Chapter 4: Configuring groups and user accounts
l Normal Mode: The most flexible mode in Dragon Group is Normal Mode. In
Normal Mode, Dragon Group distinguishes dictation from commands by analyzing
what you say between pauses. Say "Start Normal Mode" or "Switch to Normal
Mode."
For more information on modes, see the Client Help.
n Enable web search commands: Select this option to make available Web search
commands that let users in the group search the Internet using commands that are
patterned on their natural speech. See Voice Shortcuts for Web Search in the Client
Help for more information.
n Enable desktop search commands: Select this option to make available Desktop
search commands that let users in the group search their Windows desktops using
commands that are patterned on their natural speech. See Voice Shortcuts for
Desktop Search in the Client Help for more information.
n Enable Email and Calendar commands: Select this option to make available
Voice Shortcuts for Email and Calendar that let users in the group control Outlook's
email and calendar functions using commands that are patterned on their normal
speech. See the Client Help for more information.
n Enable cut shortcut commands, Enable delete shortcut commands, Enable
copy shortcut commands: Select these options to enable the Cut, Copy and
Delete Quick Voice Formatting Commands. Delete and Copy are enabled by
default.
n Variable delimiters: By default the group level setting applies.
The variable delimiters are used by Text and Graphics/auto-text commands that
incorporate Voice (variable) Fields. Voice Fields are variable fields where the user
can later type or dictate a specific value.
By default, Text and Graphics/auto-text Voice commands use the square bracket [ ]
characters to indicate the presence of a variable field. To change the variable
delimiting characters, specify a character for the left and right delimiters.
The delimiting "characters" can each be up to 5 characters long. The left and right
delimiters cannot be exactly the same as each other or, when you try to apply them,
the Dragon Group displays a message that they are not valid.
Caution: Nuance recommends you set the delimiting characters once and
never change them, because if, for instance, you use square brackets in
several Text and Graphics/auto-text commands, then change the delimiting
characters to */ and /*, the Text and Graphics/auto-text commands that are
using the square brackets then fail because the Client looks for variables
only between */ and /*, not between [ and ].
For more information about using variables with Text and Graphics/auto-text
commands, see the Client Help.
n Enable natural language commands: This series of four options enables the
users in the group to use Natural Language commands with the applications
