Commands recognized as text
ViaVoice processes your words as dictation until you pause, and then it starts
to listen for you to say a command. ViaVoice understands the commands that
you can see in the All Commands view at the What Can I Say window. If you
have selected a command set, ViaVoice will process the word as a
command—not dictation—whenever you pause before and after saying the
word. You can also use the word in regular dictation—but do not insert a
pause.

For example, suppose you wanted to dictate the sentence "It is important to
use the open quote file save close quote option regularly"

slightly before the word 'file', ViaVoice would interpret it as a command, and
the File menu would be pulled down! If you equally paused before the word
'save', the file would be saved.
