and control your computer. Learn the basics in
your Dragon NaturallySpeaking Quick Start booklet.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking isn’t just for typing, however. You can also
use your voice to start programs, open menus, and click buttons. If you
use Internet Explorer to browse the Web, you can use Dragon
NaturallySpeaking to follow links and go to favorite sites by voice. You
can learn how in Chapter 5, “Controlling Your Computer by Voice.”
D
CHAPTER 1

If you share your computer with family members, friends, or colleagues,
they can also use Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Simply create a new set of
“user speech files” for each person who wants to talk to the computer.
Find out how in Chapter 6, “Creating New Users and Managing Users.”
After you become comfortable talking to your computer, you may want
to take the convenience of dictating a step further by using a portable
recorder with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. This option is available if you
have Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred or Professional. We
recommend that you buy the Dragon NaturallyMobile™ recorder (a
handheld digital recorder offered by Dragon Systems) but you can also
use a recorder you already own. For more information, see Appendix A,
“Using Dragon NaturallyMobile.”
If you have Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional, you can expand the
power of using speech by creating your own voice commands. Find out
how in Chapter 7, “Creating Your Own Dragon NaturallySpeaking
Commands” (Professional edition only).
The Professional edition also lets you create and customize additional
vocabularies for dictating in different subject areas. For more
information, see “Creating specialized vocabularies” on page 44.
What should I expect from
Dragon NaturallySpeaking?
One reason to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking is to do your writing more
quickly. Another is to reduce the stress associated with keyboarding. Or
maybe you just like the idea of being able to lean back in your chair, put
your feet up on the desk, and still get work done.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking is good for all these reasons, but making it
work well requires some effort from you. Dragon NaturallySpeaking
actually learns about your voice and pronunciation as you use it. When
you use words the program doesn’t know, it will make mistakes, and
you’ll have to stop and correct them.
It may take a while before you feel comfortable and productive using
Dragon NaturallySpeaking. You can find out more about how to make

the program work well by reading Chapter 2, “Using Dragon
NaturallySpeaking Successfully.”
Do I still need my mouse and
keyboard?
Although you can use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to do almost
everything on your computer by voice, some things are still easier to do
by mouse or keyboard.
If using a mouse and keyboard is an option for you, try experimenting
with using your voice and using your hands for different tasks, to see
what works best. If using a mouse and keyboard is not an option, read
Chapter 5, “Controlling Your Computer by Voice.”

f you followed the exercises in your Dragon NaturallySpeaking Quick
Start booklet, by now you’ve had a chance to try dictating with
Dragon NaturallySpeaking. So, are you ready to throw away your
keyboard? Probably not. Chances are there are more mistakes in your
document than you’d like to see.
Why does the program make mistakes, and what can be done so it makes
them less often? This chapter provides some background information to
help you understand how Dragon NaturallySpeaking works. It then
reveals the “Seven habits for success with Dragon NaturallySpeaking,” a
list of tips and procedures you can follow to make the program recognize
your speech accurately.
How Dragon NaturallySpeaking
works
When you talk into the microphone, Dragon NaturallySpeaking doesnt
hear words or phrases. The computer hears your speech as a continuous
stream of sounds. From this stream, Dragon NaturallySpeaking picks out
common sound patterns, known as phonemes.
To match these sound patterns to words, Dragon NaturallySpeaking
relies on two large sources of data: acoustical data and language data.
I
CHAPTER 2
Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking Successfully
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide
8
Dragon NaturallySpeaking uses acoustical data about the sound patterns
that make up different words to choose the words that most closely
match what it heard. Since no two people sound exactly alike, Dragon
NaturallySpeaking does a much better job of matching sounds to words
when it knows something about your pronunciation. When you first
trained the program, you provided acoustical data on top of what Dragon
NaturallySpeaking already knows about the sounds of English.
Sometimes its not possible for Dragon NaturallySpeaking to choose the
correct word based on sound alone. Consider these two phrases: “pizza
delivery boy” and “Pete’s a delivery boy.” When spoken, they sound
exactly alike. How would Dragon NaturallySpeaking know which to
choose? When it’s not clear from sound alone what was said, Dragon
NaturallySpeaking uses language data about the frequency with which
words in English appear alone and in combination with others to
determine which words were most likely spoken. The phrase “pizza
delivery boy” is more common than “Pete’s a delivery boy,” so the
program would favor this phrase over the other.
Since people write differently, it helps if Dragon NaturallySpeaking
knows something about the frequency with which you use different
words. When you run Vocabulary Builder™, or make corrections in the
Correction dialog box, you’re providing the program with language data
about how often you use different words.
Knowing that Dragon NaturallySpeaking uses acoustical data and
language data to recognize your speech can help you know what to do to
make the program work better.

Seven habits for success with
Dragon NaturallySpeaking
The rest of this chapter describes seven habits you can adopt to make
Dragon NaturallySpeaking work well for you. If you make the
techniques and procedures in this chapter a habit, and continue to use
Dragon NaturallySpeaking regularly, you should be able to make the
program recognize your speech accurately 95–98 percent of the time.
Positioning your microphone
correctly
You’ve already heard a lot about the importance of your microphone
position. If you followed the instructions on the screen when you first
started Dragon NaturallySpeaking, your microphone is probably in about
the right position. But you should continue to think about your
microphone and check its position frequently to make sure it hasn’t
moved out of place.
Seven habits for success with Dragon
NaturallySpeaking

Speak properly to the computer
Correct recognition mistakes
Add words to the Dragon NaturallySpeaking vocabulary
Run Vocabulary Builder
Train Dragon NaturallySpeaking to recognize problem words

If you have Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional, you can also
create specialized vocabularies to enhance recognition accuracy. See
“Creating specialized vocabularies” on page 44.
CHAPTER 2

Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide
10
If you find that Dragon NaturallySpeaking is making too many mistakes,
experiment with moving the microphone a little closer to or farther from
your mouth.
If extra words, such as “and” and “the,” are often inserted into your
document, Dragon NaturallySpeaking may be interpreting the sound of
your breath as speech. Try moving the microphone slightly to the side,
so it’s not directly in front of your mouth.
Keep in mind that it’s easy for the microphone to move slightly out of
the best position. You might not notice if this happens, because Dragon
NaturallySpeaking may still get most of your words right. But if the
microphone is even slightly out of place, the program may no longer be
able to tell the difference between similar-sounding words, such as “our”
and “are,” and will begin making subtle mistakes.
Make it a habit to check your microphone position regularly. If accuracy
ever seems lower than normal, always start by checking your
microphone.
You can double-check your microphone position at any time by running the Audio
Setup Wizard. (On the Dragon NaturallySpeaking Tools menu, click Audio Setup
Wizard.) Make sure your audio quality is reported to be “Acceptable.”
Speaking properly to the
computer
At times the computer will type something that sounds like what you
said but isn’t quite right. People sometimes misunderstand each other in
the same way. But the computer is not a person, so it won’t help to:
YELL
t a l k s l o w l y
or. say. only. one. word. at. a. time.
This section provides some guidelines for talking to a computer.
TIP
CHAPTER 2
Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking Successfully
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 11
Speak naturally and continuously, but
pronounce each word clearly
When you talk to another person, you can mumble and run your words
together and still be understood most of the time. For example, if you
say, “Didja eat?,” a person will probably understand that you’re asking,
“Did you eat?”
But Dragon NaturallySpeaking has trouble interpreting mumbled or
slurred speech. The computer recognizes speech most accurately when
it can hear each word distinctly.
To understand what it means to speak both clearly and naturally, listen
to the way newscasters read the news. If you copy this style when you
use Dragon NaturallySpeaking, you should see an improvement in how
well the program recognizes what you say.
Make it a habit to say each word clearly when you talk to the computer.
Avoid leaving out words and making extra
sounds (like “um”)
In conversation with another person, it’s okay if you leave out a word
here and there. People are good at filling in the blanks in a sentence.
Unfortunately, the computer is not very good at this. If you leave out
words, Dragon NaturallySpeaking also leaves them out.
Another thing people do well is ignore all those “ums” and “you knows”
that show up in conversation. But the computer has no way of knowing
which words are unimportant, so it simply transcribes everything you say.
Make it a habit to avoid leaving out words or making extra sounds. It
may help to compose your thoughts before you speak.
Speak at your normal pace—don’t slow down
When another person is having trouble understanding you, speaking
more slowly usually helps. So it’s not surprising that people often slow
down and begin sounding out each syllable when Dragon
NaturallySpeaking makes mistakes.
It doesn’t help to speak at an unnatural pace when you’re talking to a
computer, however. This is because the program listens for predictable
CHAPTER 2
Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking Successfully
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide
12
sound patterns when matching sounds to words. If you speak in
syllables, Dragon NaturallySpeaking is likely to transcribe each syllable
as a separate word.
Make it a habit to speak at your normal pace, so Dragon
NaturallySpeaking can learn your normal pronunciation.
Speak in phrases, rather than one word at
atime
Along with the tendency to speak slowly, people often begin saying just
one or two words at a time when Dragon NaturallySpeaking makes
mistakes.
Surprisingly, speaking in very short phrases or individual words can
actually lessen accuracy. This is because Dragon NaturallySpeaking uses
the context of a phrase to help it decide what you said.
Consider the following phrase: “Dear Mr. Jones.” If you were to dictate
this phrase one word at a time (“dear “mister” “jones”), Dragon
NaturallySpeaking might type “Deer” or “Gear,” instead of “Dear.” But
if you were to dictate the whole phrase (“dear mister jones”), the program
can use context to determine that the word you want is most likely
“Dear.”
Make it a habit to dictate in phrases, so Dragon NaturallySpeaking can
use context to help determine what you said. It may help to compose
your thoughts before you speak.
Speak at your normal volume—don’t whisper
or speak too loudly
When you first started Dragon NaturallySpeaking and read the training
text aloud, the program adapted to the pitch and volume of your voice,
along with learning your pronunciation.
For this reason, you should continue to speak at a normal volume (or
slightly louder if this helps). If you shout or whisper, Dragon
NaturallySpeaking won’t understand you as well.
Make it a habit to speak at your normal volume, since Dragon
NaturallySpeaking has adjusted to this volume.
CHAPTER 2
Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking Successfully
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 13
Correcting recognition mistakes
When Dragon NaturallySpeaking types the wrong words, you should
correct these mistakes by using the Correction dialog box. By correcting
mistakes, you actually teach the program not to make the same mistakes
again.
Correcting mistakes in the Correction dialog box requires some extra
effort, but it saves you time in the long run by making Dragon
NaturallySpeaking more accurate.
You’ll probably need to use the Correction dialog box often when you
first start using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and then less and less as the
program learns from your corrections.
Correcting mistakes
You can correct mistakes as soon as they happen or go back and correct
them later. This section describes each approach.
Correcting mistakes as soon as they happen
When you see a mistake in your last word or phrase, you can stop and
correct it by saying
“Correct That.”
To correct your last word or phrase:
As soon as you see a mistake, say
“Correct That.”
Saying
“Correct That”
opens the Correction dialog box.
You can use a keyboard shortcut to open the Correction dialog box. It’s the
minus (-) key on the numeric keypad.
About “Correct That”
Using
“Correct That
to correct your last phrase is practical only when
the phrase is fairly short (fewer than 20 words). A longer phrase may
not fit completely in the Correction dialog box, and it’s more
difficult to find a correct alternative in the list for a long phrase.
To fix mistakes in a long phrase, you can correct just the specific
wrong words. See “Going back and correcting mistakes later” on
page 16.
TIP
CHAPTER 2

Using the Correction dialog box
When the Correction dialog box opens, if the correct word or phrase is in
the list of choices, you can simply choose it.
To choose the correct text:
There are two ways to choose the correct text:
Say “Choose” and then the number of the correct alternative. For
example, say “Choose 2 (or “Choose Numeral 2”).
Click the correct alternative, and then click OK (or say “Click OK”).
This closes the Correction dialog box and enters the text into your
document.
If none of the choices exactly matches what you said, you must enter the
correct text.
To enter the correct text:
There are two ways to enter the correct text:
Start typing the correct word or phrase into the text box. As you
type, the list shows alternatives that match what you’ve typed so far.
Start spelling the correct word or phrase. Say the letters
continuously and quickly, not one at a time.
When you see the correct choice, choose it (by mouse or voice).
Text box
You can resize the
Correction dialog box by
dragging a corner or
side.
