Creating custom commands
A custom command is a voice command that you create to allow Dragon to perform an action. If you are using a Dragon edition where Nuance Management Center/NMS mode is enabled, Dragon makes your Auto-Text, step-by-step, and advanced scripting commands available on each computer where you log in to Dragon. Your macro recorder commands are available only on the computer where you created them.
Do not include secure information, such as credit card numbers or passwords, in your custom commands.
