Can/How I use Dragon Naturally speaking to access menu bars and subsequent buttons?

I'm new to DNS - just installed a few days ago and have a new Logitech headset with mic that I bought separately. I've been through all the included tutorials and searched the web, but can't find any mention of how to 'click' on toolbar items, menus, and corresponding items within those toolbar menus. I am a disabled i.t. pro and expected to be pretty able to figure this out, but I haven't. Humbly, with hat in hand, I must admit that I'm stumped... Is this even possible and, if so, how??
Thanks much!

  • Greetings,

    If you are a Mac user you can employ the built-in 'Accessibility' functions that are part of the system-wide, feature-set used to aid the visually or physically impaired.

    Additionally, you should contact Dragon directly. They have a team dedicated to these issues and solutions for many of them.

    Good luck.

    • Thank you for your thoughts....Win10 user, actually, and I first tried its built-in speech recognition capability and found it to be lacking in several capacities that I thought dragon would be far better equipped to handle.....I have also tried contacting dragon directly and they wouldn't give me the time of day b/c I purchased the software off ebay electronically(far cheaper than through Dragon's website(have to pinch what pennies I can on strictly ssd income and all!)).

  • Only because I was curious myself, I looked up the answer and found it here. If you follow the links for the application you want to use, it goes into detail about how to access the menus, etc.

    • And there is nothing in that article that says they will.

      Almost everything you have ever posted about Windows 10 is just flat out wrong.

    Yes, Windows 10, updates have issues some serious and some not so. Removed Useful settings, down the bottom of he page is a classic.

    I had updates turned on on my old w7 Laptop, and nobbling VLC media player was a recurring issue, as was, the volume being reduced, and the file being named as 1, only going to a file with a one in it , instead of the desktop.

    And not to my surprize w10 updates carry advertising, and so forth. Probably another reason big business won't touch it, (l know Enterprize can delay updates, but it cannot stop them).

    I have had updates turned off in my w7Pro, for 1 year 9 months so far, the OS is in perfect working order, and no new issues.

    But l agree WIndows 10 users do have more fun than l do, lol.

      Oh, and BTW, the article you recommended is out of date March 2017.

    • Once again, that article has nothing to do with what you were claiming.
