Creating Application-Specific Commands

Users can create user-customized voice commands for their applications using
AppleScripts or the KSD Editor.

Using AppleScript

Commands can be added to ViaVoice by writing AppleScripts. These scripts can perform
any function that is "scriptable" on your computer. The name of the script becomes a
voice command that ViaVoice executes when you say it, thereby speech-enabling your
favourite application.
You can create scripts using the Script Editor that is installed with Mac OS X.
From the Applications folder, select the AppleScript folder.
1.
Double-click on the Script Editor icon.
2.
After creating the AppleScript, you can execute it by placing it in the folder, Utilities/
3.
Command & Control/Scripts folder.

Anytime you try to dictate or say a command in an area that

your cursor is in the right location or select an alternate
location.
