Status Window

The Status window is Dragon Dictate’s compact control center. When the Status window is showing, it floats over all applications.

Use the Status window to toggle the microphone on or off, to bring Dragon Dictate to the front, and to summon the Recognition window, using the mouse instead of your voice.

Look at the Status window to learn what your sound input level is, what mode Dragon Dictate is in, whether you’re using a capitalization, spacing, or numeral command, what profile is currently active, what the current dictation context is (that is, where Dragon Dictate would type your dictation at this moment), and (optionally) to see how Dragon Dictate interprets what you say.
