CHAPTER 8
Using Natural Language Commands
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide

To make Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
do what you want, you can’t say
just anything. For example, consider what you would say to format the
text you’ve selected in bold. Would it be one of these phrases?
■ bold this
■ bold that
■ make this bold
■ format this bold
If you say one of these phrases, Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
will do what
you want. But if you say “please bold this text now,” the program won’t
recognize it.
To see commands that Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
will recognize, such
as the four “bold” commands listed above, use the Sample Commands
window and the Command Browser.
The Sample Commands window
To see some of the commands that Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
will
recognize, use the Sample Commands window. To show this window,
choose Sample Commands from the Help menu on the DragonBar or say
“What can I say”. The contents of the Sample Commands window
change depending upon what application is currently active.
The Command Browser, described below, is the most comprehensive
place to see what commands are available in each application. It lets you
view additional commands beyond the commands listed in the Sample
Commands window.
The Command Browser
To open the Command Browser, click Command Browser from the
Tools menu on the DragonBar. Click Built-in to view a list of commands
built-in to Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
