Working on Your Desktop

Pressing keyboard keys

You can activate Windows® menus and controls by pressing keys. With Dragon you can “press” any key on your keyboard by voice. You can press letters, numbers, modifier keys (SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT), and so on.

You can say “Press,” “Press Key,” or “Type”—all three voice commands work the same way.

NOTE: “Scratch That” will not erase keystrokes dictated with the Press Key commands. You must select the text by voice or mouse and delete it or say “Press Delete.”

Pressing letters

You can press any letter on your keyboard by saying “Press” and then the letter. When you’re pressing letters, you must say “Press” before each one. For example, to enter “txt,” say “Press t,” “Press x,” “Press t,” pausing between letters.

TIP: You can also spell words using Spell mode. See Switching recognition modes on page 119 for more information.

For similar-sounding letters (such as B, D, and V), you can use the International Communications Alphabet to spell the letter keys, for example, “Press alpha” or “Press bravo” or say “Press d as in David” or “Press d for David,” and so on) as if you were spelling to another person over the phone.
