Disclaimer: The auto-text command feature is not designed for the use of PHI, PII, or credentials. Using the auto-text command for such purposes is strictly prohibited.

Auto-Text commands are custom voice commands you can create to insert specific content into a document. Auto-Text can include text and graphics.

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. Your macro recorder commands are available only on the computer where you created them. Your Auto-Text commands are available only to you.

Do not include private or sensitive information in Auto-Text commands. This information is visible to anyone who might execute the command.

Optional? Yes
Typical usage
  • If you write a lot of business letters, use an Auto-Text command to insert your address and company logo.
  • If your work involves creating reports in a certain format, use an Auto-Text command to insert a template of details you need to include.
  • If you frequently generate appointment notices that require you to specify a date, time, and location, you can create an Auto-Text command with variable fields for those details, and even include prompts and default values.
Where to configure
  • To create a simple Auto-Text command, from the DragonBar, select Tools>Command Center>Add New Auto-Text and enter the details in the Auto-Text Editor dialog.
  • To create a more complex Auto-Text command, go to the DragonBar and select Tools>Command Center>Add New Command and enter the details in the MyCommands Editor.
