To maximize your efficiency, watch the video once for an initial overview. Then, refer back to this guide for a detailed breakdown of the commands and techniques employed. We'll cover the essential features of Dragon NaturallySpeaking in the context of blogging:
1. Navigating the Blogger Interface:
Dragon NaturallySpeaking's "Click Box" command is your key to navigating Blogger's interface. This command labels the different boxes on your web page, allowing you to control them with your voice. Simply say "Choose " followed by the number assigned to the box you want to interact with. For example, to access the Title or Body sections of your blog, you would use "Choose " after Dragon NaturallySpeaking labels them accordingly.
2. Mastering Text Formatting:
Effortlessly format your text using Dragon NaturallySpeaking. There are three primary approaches:
Keyboard Shortcuts: Utilize the familiar keyboard shortcuts for formatting by saying "Press Control " followed by the letter corresponding to the action. For instance, say "Press Control U" to underline text or "Press Control I" for italics. You can also replace the letter with its military alphabet equivalent; for example, instead of "Control I," you could say "Press Control India."
Click Button: This command allows you to click buttons in the formatting bar. Say "Click Button" and then use "Choose " to select the specific button you want to activate (e.g., bold, italic, heading styles).
3. Inserting Links:
Adding links is effortless with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Similar to formatting buttons, say "Click Link" followed by "Choose " to select the link icon in the formatting bar. This brings up a dialogue box where you can input the website address.
User-Defined Commands: For frequently used links, you can create user-defined commands in Dragon NaturallySpeaking. This eliminates the need to dictate long URLs. Learn more about creating user-defined commands in our previous blog posts.
Copy and Paste: To insert links from other sources, utilize the familiar keyboard shortcuts: "Press Control C" for copying and "Press Control V" for pasting.
4. Adding Images:
Dragon NaturallySpeaking streamlines image insertion. Click on the image icon in the formatting bar by saying "Click Button" followed by "Choose ." This opens a dialogue box where you can select an image from your computer or uploaded images within Blogger. You can navigate and choose the image simply by saying its name.
5. Embedding YouTube Videos:
Embedding YouTube videos into your blog posts is a breeze. Navigate to the HTML code of your blog post by using "Click Box" and selecting the HTML editor. Then, go to the YouTube video you want to embed and copy the embed code (usually located under "Share"). Use the keyboard shortcuts "Press Control C" to copy and "Press Control V" to paste the HTML code into your blog post.
6. Utilizing Blog Options:
Dragon NaturallySpeaking simplifies the process of managing blog options. Simply say the options you want to access, such as "Publish," "Save," or "Preview." For options with sub-menus, navigate by speaking the label of the desired sub-option. Alternatively, use "Click Button" or "Click Link" to select sub-options as you did for formatting and links.
