These phrases are called "voice commands," or just "commands." Following is a list of the most popular Dragon NaturallySpeaking commands. For a complete list, see Appendix B of your Dragon NaturallySpeaking User's Guide. Dragon ® ` ( ' ) [ < ] > To make commands work: s { @ # $ % ^ & * :-) } + = ` ~ _ | :-( Don't pause in the middle of saying a command. If the command is "Scratch That," for example, don't pause between the words "scratch" and "that." Do pause briefly before saying the command. The pause lets Dragon NaturallySpeaking know that the phrase may be a command. What if I say a command, but it's typed as dictation? If you pause correctly, but Dragon NaturallySpeaking still types your command as dictation, you can force it to recognize what you say as a command by holding down the CTRL key while you speak. What if I dictate text, but it's interpreted as a command? If you dictate text, but Dragon NaturallySpeaking interprets your words as commands, you can force it to type your words as dictation by holding down the SHIFT key while you speak.
