Dragon Voice Shortcuts for Email and Calendar
Dragon Voice Shortcuts collapse common multi-step tasks into direct
voice commands. Now you can send emails and schedule meetings
— faster than ever. At any time, no matter what is active
on your screen, you can automatically create and address an email.
For example, if you’re reviewing a website and you need to
send an email to colleagues, just say, “Send email to Jon
Smith and Raphael Sanchez,” and Dragon will activate your
email program, create a new email and put the contact names you’ve
said into the “To:” box. For new meetings or appointments,
you can say, “Schedule meeting with Jon Smith and Raphael
Sanchez,” and Dragon jumpstarts the process by opening a
new calendar entry in Outlook and adding to it the selected contact(s).
You can also say, “Schedule appointment with Design Team”
or “Schedule an event with All Employees” using existing
contact lists. (See the feature highlight. )
Dragon Voice Shortcuts for Web Search
Dragon Voice Shortcuts collapse common multi-step tasks into direct
voice commands. Now you can search the Web for information, products,
news and more — faster than ever
Dragon Voice Shortcuts make searching the Web faster and easier.
Just say commands containing your desired search words, such as
“Search the Web for financial management resources”
or “Search maps for Italian restaurants in Burlington 01803,”
and Dragon 10 will use the default search engine and Web browser
to enter your dictated term(s) in the search field and return
the results. Thanks to Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky”
search, you can also get the top-ranked site directly, by saying,
“Find a site about motorcycles.” You may also search
specific sites directly for videos, images, news, articles and
products using commands such as “Search Wikipedia for George
Washington Carver,” or “Search eBay for Bluetooth headsets.”
Sites supported by Dragon Voice Shortcuts include Google, Yahoo,
eBay, Wikipedia, YouTube, about.com, and more. See sample commands.
(See the feature highlight. )
Dragon Voice Shortcuts for Desktop Search
Dragon Voice Shortcuts collapse common multi-step tasks into direct
voice commands. Now you can search your computer — faster
than ever
Dragon 10 introduces commands to search your computer as directly
as the Web, by dictating the word(s) to find in documents, emails
and Web-browsing history. For example, you can say, “Search
computer for launch plans” and Dragon will complete the search
using Google Desktop or Windows Vista desktop search. In addition,
commands such as “Find an email about the Robinson report”
directly open the top email containing the dictated keywords.
Searching your computer has never been faster — or easier.
Quick Voice Formatting (“Delete | Copy | Bold | Underline
| Italicize ” commands)
New direct commands for formatting, deleting, and copying words
and passages
Rather than selecting the relevant word(s) or passage and commanding
what to do with that text (e.g., “Select very, [pause] Bold
that”), you can now directly name the desired text with the
desired action in a single voice command, such as “Bold very.”
Just like in the familiar “Select ” commands, you can
even designate a whole passage by quoting its first and last word(s).
(See the feature highlight. )
New UI Look and Feel
Updated icons are intuitive and easy to see
Dragon 10 introduces new graphical icons to enhance the DragonBar
user interface, including a larger microphone icon, making the
product easier to use.
Improved Help System and Tutorials
Includes enhanced Sample Commands window and interactive HTML
tutorial with a completely new look and feel
Dragon 10 offers an enhanced Sample Commands window and interactive
tutorial with a completely new look and feel. The new Web and
Flash-based system offers improved navigation and content —
comprehensive resources are just a command away! In addition,
Dragon 10 also introduces a new mechanism to enable the creation
of customizable help screens for end-users to be reminded of their
favorite commands. (See the feature highlight. )
Improved Natural Commands for Microsoft Office 2007
Use your voice to control advanced features of Microsoft Office
2007
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 makes it easier than ever to use speech
recognition with Microsoft Office. Use your voice to dictate,
edit and control applications like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook,
and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Improved Natural Commands for Mozilla Firefox
Improved Web browser experience is now available for Firefox
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 makes it easier than ever to use speech
recognition with Mozilla Firefox, the award-winning Web browser
used by tens of millions of people worldwide: you can now benefit
from Natural Language commands, and the ability to activate a
hyperlink by just saying part of its name.
Improved Enterprise Security Features (encrypt macros for distribution)
More configuration options provide administrators with better
control of Dragon in the enterprise. Encrypt custom commands before
distributing them.
Dragon 10 offers a command-line utility to let Value Added Resellers
and IT departments encrypt custom commands before distributing
them.
Improved Enterprise Security Features (disable creating, changing,
or running of scripting commands to prevent VBA-viruses)
More configuration options provide administrators with better
control of Dragon in the enterprise. Control the access to VBA-style
custom commands. Advanced scripting commands can be used to create
viruses, so Dragon 9 introduced the ability for the administrator
to disable custom command creation by restricted users. Since
it’s rather extreme to prevent all users from creating any
type of command when the aim is to prevent misuse, Version 10
introduces the ability to disable each command type individually.
More Flexible Enrollment for younger speakers and users with certain
speech challenges
Self-paced reading is available for speakers who have difficulty
with the existing interactive text passages
Reading an acoustic training text efficiently teaches one’s
voice to the software, and Dragon 10 offers an easier way to do
it: print or view the entire text and record it at your own pace—without
needing to satisfy the validation done by the software in the
original prompt screens. By making it easier to train the product
to one’s voice, Dragon 10 improves the experience for younger
users and users with certain speech challenges.
Regional Accent Support
Significant increase in accuracy for accented speakers by using
more advanced adaptation techniques and accent-specific models.
Following a significant data collection effort and research, Dragon
10 incorporates new acoustic models for better coverage of non-native
and regional accents. Together with more powerful adaptation techniques,
this will help everyone get better recognition accuracy —
from the very first use.
Option to Disable Microsoft Text Services (CTFMon)
Easily turn off Alternative User Input Text Input Processor (CTFMon)
to eliminate potential conflicts with Dragon
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 reduces to a simple checkbox the multi-step
process of disabling alternative services that may cause conflicts,
such as advanced technical services on Windows XP or handwriting
features on tablet PCs.
Better control of commands vs. dictation on the Web
Require “Click” for hyperlinks and disable Web commands
separately from dictation support
Dragon 10 helps ensure a comfortable experience on the Web, addressing
the concern that words you mean to dictate may be interpreted
as a command, even if said in isolation. Dragon 10 now provides
finer options for optimal comfort on the Web whether you intend
dictation or action: one can disable HTML commands and also require
saying “Click” for hyperlinks separately, without disabling
dictation support. In addition, Dragon 10 replaces some existing
single-word HTML commands with multiple-word equivalents, to avoid
confusion with those single words meant as dictation:
DragonTemplates with Voice Fields
Quickly automate form filling applications. When creating Text-and-Graphics
commands, you can now include variable fields to easily create
templates that can be filled out by voice or by hand.
Auto Configuration for Optimal Performance Based on System Profile
Latency configuration on “slow” machines and per-application
disabling of Natural Language commands. Installation automatically
detects PC’s resources and adjusts options for optimal speed.
During installation, Dragon 10 automatically analyzes your PC’s
resources and changes default settings as needed to increase speed;
this may include moving the Speed vs. Accuracy slider towards
speed and disabling the Natural Language commands in some applications.
The users can later change these options if they wish. In addition,
DNS10 gives finer control over the support for Natural Language
commands, which means users can gain speed if they only use Natural
Language commands in some applications. One can disable these
large sets of flexible command wordings separately for Microsoft
Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Corel WordPerfect.
Formatting and Word Properties Interface Enhancements
New Formatting dialog and Word Properties let you control the
written forms more finely than ever, including alternate forms,
spacing and capitalization before and after each item. Dragon
10 gives easier and finer control over the form, spacing and capitalization
of items written in various contexts (e.g., inserting a space
before or after, capitalizing the next word, or using alternate
forms like “Fig.” instead of “figure” before
numerals.) For instance, if you want all numbers between zero
and ten to be written as numerals, you can now simply set this
with just one check on the Formatting dialog.
Embedded Data Collection Tool
Data Collection engine embedded in the product. A New User Wizard
screen invites users to participate in a program designed to collect
data to improve the overall accuracy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
The option is off by default.
