Key points about custom commands

You can quickly create custom commands to insert blocks of text and/or graphics in your documents. 

This is done in the tool MyCommands Editor, which you can bring up by saying add new command.

If the boilerplate text already exists in an electronic document, you can copy and paste it into the 

MyCommands Editor’s Content box, or say make that a shortcut.

Providing a Group name for your custom commands makes it quick and easy to locate and manage 

them later. It’s also a very good idea to use the Description field to note a comment, a reminder…

Names for custom commands should be memorable, intuitive, easy-to-pronounce phrases. Avoid names 

that could be used as dictation, such as single words.

The Name Editor lets you add <variables> in command names, to provide synonyms or variations (using 

lists you define yourself, or existing lists such as 1to10.)

In the Professional and Legal editions, you can add fillable [Fields] to your boilerplate commands to 

create “DragonTemplates” which can be navigated and filled out by voice.

The Command Browser allows you to rename, modify, “clone”, delete, export and import custom 

commands.
