Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide
174
For example, when you assign a state to each field in a form, the same command can
perform different actions depending on which field is activated.
You can use Advanced Scripting methods to control the states within structured
commands or to set the initial state from a non-structured command. You can also
create structured commands that prompt the user to select values from a predefined
list.
When the user speaks a command, the user is presented with a list of pre-defined
values for the command. Once the user selects a value, the value is inserted into the
correct location in the macro.
Structured Commands Samples
Dragon NaturallySpeaking includes several sample text and graphics commands
with variables and sample structured commands. You can import the samples into
Dragon NaturallySpeaking to use them as templates for your own commands. The
sample commands are fully commented.
Getting more information on structured commands
For more information on structured commands, including the samples location and
how to import the samples, see the online help.
Deleting custom commands
You use the Command Browser to delete commands that you have either created or
imported. By clicking the Script button, you can display and then delete these
commands.
For more information, see “Deleting a command” on page 112.
Importing and exporting commands
You can share custom commands with other users by exporting them to a file and
then having the other user import that file. If you have created several users on your
computer, this allows you to use these commands no matter which user you
currently have open.
You use the Command Browser to import and export commands. By clicking the
Manage button, you can display the commands to import and export.
For more information see “Importing and exporting commands (Professional and
higher editions)” on page 113.
