Problem
When you launch Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 you do not see the Dragon Bar at the top of the screen.
Cause
This is done by design but can be changed.
Solution
- In the bottom right of the screen, right click on the microphone icon (which has a red square background).
- Click “Restore Previous DragonBar Mode”.
The DragonBar should now appear at the top of the screen.
It’s about time somoene wrote about this.
Same problem. When I click the microphone button NO OPTION “Restore previous Dragon Bar mode. ”
There is not enough mention of this issue. Anywhere.
Hello Colin, I would recommend a complete uninstall/reinstall of the Dragon software.
If you are concerned about losing your Dragon profile please read:

You will most likely need to use the manual method. Hope this helps.
THANKS i WILL DO THAT BUT AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN i WAS HOPING FOR A PERMANENT FIX
Hi Colin, Glad I could help but unfortunately with software there is no such thing as a permanent fix, there will always be something to break it!
All we can do is fix it when it does break.
Thanks RusselL I will be more patient
