[MV] DNS on Mac on Parallels

Jonathan (and everyone else):

I did a little digging and those who are more familiar with using DNS  
than I say that the trade off for using commands embedded in  
dictation mode is that the commands tend to be very carefully worded  
- and not always very intuitive - in order to insure they are not mis- 
recognized as dictation. (I alluded to this in an earlier email, but  
have since had it confirmed by others.) Having a command mode means  
that the command name itself can be much more natural and easier to  
remember.

As I said, you can always say "One Shot Command" which throws you  
into Command mode for one command, and then immediately takes you  
back to Dictation mode.



Best Regards,
