Advanced Commands
Mastering the following commands can make dictation a truly hands-free experience.
Navigation
Use navigation commands to move through text fields and templates without touching your keyboard.
Go to Beginning – Moves the cursor to the beginning of the current text field.
Go to End – Moves the cursor to the end of the current text field.
Next Field – Moves the cursor to the next available text field.
Previous Field – Moves the cursor to the previous text field.
Press Tab Key – Sends a Tab keystroke, which may move the cursor to the next field depending on your EHR.
Support for the Next Field, Previous Field, and Press Tab Key commands depends on how your EHR handles keyboard navigation.
Selection
Voice Commands can select text for editing without using a keyboard or mouse.
Select Previous Word – Selects the word immediately before the cursor.
Select Next Word – Selects the word immediately after the cursor.
Select Remaining Text – Selects all text between the cursor and the end of the current text field.
Select All – Selects all text in the current text field.
Select [phrase] – Selects a specific phrase (up to four words) if it exists in the current text field.
Select [x] to [y] – Selects all text between the specified words, including those words.
For example, saying "Select headache to nausea" selects all text between those words, including the words themselves.
To clear a selection, say:
Deselect That
Deselect All
