Key points about controlling your computer by voice
You can open an application (or desktop item) by saying start or open immediately followed by the
name of the application (or item). You may want to provide easy names for these items.
You can switch between windows with commands like switch to DragonPad, switch to next window.
To click menus, buttons, and other controls, you can “say what you see (you can choose to say “click”
right before, or not.)
You can “voice-press” any key by saying press or type followed by the name of the key.
Dragon 10 offers commands to search your computer for items containing the keyword(s) you specify
(these commands take advantage of the indexing done by software like Google Desktop, which must be
running on your computer). For instance, to find all indexed e-mails containing the words “Canada”
and “budget”, you can say search email for Canada budget.
