MyCommands Editor—Auto-Text
Set the Command Type to Auto-Text in the MyCommands Editor to create or edit a custom command for inserting auto-text into your documents.
Auto-text is a block of content that you specify - including text, graphics, or both - for which you create a custom voice command. In your dictation, when you say the command, Dragon enters your content.
If you are using a Dragon edition where Nuance Management Center/NMS mode is enabled, your auto-text, step-by-step, and advanced scripting commands are available on each computer where you log in to Dragon.
