9 C H A P T E R Hands-Free Computing Speech recognition is useful not only for creating documents. You can control almost everything on your computer with Dragon NaturallySpeaking® voice commands. This chapter tells you how. If you have problems that limit typing, learn and practice with the commands in this chapter. If you are able to type, using voice commands is a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer to select menu commands and buttons with the keyboard and mouse. Others enjoy the convenience of telling the computer to "Close Window" or "Click OK." The voice commands detailed in this chapter work in many programs. If the program you're running uses "standard" menus and dialog boxes, Dragon NaturallySpeaking® will let you activate the menus and controls by voice, even if Dragon NaturallySpeaking® has never seen the program before. TIP If you are navigating and controlling your computer by voice, it is sometimes useful to force Dragon NaturallySpeaking® to recognize only commands, not dictation. To do this, say "Command Mode On." This will prevent Dragon NaturallySpeaking® from misrecognizing a command as a dictation word. For more information on modes, see page 80. NOTE If you are using Microsoft® Windows® NT® version 4, you will need Service Pack 6 or later in order to be able to use most of the voice commands described in this chapter. If you are using Microsoft® Windows® NT® 4 with a Service Pack lower than 6, then you will not have Active Accessibility installed on your system and an error message will appear. However, pressing keys by voice (page 109), and moving the mouse by voice (page 115) will work regardless of what Microsoft® Windows ® NT® Service Pack you have.
