For instance, in numbers mode Dragon only expects spoken numbers and no ordinary dictation can be done. You are changing the way Dragon interprets what you’re saying. GENERAL commands – includes very general operation of the microphone like “ wake up” and “ microphone off” and asking for help from Dragon by saying “ what can I say“.ĭICTATION commands – these are the well-known commands like “SWITCH to spell, numbers, commands, dictation, normal MODE “.

In accordance with Dragon NaturallySpeaking’s own user manuals, we may find it useful to separate between: These are inbuilt commands in Dragon NaturallySpeaking which addresses the different ways you can use Dragon by voice to do something on your computer. Nuance themselves uses the concept of “ productivity enhancement commands“. It is also useful to look into how Dragon NaturallySpeaking or Nuance themselves think about the different types of commands. I use a lot of text commands and step-by-step commands which can help a lot but when you can write your own scripts, possibilities opens up even more.

However, I’m afraid in order to make your own scripts from scratch you need the professional version. In the premium version I think you can do macro recording and step by step commands. I’m using Dragon NaturallySpeaking professional version 11 were all possibilities are available, but I think you can make text commands in any version. It is very easy to make your own text command which displays a text string like for instance your name and address. For a very basic introduction it it can be useful to watch for instance this video:

I think this is well explained by others, as in the user manual for Dragon.

It is also useful to look at how the commands are constructed in order to understand and be inspired to develop your own.įirst of all, there is already a lot of basic information on the Internet about how to make your own commands using the Command Browser. It is also possible to expand the usage of Dragon a lot by taking the commands already built into Dragon, make a copy of them and do some changes to adopt the commands to your special needs.

This often demands some knowledge of the scripting capabilities in Dragon, but not necessarily. I’m not going to do a comprehensive tutorial or something like that, but rather dive into some of the possibilities I find interesting. Hopefully, readers of this blog will have expertise and knowledge about command development which will improve the quality of this site. I hope to start a discussion “ how to make useful commands“, “ what would be nice to have“, “ what is actually possible” and so forth. This is a important realization fueling the motivation for writing these episodes.
#DRAGON NATURALLY SPEAKING COMMANDS FOR WORD SOFTWARE#
Even though the software is brilliant as it is delivered out-of-the-box, the command development and scripting capabilities in the professional versions carries along a potential for improving the applicability of the software substantially. As a matter of fact I have gotten so accustomed to using my own commands that I actually find it inconvenient to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking without them. This has gradually led me to explore more of the possibilities the software can provide. I’m certainly not an expert, but I have found it very useful to develop specific commands in order to make it easier for myself to do work. I will rather write it like an personal account of how I have approached the issue.ĭuring my use of Dragon NaturallySpeaking over several years I have accumulated some basic experiences of developing custom commands. It is not meant to be a comprehensive guide addressing all possible features.
#DRAGON NATURALLY SPEAKING COMMANDS FOR WORD SERIES#
I wanted to write a series of episodes about my experiences with making custom commands in Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Speech recognition is not available in Norwegian to this date, but several people in Norway have taken benefit of using the English version. I have posted this episode previously, in November last year, in a Norwegian forum for speech recognition. I will start by going straight to a subject which will be a major focus on this site: commands development in Dragon NaturallySpeaking. This is the first blog post of this blog.
