Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking in TOTAL

Written by on March 11, 2014

Today's TOTAL update is the most comprehensive update to our forms engine in quite some time, and includes improved support for speech-to-text programs, such as Dragon® NaturallySpeaking®.

The benefits of using Dragon are twofold:

  • You can simply speak your text into a headset, and Dragon converts what you say into text directly on the form. This is especially useful in multi-line fields, and since most of us speak faster than we type, this can save a ton of time.
  • You can control the program with your voice, navigating between fields and PowerViews using TOTAL's standard hotkeys.

Tips for getting started:

  • When you install Dragon, you'll want to uncheck the option "Use Dictation Box for unsupported applications," which enables Dragon to post your text directly into the forms.
  • To take full advantage of this feature, it helps to know TOTAL's hotkeys. Click here to get a printable list.

Note: We've tested TOTAL with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 and 12 Premium Edition.
