When Dragon is active, the DragonBar will be located at the top of the screen. In the top right corner of the DragonBar, next to the X icon, there will be either an empty circle with a slash though it or a green circle. This is an indicator to tell you if DragonBar has control over text on the page you have selected (meaning it can type if it is green). Even if the indicator isn't green, you can still use Dragon's voice controls to navigate your computer with commands.

Interactive Tutorial

When you first boot up Dragon after installation a tutorial should open. This tutorial should lead you through the typing functions of Dragon. You can reopen this tutorial at any time by clicking on the help menu and clicking "Interactive Tutorial" OR by turning on the mic and saying, "open help menu" and "click interactive tutorial".
