How to Use Instructions - How to Install Instructions - How to Upgrade Instructions

Dragon for E-Mail offers fast, easy "Press-and-Speak" access to email messaging function of BlackBerry, simply by using your own voice.

When an email message ready for composition is open, a single press and hold of the side speech button will launch Dragon for E-Mail. Dragon for E-Mail can be used to compose, reply or forward an email message. However, when the side key is pressed outside of an email message composition window, the Voice Dialing application will be launched by default.

Dragon for E-Mail lets you dictate in the “Subject”, “Body” or in “Address” fields of the composition window by moving the cursor to the field. You can speak a name in the "Address" field from the contact list into the "To" or "Cc" or "Bcc" fields if you have uploaded contacts during installation.

How to Use Instructions

Step 1: You have to be in the BlackBerry’s email composition window (via New Composition, Reply or Forward)

Step 2: Cursor must be in the Address, Subject or Body Field of the email message.

Step 3: Press and Hold the Side convenience Key (Left/Right) assigned to Dragon for E-Mail during installation.

Step 4: While Key is pressed, speak your contact name, message subject or body with cursor in the appropriate Field. Note: You can dictate to the Address Field only if you uploaded your Contacts.

Step 5: Release the Side Convenience Key when you have finished dictating; the application will process your speech and the text will be displayed in the email composition message.
