Using Custom Voice Commands in Voice In

Custom voice commands lets you correct common dictation errors, for example: one user reported that due to her accent, when she says "new line" to insert a new line, it always gets dictated as "Uline". She can correct this error by adding a voice command mapping "Uline" => "<newline>". So next time she says "new line", it will actually trigger the new line voice command.

Custom voice commands are also used to simplify common tasks. For example, a sales person would map "thank you message" =>
"Thank you for purchasing from XYZ Store.

Thanks,
ABC"

Another example, a doctor who is doing a general checkup of a patient would map "checkup text" =>
"General/Constitutional:
overall health: unchanged
Chills: denies
Fever: denies
Night sweats: denies

ENT:
Clogging in the ear: denies
Ear pain: denies
Nose/throat problems: denies
Sore throat: denies

Respiratory:
Cough: denies
Hemoptysis: denies
Shortness of breath: denies
Wheezing: denies"

This saves time with having to copy paste this block of text before every consultation.
