Dragon Dictate has sets of commands that it makes available only when a particular application is frontmost. These commands are tailored to the specific menus and features of each application.
It also keeps the list of available commands from becoming too long, since application-based commands are turned off when not needed. (You can access them in the Commands window, to edit them; but you can’t use them.) This is good for you, because the Available Commands window remains manageable. It’s also good for Dragon Dictate, because it limits the number of possible commands against which Dragon Dictate must try to match what you say.
Dragon Dictate comes with application-based command sets for the following applications:
You can also create your own application-based commands in the Commands window.
