About the Dictation Box

About

The Dictation Box is an optional window that gives you the benefits of Full Text Control where it is not possible directly, such as in a PowerPoint slide or Google Docs. You dictate and edit text in the box, and then transfer it to a document or field.

You can move the Dictation box, adjust its size, and change its appearance and behavior. Dragon retains size changes specific to the application where you were dictating when you re-sized it. For example, if you re-sized the Dictation Box when you last dictated with Microsoft Word, Dragon automatically opens the Dictation Box at that size the next time you use it with Microsoft Word.

For more information see Dictation Box settings

Optional?

Yes.

When it appears

If you typically use Dragon without much editing, consider opening the Dictation Box manually only when you need it by doing one of the following:

  • Select Tools>Dictation Box from the DragonBar.
  • Say "Open Dictation Box".
  • Press the Dictation box hot key (CTRL+SHIFT+D by default).

For more information, see Using and customizing the Dictation Box and Dictation Box settings.
