CHAPTER 9 Hands-Free Computing Hands-free tips Here are some more tips on how to best work by voice if you have limited use of your hands. s For some people, clicking the mouse button by hand is very uncomfortable, but moving the mouse by hand is easier. In this case, move the mouse by hand but click the mouse using the voice commands "Mouse Click," "Mouse Right Click," and "Mouse Double Click." s When using MouseGrid™, you can still say mouse motion commands. This makes it convenient to position the mouse using the grid, then start a drag operation from there. s The command "Start" starts programs and documents on any level of the Windows® Start menu. s If you have no or minimal hand use, set Dragon NaturallySpeaking® so that the microphone is on (sleeping) when the program starts. For instructions on how to do this, see the Startup/Shutdown tab of the Options dialog box, described on page 200. s To move around the Start menu, the Windows® desktop, and many other parts of the computer, use the "Move" commands. You can say "Move Up 4," for example, which acts like pressing the up arrow key four times. You can say "Move Up," "Move Down," "Move Right," and "Move Left," plus a number between 1 and 20. You must say a number to make this command work. s In the Windows® Start menu, the "Move" commands are the easiest way to activate Shut Down, Logoff, Help, Run, Find, and Settings. For example, to use Find, say "Click Start," "Move Up 5," then "Press Enter Key" (if, on your computer, Find is the fifth item from the bottom of the Start Menu). s Create custom commands to automate tasks that you do repeatedly. See "Automate Your Work" on page 123. (Available in Preferred edition only.) s Set up Dragon NaturallySpeaking® to start automatically when Windows® starts. NOTE You can also use Natural Language Commands to shut down your computer, including "Shut Down Windows," "Restart Windows," "Reboot The Computer," "Log Off Windows," and more.
