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 close Dragon, click or press CTRL + ALT + H.
To show the application, say open 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 dictate. 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 and adapts accordingly.
If you transfer text from the Dictation Box to a text field that is unknown to Dragon Medical One and then correct it, Dragon Medical One will not be able to see the corrected text and adaptation will not take place; correct the text in the Dictation Box before you transfer it.
If you dictate in an unknown text field using Basic Text Control, adaptation will not take place either.

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.
