Additional information

Hiding the application

Dragon Medical One is always displayed on top of other open applications unless you actively hide it.

To hide the application, say hide Dragon, click or press CTRL + ALT + H.

To show the application, say show Dragon, click in the notification area or press CTRL + ALT + H again.

If you exit the application, it will not be available in the notification area.

Adaptation

Dragon Medical One adapts to how you use vocabulary and your dictation style. This means that the more you use the application the more accurate the recognition results are. The application uses your final text to learn; if you have corrected text, the system compares it to your recorded speech. Words which you record but which are not known to the application are added and will be recognized when you use them in the future.

If you transfer text to an application that Dragon Medical One cannot directly write in and then correct it, your corrections will not be used for adaptation; correct the text in the Dictation Box before transferring it.

Speech recognition online help

To help you work more efficiently, a variety of speech recognition features are available, for example, voice commands, auto-texts, scratch that, etc. The more you understand speech recognition and how to work with it, the faster you can create dictations. Automatic formatting (for example, dates, times, measurements, etc.) can also be very useful.

For more information on how to get the best results, say launch help and open the Speech Recognition Help tab.

SpeakAhead

In general, when you are speaking, you do not need to wait for the recognized text to be written. If you navigate between different sections of your document, you do not need to wait until the text appears in one section before moving onto the next.

When using voice commands, it is recommended to pause to ensure that the command is performed before continuing.

Speech recognition server connection

The speech recognition process takes place in the cloud via an Internet connection; everything that you say is protected and secure.

If there is a problem with your connection during recording, the microphone is turned off. To start again, click or press the plus sign on your number key pad.

Text transfer method

In the Dictation Box pane in the Options dialog box, the Text transfer method section defines how Dragon Medical One interacts with the target application. Unless you have serious problems transferring text, do not change the default setting.
