The Dragon Glossary
Microsoft Excel, you would say "Insert," and then say the name of any of the available com-
mands, as required. Another example is the ability to open a Desktop item (a folder, for
instance), by saying “open” followed immediately by its name.
Scripting (definition)
Dragon scripting language extensions provide a set of tools for creating voice commands.
Creating scripting commands requires familiarity with the Microsoft Visual Basic pro-
gramming language.
Section 508 certified (definition)

Unknown text field (definition)
An editable window or field that does not support all of Dragon's selection and correction
capabilities. When the cursor is positioned in an unknown text field, the DragonBar displays
the message "Unknown text field; consider using 'show Dictation Box' - See Help.'" In
those cases, Dragon's Full Text Control indicator, the colored ball next to the volume meter
on the DragonBar, is grey. You can usually select, correct, and use various commands in
unknown text fields, but if you have trouble, use the Dictation Box and transfer text from it
into the application.
Windows shortcut (definition)
You can use Windows Shortcuts and command lines to open User Profiles and Vocabularies
directly.
Spell Command (definition)
Delete this text and replace it with your own content.
Spell Mode (definition)
A restricted recognition mode that causes Dragon to recognize only letters, numbers, com-
mands, and punctuation. Spell mode is useful for dictating unpronounceable alphanumeric
strings, such as part numbers and license plate numbers, and other terms you anticipate
Dragon won’t know, such as Web addresses, words in a foreign language, or unusual prod-
uct names. Say "Start Spell Mode" or "Spell Mode On." You can still use commands while
in Spell Mode.
Spoken Form (definition)
Refers to words that are spoken one way but written a different way (the Written Form).
This feature lets you add a word that, for example, types your phone number whenever you
say “phone number line,” or automatically adds punctuation, such as "UK" or "USA," which
would normally include punctuation in the written forms (U.K. and U.S.A.).
