Auto-text Commands Editor

Use the Auto-text Commands Editor to create and edit auto-text commands. 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. For more information, see Creating auto-text commands.
