Working with Applications

Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide

The e-mail commands described in this chapter are designed to work in these five
applications. To use them, make sure Dragon NaturallySpeaking and your e-mail
application are both running.

If you use Microsoft

Outlook

, Outlook

Express, or Lotus

Notes

, you can add the contact

names in your address book to your vocabulary, which improves accuracy when you dictate these
names. You can also have Dragon NaturallySpeaking automatically scan your sent e-mail messages so
it can better learn your writing style. For instructions on how to do this, see “Increase accuracy from e-
mail” on page 121.

Checking for new e-mail

To check for new mail, say “Check For New Mail” or “Check For E-Mail.” You must be
connected to the Internet to check your e-mail.

You can say “Mail,” “Message,” “Memo,” or “E-Mail” interchangeably in any of the e-mail

commands.

Opening and closing e-mail

To open an e-mail message, select it and say “Open Mail” or “Open That.” To close
an open message, say “Close Mail.”

You can also move to the message and select it by “pressing” function and arrow keys by voice

(see “Pressing keyboard keys” on page 32) or using the mouse movement commands (see page 36).

Composing e-mail

To compose a new message, say “New Mail” or “New Message.” Once the new blank
message appears, you can navigate to any field by voice and start dictating.

If you use a different e-mail program

If you use an e-mail application that is not listed above, you can still
compose, edit, and send e-mail using the global (use anywhere) commands
described in “Working on your Desktop” on page 27.
