Dragon Dictate (Mac) for screenwriting

    Hi there, I am disabled and purchased DD to help me write my stories. I am still learning how to use it, but, getting the hang of it. When I was considering buying it, I asked around if it could be used to write a screenplay with Celtx. I was told yes.
    If anyone has screenwriting experience, u know all the crazy things that go into writing a screenplay or theater play. I would love if DD could be used on Celtx to write my story. Can someone help me link the 2 together so I can write? I was reading about the "golden rule" of not interfering and not sure what to do. If I could even add a template to text edit or DD edit, that could work (then I could cut and paste it).
    Please help me. I am NOT computer savvy and don't have a lot of knowledge on it.

    Also, it is my understanding that I can't use DD to get any other email except for Mac. So, If I have gmail or yahoo mail, all i can do is dictate commands, I can't search or scroll down. Is that correct?
    thanx

    Hello,
    I have just tried out the update using Celtx. To my surprise, the accuracy of Dragon Dictate has improved tremendously.

    When I stated Tab Key, it often got to the correct place, but when I added directions, then the tab key would not keep going so that the directions or transition icon was reached. Sometimes it tabbed and richotcheted back to Character format.

    Any help will be appreciated.
