The DragonBar includes several menus, a message area, and a microphone icon which is horizontal when the
microphone is off. If you click this icon, it becomes vertical: the microphone is on. You can now click the icon
to turn the microphone off. This is just one way to control whether Dragon can listen or not.
Below is a screenshot of the Floating DragonBar, with its titlebar off and the microphone turned on.
TIP The microphone icon is also available in the system tray (on the Windows Taskbar, usually in the lower-
right near the time display). You may want to check that your operating system does not hide it among other
icons. (The illustration below is from the Notification Area Icons section of the Control Panel in Windows 7.)
Note: If you like to keep the DragonBar minimized as a Tray Icon only, Dragon 12 lets you display its content by
voice command as well by right-clicking the icon: say "open Dragon’s tray menu.”
The Microphone’s Commands and Sleep State
One can turn off the microphone by saying the command microphone off. There is no command to turn the
microphone on given that, when the microphone is off, it can't “hear” anything! There are, however,
commands to put the microphone in and out of a “sleeping” state where it doesn’t transcribe your words but it
is still listening. To try this, turn the microphone on by clicking on its icon, then say stop listening or go to
sleep.
IMPORTANT For these and all voice commands, there should be a brief silence before and after, but
none in the middle, otherwise the program cannot recognize the command and instead transcribes the words.
For example, make sure you say the words “go to sleep” together in a natural flow, not “go… to… sleep”.
