Key points about custom commands

9 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.

9 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.

9 Providing a Group name for your custom commands makes it quick and easy to locate and manage

them later. It’s also a very good idea to use the Description field to note a comment, a reminder…

9 Names for custom commands should be memorable, intuitive, easy-to-pronounce phrases. Avoid names

that could be used as dictation, such as single words.

9 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.)

9 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.

9 The Command Browser allows you to rename, modify, “clone”, delete, export and import custom

commands.
