CHAPTER 3 Starting to Dictate Turning the microphone on and off Any of these three methods will switch the microphone between on and off: s Press the numeric (+) key on your keyboard. This key is at the far right of most keyboards. (It's not the plus [+] key that appears above the equal [=] sign on your regular keyboard). s Click the microphone button on the DragonBar. s Click the small microphone icon in the bottom right corner of the screen, next to the clock: Saying "Microphone Off" will also turn the microphone off. You cannot, however, turn the microphone on by voice. Whenever you're not using Dragon NaturallySpeaking®, turn off the microphone. This prevents the computer from mistaking background noise for words and filling your screen with useless text. If you have a laptop computer, you may have to press several keys at once to generate a numeric (+) keystroke. You may want to define another key to turn off your microphone. See "Customizing Dragon NaturallySpeaking" on page 197. Sleeping and waking up Saying "Go To Sleep" or "Stop Listening" without pausing will put Dragon NaturallySpeaking® into sleep mode. The program still listens to your speech, but the only phrases it will respond to in this mode are "Wake Up" or "Listen to Me," which turn the microphone on. When in sleep mode: s The volume meter on the DragonBar (next to the microphone button) will show a dark gray volume bar (instead of yellow or green). 28 Dragon NaturallySpeaking User's Guide
