Have you ever wanted to rig a microphone to your computer, throw away your keyboard, and dictate everything instead of having to type it out? Dragon NaturallySpeaking enables you to do just that, but turning it from a technological miracle into a working tool takes a little practice. Dragon NaturallySpeaking For Dummies targets new users who are impressed by its capabilities but want to optimize its features. The book is organized thematically and addresses the following topics:
- Installing and launching NaturallySpeaking
- Training yourself (and others!) on basic editing, formatting, and dictation features
- Proofreading and correcting text transcribed from your voice
- Using NaturallySpeaking to interface with other applications (like Web browsers or word processors)
- Dictating e-mails, memos, and calendar appointments remotely
- Customizing NaturallySpeaking to adapt to your way of speaking and to recognize more words in your vocabulary
