Dragon commands cheat sheet

Category: Native dragon features

I made these notes on a reread of the manual to try to cram some more of these into my head!

Desktop icons
"Move down 2"
"press shift f10"     displays context menu

Selecting text
"select again"     selects next instance of search text

Web browsing
"show choices" " drop list" "open list"
"type text"

Keypad and function keys
"press keypad one"
"press function one" cancel

Mouse
"drag mouse down"
"mouse left 10 "

Text/Number Format
"Caps on”
“All caps on”
“All caps Melissa” = MELISSA
"No Caps on"
"set font arial 12 bold" (order is font face, and size, then style)
"restore that" = removes formatting
"set font arial 12 bold in the word/line/paragraph " (order is font face, and size, then style)
"numeral three"
"format that spelled out"
"format that number"
"no space on"
"spell mode on"

Bullet Points/Numbered Lists
"set the paragraph to bulleted/numbered"
"delete bullets from the document"
"unnumber the selection"

Managing Vocabulary
"add new word"
To create a shorthand spoken form of a word or phrase, go to "View or Edit Your Vocabulary" in the Accuracy Centre.

You don't have to understand how Natlink/Vocola works to use any of the Vocola commands on this site or on speech wiki

Just follow this procedure to incorporate a Vocola command into your Dragon setup:

1. Install Natlink/Vocola.

2. Restart your computer.

3. If the command is for a particular application, open that application and say "edit VoiceCommands" OR If the command is global, say "edit global VoiceCommands".

A blank command file will display.

4. Copy the Vocola command that you want to use to the clipboard (from this site or from speech wiki).

5. Go back to the command file you just displayed, and paste the command on a new line anywhere in the file.

6. Say "refresh macros" to save the commands.

7. Close the command file window.

You're now able to use the new command.

NOTE: Natlink/Vocola is free, versatile and compatible with all editions of DNS (you can even use it to create commands with Standard editions), but it has its quirks. If you're looking for a complete command set with user support, you may want to consider a buying product like Knowbrainer or hiring an SR professional to customise commands for you.
