Import and export commands

Whether you have a new computer, use Dragon on multiple devices, or want to share custom commands with a colleague, importing and exporting commands can be a useful tool.

To begin importing or exporting commands, open the Commands windows by clicking the icon in the menu bar and selecting Manage Commands…

Exporting commands

Click the icon at the top of the Commands window and select Export Commands… In the Command Export window, check the context(s) you want to export, or click the arrow next to a context to view and select individual commands.

You should see a message from Dragon confirming that the commands export was successful.
