Capitalizing a letter
You can capitalize a letter by saying “Press Cap” and then the letter.
For example, to enter “28K” say “twenty eight” and then “Press Cap K” (or “Press Cap
K for Karen”).
Pressing numbers
You can press numbers (0 to 9) by saying “Press” and then the number. For example,
say “Press 8.”
Pressing key combinations
When you’re pressing keys, you can press any combination of the modifier keys
(
SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT) at the same time as another key, such as a letter. For
example, you can say:
■ “Press Control Z” (undoes last action)
■ “Press Alt F” (opens File menu)
■ “Press Shift Tab” (moves backward through dialog box options)
Dragon NaturallySpeaking ignores the command “Press Control Alt Delete” (the keyboard
shortcut for restarting a computer).
Pressing function and numeric keypad keys
To press a function key (F1 to F12), say “Press Function” and then the name of the
key. For example, say “Press Function 1” to bring up the online Help.
To press the keys on the numeric keypad, say “Press Keypad” and then the name of
the key. For example, you can say “Press Keypad Minus” to press the keyboard
shortcut that opens the Correction Menu. See the complete list below:
SAY THEN
Press Keypad 1
Keypad 9 (you can say any number from 0 to 9)
All Dialects: Keypad Point (.)
US/Canada: Keypad Period (.)
Other Dialects: Keypad Full Stop (.)
Keypad Slash (/)
Keypad Asterisk (*)
Keypad Minus (-) (opens the Correction menu)
