Dragon Naturally Speaking

  type what you say.
• It is useful for those without the full use of
  their hands or anyone else who prefers speaking
  over typing.

How to Start

• To start in Dragon you need to open a Word
  Processor and then select Dragon Naturally
  Speaking from the menu bar.
• Now, select Use Natural Word.
• Wait for the program to load then follow the
  promptings and instructions on the screen. It
  will take about 15 to 45 minutes to complete this
  initial part. Dont worry, you only have to do
  this once, and its actually kind of fun.

Where to go, who to ask

• There are two computers with Dragon installed.
  One is located in the Smith Computer Lab. It is
  the fourth computer from the entrance on the left
  side of the room. This lab is on the ground
  floor of the Lee Library (HBLL), south of the
  circulation desk, across from the large globe.

Where to go, who to ask

• The other one is in the computer lab on the 1st
  floor of the WSC, across from the WILK board.
  The computer is behind the lab attendants desk
  in a small, private room.
• If you have any difficulty using Dragon, look
  through the help menu or contact the lab
  attendant on duty.
