Start Dragon automatically

1Category: Native Dragon features15

Native Dragon method
  1. Navigate to the miscellaneous tab under Dragon Bar > Tools > Options
  2. Check Launch in QuickStart mode on Windows startup


The method that worked for me
I wasn't able to get the above feature to work, so I started Dragon as a scheduled task on start-up under Windows. The Microsoft site has clear instructions16 and troubleshooting tips17 on running programs as scheduled tasks.

Update: I recently reinstalled Windows on my computer and now scheduled tasks don't work as advertised due to a fault in Service Pack 2. So, after a search of the major speech recognition forums, I found the following, simpler method which works like a charm:

You don't have to understand how Natlink/Vocola works to use any of the Vocola commands on this site or on speech wiki

Just follow this procedure to incorporate a Vocola command into your Dragon setup:

1. Install Natlink/Vocola.

2. Restart your computer.

3. If the command is for a particular application, open that application and say "edit VoiceCommands" OR If the command is global, say "edit global VoiceCommands".

A blank command file will display.

4. Copy the Vocola command that you want to use to the clipboard (from this site or from speech wiki).

5. Go back to the command file you just displayed, and paste the command on a new line anywhere in the file.

6. Say "refresh macros" to save the commands.

7. Close the command file window.

You're now able to use the new command.

NOTE: Natlink/Vocola is free, versatile and compatible with all editions of DNS (you can even use it to create commands with Standard editions), but it has its quirks. If you're looking for a complete command set with user support, you may want to consider a buying product like Knowbrainer or hiring an SR professional to customise commands for you.
