Pressing keyboard keys
You can activate Windows ® menus and controls by pressing keys. With Dragon
NaturallySpeaking you can “press” any key on your keyboard by voice. You can
press letters, numbers, modifier keys (
SHIFT , CTRL, and ALT ), and so on.
You can say “Press,” “Press Key,” or “Type”—all three voice commands work the same

“Scratch That” will not erase keystrokes dictated with the Press Key commands. You must
select the text by voice or mouse and delete it or say “Press Delete.”
Pressing letters
