2. This list includes all global MacSpeech Dictate commands available in MacSpeech Dictate version 1.5.8 and which are mentioned ineither the documentation or the included AppleScript commands list. I have explained commands only where necessary, and tried togroup the commands roughly by function.In general, the more dictation-focussed commands are listed rst, the ones which control how the operation of MacSpeech Dictateitself, and the application-focussed commands afterwards but because of the way dictation works, the distinction between the twosets is fuzzy at best.This document includes only Global commands - ones you can use in any application. It does not include Application Speciccommands which exist for Mail, Finder, Safari, iChat, iCal, and TextEdit. These can be viewed in the Tools > Commands windowwithin MacSpeech Dictate if you are interested.Understanding This DocumentThis is a commandMost commands are written like that, just say exactly whats written. Where the output is not obvious, explanatory text is in italics likethis. Things in italics are never commands.This is a command [with an optional section]Commands set out like this will work with or without the section in square brackets, say either one. Sometimes the command has adifferent effect with the optional section, which should be obvious from the command itself.This is a command with one/two/three optionsWith commands set like this you select the appropriate option from the one/two/three section, so the command here could be Thisis a command with one options, This is a command with two options, and This is a command with three options.NoteThis list is produced by Ricky Buchanan of ATMac http://atmac.org/.
