Setting up your fields
In your Auto-text content, enter square brackets to indicate a text field.
Text field Example
Blank text field – empty brackets noting a text field to be filled in Dear [],
Named text field – brackets containing a placeholder describing the text field Dear [name],
Default text – brackets containing a default value for the text field Dear [customer],
Navigating fields and specifying their values
When you insert your Auto-text into a document, you see your text fields marked by brackets.
Example:
[first] [last]
[street]
[city], [state] [zip]
[United States]
To fill in the text fields
1. Select a text field:
l Say "First input field" to jump to the first text field.
l Say "Next / previous input field" to jump between text fields.
Dragon highlights the contents of the text field, including the brackets.
2. Do one of the following:
l
Dictate the text you want to enter in its place.
Example: With [first] selected, say "James."
l Say "Accept default" to use the default value entered.
Example: With [United States] selected, say "Accept default."
Dragon replaces the contents of the text field with what you dictated (or the default text), and no longer
considers it an input field.
When you are done, the example Auto-text will look something like this:
James Smith
123 Main St.
Springfield, MA 01111
United States
