Using the Command Browser
he Command Browser is the most comprehensive place to find which
command work in Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The Command Browser lets
you view both“global”(available everywhere) commands and application-specific
commands for editing, formatting, and controlling specific applications. These
application-specific commands let you avoid the multiple menu-selection and
mouse-movement steps associated with the traditional Microsoft Windows
interface.
Since the number of valid commands is large, you should just try saying what you
want to do. Try finding a way of saying commands that is easy to remember and that
works in Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
You use the Command Browser to:
■ View and train both global and application-specific commands. Global
Commands are the commands Dragon NaturallySpeaking recognizes regardless
of the context. Application-specific commands let you control the applications
on your computer.
■ Create and modify custom commands. Custom commands are commands that
have been added to the built-in command set. (Preferred and higher editions)
■ Change the availability of custom commands. (Preferred and higher editions)
■ Import and export custom commands. (Professional and higher editions)
