Did you know that by holding down the Shift key, you could force Dragon to recognize what you said as a dictation rather than a command?
This is particularly useful for words that are in your Dragon Custom Command list or in a given program's menu. Here's an example of where this functionality is valuable.
A provider speaks the phrase "Stress fracture of the femoral neck in a patient with <pause> open <pause> capital femoral epiphyses".
Since the provider paused briefly before and after the word open, this ended up triggering a related "Open" command. By pressing the shift key while speaking this phrase, it forces Dragon to recognize the phrase as dictation only.
