Key points about custom commands
In the higher editions, you can quickly create custom commands to insert blocks of text and/or graphics in
your documents. This is done in the tool MyCommands Editor, which you can bring up by saying add
new command.
If the boilerplate text already exists in an electronic document, you can copy and paste it into the
MyCommands Editor’s Content box, or say make that a shortcut.
It’s a very good idea to use the Description field to note a comment, a reminder…
Names for custom commands should be memorable, intuitive, easy-to-pronounce phrases. Avoid names
that could be used as dictation, such as single words.
The Name Editor lets you add <variables> in command names, to provide synonyms or variations (using
lists you define yourself, or existing lists such as <1to10>).
In the Professional and Legal editions, you can add fillable [Fields] to your boilerplate commands to
create “DragonTemplates” which can be navigated and filled out by voice.
In the Professional and Legal editions, the Command Browser allows you to rename, modify, clone,
delete, export and import custom commands.
