commands
This section contains information on how you can use tools in Dragon to control
access to your custom commands.
Managing and Securing Custom Commands
Makeyourcustomcommandsmoresecureintwoways:
Topreventusersfromeditingcommandfiles,convertanyXMLfilesofcommandstoDATformat.
FordetailsseeUsingtheConvertXMLtoDATtool.
TopreventanyDragon end-usersfromeditingthecommands,lockthecommandsandthenimport
them.FordetailsseeUsingtheMyCommandsProtectionUtility.
Using the Convert XML to DAT tool
YoucanuseatexteditortoeditcommandsthatareinXMLformat.ToallowonlyDragon end-user
toaccessthosecommandfiles,youcanconvertthemfromXMLformattoDATformat.Dragon
uses.datfilestostorecommands.
YoucanusetheXML to DAT tool(mycmdsxml2dat.exe)toextractend-user-definedDragon
commandsfromanXMLfile.Thetoolwritesthecommandstoa.datfile.Usethensadmin utility
ortheData Distribution Tool tomakethenew.dat filesavailabletothoseotherend-users.
Starting the Convert XML to DAT tool

Start>All Programs>Dragon NaturallySpeaking >Dragon
