About commands
When Dragon NaturallySpeaking hears certain phrases,
it performs an action instead of typing the words into your
document. These phrases are called "voice commands,"
or just "commands."
Following is a list of the most popular Dragon
NaturallySpeaking commands. For a complete list, see
Appendix B of your Dragon NaturallySpeaking User's Guide.
To make commands work:
Don't pause in the middle of saying a command. If the
command is "Scratch That," for example, don't pause
between the words "scratch" and "that."
Do pause briefly before saying the command. The pause
lets Dragon NaturallySpeaking know that the phrase may
be a command.
What if I say a command, but it's typed as
dictation?
If you pause correctly, but Dragon NaturallySpeaking still types
your command as dictation, you can force it to recognize what
you say as a command by holding down the
you speak.
What if I dictate text, but it's interpreted as
a command?
If you dictate text, but Dragon NaturallySpeaking interprets
your words as commands, you can force it to type your words
as dictation by holding down the
