“Natural Language Commands” and the Command Browser

Dragon comes with large sets of commands that let you order actions directly and in a natural manner, instead

of going through menus, submenus, and dialog boxes: for instance, saying “Insert Page Break” in Microsoft

Word 2003 instead of opening the “Insert” menu, then choosing the submenu “Break”, then the option “Page

Break”.

Dragon’s Sidebar contains a sampling of these commands when they are available (and if your edition supports

them). As you will notice, Dragon’s command names tend to describe the action, starting with the verb then

the object.

 To read about the commands for a specific application, open the Help (you can say give me help or

show Help topics) or launch a Help search directly with a command such as “search Dragon Help for

Internet Explorer commands.” You can also jump to relevant Help topics directly from the Sidebar’s

hyperlinks.
