Chapter 11: Working with Text and Graphics/auto-texts and custom words
Important: When defining Text and Graphics/auto-texts, it is strongly recommended that
you give it a distinctive name that cannot be misinterpreted as speech to be recognized. This
helps to ensure that the Text and Graphics/auto-texts is correctly inserted.
Text and Graphics/auto-texts enable a user to say a command that inserts text (in Rich Text
Format (RTF)) into a form with multiple fields, a document in a text editor such as Microsoft
Word, or a single line text field. The text can be plain text or formatted text. A sequence of
keystrokes is a custom command rather than Text and Graphics/auto-texts. For this
discussion, we refer to the inserted text or data as 'auto-text content'.
In the Nuance Management Center, an administrator creates Text and Graphics/auto-texts
and associates each Text and Graphics/auto-texts with 'auto-text content'. Afterwards, a
user can say the name of the Text and Graphics/auto-texts to insert the associated 'auto-text
content' at the cursor position. For example, an administrator creates Text and
Graphics/auto-texts called “normal chest” and associates it with the text "PA and lateral
views of the chest revealed a normal-sized heart." When a user says “insert”, the associated
text is inserted at the cursor location.
When an administrator creates Text and Graphics/auto-texts, they should choose a name
for the Text and Graphics/auto-texts that is easy to remember; and pronounce, and that
reflects the 'auto-text content' that is associated with the Text and Graphics/auto-texts.
For more information about how to use Text and Graphics/auto-texts, see your product's s
user documentation.
Administrators associate Text and Graphics/auto-texts with sites, groups and users. If Text
and Graphics/auto-texts with the same name exist on more than one level (site, group, or
user) in an organization, the lower level settings override the higher level settings. For
example, Text and Graphics/auto-texts settings at the user level override Text and
Graphics/auto-texts settings at the group level.
