The restricted command set
When you are dictating into a recorder, most of the Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
voice commands cannot be used effectively because
they require that you see the results on a computer screen. The
restricted command set, however, can be used without visual feedback
when you are dictating into your recorder. These are the commands in
the restricted command set:
New Paragraph
New Line
Ta b K e y
Cap [word]
All Caps [word]
No Caps [word]
No Space [word]
Caps On/Caps Off
All Caps On/All Caps Off
No Caps On/No Caps Off
No Space On/No Space Off
Scratch That
Resume With
Resume With is particularly useful when you are using a recorder. It lets you
return to where you want to go within a recording if you misspeak or change your mind
after dictating a phrase. For more information, see Going back as you dictate on page
47.
Later, when you transcribe your recorded dictation, you can choose to
make Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
ignore all commands except the
restricted command set. This prevents potentially damaging recognition
errors (for example, a phrase being incorrectly interpreted as the
command “Delete Previous 5 Paragraphs,” which would actually delete
the previous five paragraphs from your transcription). For more
information on how to do this, see the “The Advanced Settings dialog
box” on page 191.
