How To Set Up Dragon Dictate 4 For Mac

Despite with Dragon Dictate, the application remains the only Mac program for triggering powerful and time-saving voice commands on the Mac. As I explained before,. And even when the upcoming Siri command features are released in the, it looks if as Dragon Dictate will still be able to handle tons more commands than Siri. To explain how powerful DD voice commands are, I’ve created a list of my 101 favorite Mac commands. DD comes with built-in voice commands, but nearly all the commands listed below are my custom commands. Honestly, I use the voice commands more than I use text diction, though the latter does come in handy for various purposes, such journal writing and editing documents.

I also use the (Amazon affiliate link), and I typically keep DD activated throughout the day as I work alone in my office. The noise cancelling TableMike allows for playing music in the background while using DD for dictating text and issuing Mac commands. The words in italics indicate the command I use to assigned actions. Items with. indicate commands mapped to a, and items with. indicate commands mapped to a.

To map a Keyboard Maestro macro, you simply copy the script created for the KM macro, and then paste it in an DD action. For BTT actions, you assign a to a BTT action, and then use that shortcut for setting up a DD action. All the other commands are based on triggering keyboard shortcuts or application menus to voice command actions. You can also base custom commands on bookmarks, files and folders, shell scripts, workflows, AppleScript scripts, and application launches. Likewise, you can issue the command, “Activate name of application” and DD will launch that application. Bakari – thanks for your response.

But now I have a new conundrum – in Naturally Speaking, I am able to map the “Next Field” command to a button on my Philips LFH3500. The Mac version, with Philips SpeechControl program, does not allow this, to my knowledge. Unfortunately the mappable commands are a far smaller group. Is their a way to circumvent this? Clicking the button is an even more efficient way of moving through a macro/template than speaking “Next Field” with every step.

Thanks in advance!!!
