key, open an application, or turn the microphone on or off. Step-by-Step
commands are especially useful for controlling applications and for
multistep tasks. Step-by-Step commands are available only in Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
Professional Solutions and higher editions.
Macro Recorder
The Macro Recorder lets you record a sequence of mouse movements,
mouse clicks, and keystrokes. When you say the name of a Macro
Recorder command, Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
plays back the mouse
movements and keystrokes that were recorded. Macro Recorder
commands are more difficult to use than Step-by-Step commands,
because you can’t edit Macro Recorder commands once they are
recorded. Macro Recorder commands are available only in Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
Professional Solutions and higher editions.
Advanced Scripting
Advanced Scripting commands allow expert users to create complex
scripts and sequences to perform virtually any function on the computer
with voice commands. Creating these commands requires expertise in
the Microsoft
®
Visual Basic
®
programming language. Advanced Scripting
commands are available only in Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
Professional
Solutions and higher editions.
If you’d like to use Step-by-Step, Macro Recorder, or Advanced Scripting
commands and you have Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
Preferred, you can upgrade to a
higher edition of Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
. For more information on how to upgrade,
see page 271.
In addition to the custom commands described in this chapter, there is another
way to create a command that types up to 128 characters of text. You can use the
Vocabular y Editor
TM
to create a new word that has a written form that is different from its
spoken form; for instructions, see ”View or edit your vocabulary” on page 173. This
technique is especially useful for phone numbers, URLs, and short phrases.
Viewing or editing commands
To view the custom commands available in your user file, use the
Command Browser. Custom commands are commands you create as well
as the commands included with Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
that you can
modify.
