Creating Macro Recorder
Commands
Before you begin, use your mouse and keyboard to run through the steps
in the procedure described below to make sure you can perform them
smoothly while you record. You may want to make notes to help you
through the steps.
If the command is application- or window-specific, be sure the correct
application or window is open and active.
To record a macro:
1
On the Tools menu of the DragonBar, click Add New Command to
open the MyCommands Editor dialog box.
2
By default, the MyCommands Text and Graphics dialog box opens.
Select Macro Recorder from the Command Type list.
3
In the MyCommand name box, enter what you will say to start the
command. Choose a phrase that is easy to remember but not likely to be
used in normal dictation. For example, you might use a name such as
“find recent files.”
4
Click Train to teach Dragon NaturallySpeaking® your pronunciation of
the command name. The Train Word dialog box displays.
5
In the Description box, enter a description that will help you identify
the command.
6
In the Group list, specify whether this command will be a Dragon
command or a User-defined command. If it is User-defined, you can
type over “User-defined” with a group name of your choosing. The new
group name will appear in the list the next time you create a command.
7
Specify whether the command will work everywhere (Global), in a
specific application which you name, or in a specific window, which you
specify.
