I desperately needed dragon for 600 word blog entries that I need to crank out six to eight times a day and the thought of doing this with manual typing-well let’s just say it was not an option. This is the first time I put it on a laptop and would you not know I got that blue screen either during training or if I made it through the training it would crash after a sentence or two of dictation. You can use it with regular home dragon and use the keyboard shortcut to turn on and off (the buttons wont work out of the app). I spent a fortune on two copies of the software and had been using Dragon for years on all my towers.

Thank God for this website’s postings about Dragon naturally speaking preferred. To make the microphone stop listening temporarily, say 'Go to Sleep.' To reactivate the microphone, say 'Wake Up. You can also say 'Microphone Off' to turn the microphone off.

I simply disabled the background noise button and now it works perfectly so far. Microphone Buttons If using a PowerMic II or III, this menu allows users to assign actions to certain microphone buttons. Tap the round Dragon icon button on the Dragon Remote Microphone screen to control the microphone on the DragonBar. I just want everyone to know on this website that I am dictating this from Dragon naturally speaking preferred version number nine that I bought several years ago and gave up trying to get it to function on my ASUS laptop with that chipset and soundcard.

Dragon microphone will not turn on
