Using the Dictation Box

You can use the dictation box by simply placing the cursor within the box and dictating. The dictation box is an ordinary textbox; all voice commands work within it.

Once you are done, you can click Copy to copy it to the clipboard and then paste it into the appropriate textbox.

There are two voice commands to make this easier:

copy box - Copies the contents of the Dictation Box to the clipboard paste that - Pastes the content in the clipboard at the cursor location
