Using Cursor Commands in Dragon NaturallySpeaking Software
Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a powerful speech recognition tool, but navigating the cursor using voice commands can be tricky if you’re unfamiliar with its features. To help users, here’s a clear guide to using the Move Command for cursor navigation.
The Move Command: Basics
The Move Command lets you control the cursor’s position in various directions with ease. It follows this simple three-word structure:
- Move
- Direction (Up, Down, Left, Right)
- Number (1–20)
Example:
- Saying “Move Down 11” is equivalent to pressing the down arrow key 11 times.
Moving By Units: Words or Paragraphs
If you need more specific navigation, such as moving by words or paragraphs, add a unit to the command. Use the following structure:
- Move
- Direction (Back, Forward)
- Number (1–20)
- Unit (Words, Paragraphs)
Examples:
- “Move Back Five Words”
- “Move Forward Four Paragraphs”
This allows precise control for editing or navigating large documents.
Direction Rules:
The direction depends on the unit you’re working with:
- For Words or Characters, use Left or Right as directions.
- For Lines or Paragraphs, use Up or Down as directions.
For instance:
- “Move Left Five Characters” shifts the cursor five characters to the left.
- “Move Up Two Lines” moves the cursor up two lines.
Summary of Commands
- To move by characters or words, use Left or Right.
- To move by lines or paragraphs, use Up or Down.
This flexibility allows you to navigate documents seamlessly.
