Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
Structured Commands (definition)
Used to control the action of a command based on the existence of a state in the application
the command is used for. For example, when you assign a state to each field in a form, the
same command can perform different actions, depending on which field is activated. You can
use Advanced Scripting methods to control the states within structured commands or to set
the initial state from a non-structured command. You can also create structured commands
that prompt the user to select values from a predefined list. Structured Commands are avail-
able only in Dragon Professional, Legal, and Medical editions.
Text Control Indicator (definition)
The check mark icon that appears next to the volume meter on the DragonBar. The Text
Control Indicator changes color to show the level of dictation support in your current appli-
cation. The Text Control Indicator is green when all of Dragon's selection and dictation
capabilities are supported and gray when the insertion point is in a window that has less
support for dictation. The current Recognition mode is indicated by the icon to the right of
the check mark.
