Using Dragon Anywhere

Dragon Anywhere is a full-featured mobile app that lets you dictate and edit documents on an iOS or Android device, using all the same customized words and Auto-Text commands you use with your desktop version of Dragon. With Dragon Anywhere, you can:

  • Create a document with the built-in text editor, using Dragon's dictation commands to format and revise as you go.
  • Revise a document stored on your device or import one from a Cloud account. Use the same commands you use in Dragon to move around your document and make changes.
  • Upload .docx or .rtf files from Dragon Anywhere to a Cloud account, then download them to your computer.
  • Add new words to your Dragon Anywhere vocabulary. You can also import words into Dragon Anywhere that you have exported from your desktop version of Dragon and saved in a Cloud account.
  • Add new Auto-Text commands in Dragon Anywhere. You can also import Auto-Text commands into Dragon Anywhere that you have exported from your desktop version of Dragon and saved in a Cloud account.

Linking to a Dragon Anywhere account

To link your desktop version of Dragon to your Dragon Anywhere account and share custom words and Auto-Text commands:

  1. From the DragonBar, select Tools>Options.

    The Options dialog box appears.

  2. Click Dragon Anywhere.

    The Dragon Anywhere page appears.

  3. Select the Share my words and commands with Dragon Anywhere check box.
  4. Specify your Nuance account and password.
  5. Click OK.

Dragon checks for words to synchronize when you log in to Dragon and open your user profile. Dragon then synchronizes the words between your desktop version and Dragon Anywhere in the background when Dragon is idle. Dragon is idle when there has been no user activity for 60 seconds by default.

Dragon continues processing word changes unless you:

  • Resume activity.
  • Turn on the mic.
  • Close your user profile.
  • Log out.
  • Exit Dragon.

When the synchronization completes, Dragon checks for more words to synchronize. If there aren't any, Dragon checks for more words again in 30 minutes.
