Capitalizing a letter
You can capitalize a letter by saying “Press Cap” and then the letter.
For example, to enter “28K” say “twenty eight” and then “Press Cap K” (or
“Press Cap K for Karen”).
Pressing numbers
You can press numbers (0 to 9) by saying “Press” and then the number.
For example, say “Press 8.”
Pressing key combinations
When you’re pressing keys, you can press any combination of the
modifier keys (
SHIFT
,
CTRL,
and
ALT
) at the same time as another key,
such as a letter. For example, you can say:
■
“Press Control Z” (undo)
■
“Press Alt F” (opens File menu)
■
“Press Shift Tab” (moves backward through dialog box options)
Dragon NaturallySpeaking ignores the command “Press Control Alt Delete”
(the keyboard shortcut for restarting a computer).
Pressing function and numeric keypad keys
To press a function key (
F1
to
F12
), say “Press Function” and then the
name of the key. For example, say “Press Function 1” to bring up the
online Help.
To press numeric keypad keys, say “Press Keypad” and then the name of
the key. For example, you can say “Press Keypad minus” to press the
keyboard shortcut for correction. See the complete list below:
SAY THEN
(one)
Press Keypad 1
Keypad 9
(you can say any number 0 to 9)
All Dialects: Keypad point (.)
US/Canada: Keypad period (.)
Other Dialects: Keypad full stop (.)
