# Welcome to Dragon Professional Anywhere

Dragon Professional Anywhere enables you to create text via speech recognition in any app that you can type in. In many apps the text is written directly into your app, in some others the text is written into the Dragon Professional Anywhere Dictation Box and then you transfer it to your app.

You can control Dragon Professional Anywhere using the user interface, your keyboard, your voice or the buttons on your microphone. The descriptions in this help are based on the default settings Dragon Professional Anywhere is delivered with; to change how you control it, use the Options dialog box.

## Working quickly

Use auto-texts to insert standard blocks of text; this saves you having to repeatedly record the same thing. To display a list of available auto-texts, say what can I say and scroll to the Auto-texts section.

Use your voice instead of your keyboard or mouse to perform tasks. Many of the actions in Dragon Professional Anywhere can be initiated via voice command. To display a list of available voice commands, say what can I say.
