Starting programs
You can use voice commands to start a program that appears anywhere on
your Windows Start menu or desktop. You can’t start Dragon
NaturallySpeaking by voice, because the program has to be running
before it can hear you.
Starting a program from the Start menu
To start a program from the Start menu, say “Start” and then the name of
the program exactly as it appears on the menu or submenu (it doesn’t
have to be visible). For example, to start Internet Explorer, say “Start
Internet Explorer.”
To start a program:
1 Make sure Dragon NaturallySpeaking is running and the microphone is
on.
2 Say “Start” and then the name of the program. For example, say “Start
WordPad.”
To start certain Windows utilities, you must open and navigate the Start menu
(see “Opening and closing menus” on page 107). These utilities are Shut Down, Log Off,
Help, Run, Favorites, Find, and Settings.
Starting a program from the Windows desktop
To start a program on your Windows desktop, just say “Start” and then
the name below the icon. For example, to start Internet Explorer, say
“Start Internet Explorer.”
