install and configure Dragon
setup your profile
dictate, format and delete text
add custom words and phrases to your Dragon vocabulary
the difference between dictating text and commands
proof reading
loading and safely closing Dragon

Although there are two more advanced modules available, this course covers what most people want to do – dictate text! – and you will be confidently doing this in less than 60 minutes.

Dragon can seem a bit daunting when you first try it and I show you how to make this easier by focusing on three key voice commands – these are all you need to get started when dictating, and this can make it so much easier, because there is less to remember. You can then move on and add to your knowledge when you are ready. A good example of this might be adding words such as acronyms or unusual names to your vocabulary that are specific to the way that you write.

The average typing speed is 30-40 words a minute – follow this course and you will be working three times faster!

I’m excited to be able to say that the course has been accepted by Student Finance England and can be recommended for university students in the UK!
