Auto-texts
Auto-texts are standard blocks of text
Example
- You often speak to your patients about the dangers of smoking. In the report, you will say The patient was advised to quit smoking and counseled on effective smoking cessation strategies.
- You define an auto-text called 'quit smoking' that contains this information.
- You say the voice command insert quit smoking to insert the information.
Working with auto-texts
To display a list of available auto-texts, say what can I say and scroll to the Auto-texts section.
When you are recording, the application uses a keyword to identify that there is an auto-text to process. The default keyword is insert (if this does not work, contact your administrator to find out the keyword for your system). You must say the keyword and the spoken form, for example, insert quit smoking.
You can navigate to the fields in auto-texts via voice commands such as next field and go to previous field.
To use the default values and remove the field delimiters of all fields, say accept defaults. To use the default value and remove the field delimiters of the field with the focus, say field complete. If a field contains several values, separated by |, the first value will be used.
Note: After saying accept defaults, pause to ensure that the command is performed before you continue.
Managing auto-texts
All auto-texts that you created are listed in the Manage Auto-texts dialog box. You can edit existing auto-texts and add new ones.
To add an auto-text, do the following:
- Click
and select Manage Auto-texts; the corresponding dialog box is displayed.
- Click + and fill in the required fields (repeat as necessary).
- Click Apply All.
Important: For security reasons, auto-texts should not contain sensitive information, such as user names or passwords.
Spoken form
If how the auto-text name is written and how it is pronounced are very different, make sure that the Spoken form (how it is pronounced) reflects this. You can only use alphabetic characters in spoken forms. For acronyms that are spelled out use capital letters, separated by spaces.
For the spoken form, do not use:
Very short phrases (such as one syllable only)
Capital letters (except for acronyms, for example, C I A)
Abbreviations
Digits (use 'twelve' and not '12')
Punctuation marks (for example, ", !, ?, etc.)
Symbols (for example, +, -, &, $, etc.)

- You can add/edit multiple auto-texts before clicking Apply All.
- Click
to copy an existing auto-text and use it as a template for a new one. The template will have the same description and content as the one you copied; the Name and Spoken form fields will be empty.
- Click x to delete an auto-text. You can undo this action until you have clicked Apply All.
- To undo changes, copy or delete an auto-text, right-click it and select Revert Changes, Copy or Delete.
- By default, fields are indicated by square brackets. You can change the characters used as field delimiters on the General pane of the Options dialog box; any previously defined fields using different delimiters will then no longer work. Do not use {, } or | as field delimiters.
