Creating Application-Specific Commands

Users can create user-customized voice commands for their applications using
Applescripts.

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.

After creating the AppleScript, you can execute it by placing it in the folder Library/

location.
