New Note Pad. Open a new empty Note Pad window.
New Command. Open the Commands window in the same state as if you had pressed the button to start creating a new command.
Open. Summon a standard File Open dialog where you can open an existing .rtf file as a Note Pad window.
Open Recent. Open a document recently edited as a Note Pad window.
Close. Close the active window (offering a chance to save if necessary).
Save a Version. Save the current Note Pad window (as an .rtf file). (This command is found only in OS X 10.7 . It is called Save in OS X 10.8.)
Duplicate. Creates a duplicate of the current Note Pad window. (To execute what used to be the Save As... command, create a duplicate of a Note Pad and then choose Save a Version -- you will be prompted to create a file name when you save it.)
Rename. Save the current Note Pad window under a new name. (This command is found only in OS X 10.8.)
Move To. Move the current Note Pad window to a new folder; you cannot change its name. (This command is found only in OS X 10.8.)
Revert Document. Reverts the current Note Pad window to an earlier version, as chosen by you. (This command is found only in OS X 10.7. It is called Revert To in OS X 10.8.)
Revert To. Revert to the last saved version or select “Browse All Versions” to select a past revision through Time Machine. (This command is found only in OS X 10.8. It is called Revert Document in OS X 10.7 .)
Print.... Print the current Note Pad document.
Save Profile. Save the currently active profile’s data. Enabled only if you have done something (such as training the voice model) to affect the active profile. The active profile is saved automatically when you activate a different profile or quit Dragon Dictate; this menu item is just a “safety valve” for those wishing to make certain that changes in the profile are not lost in case of a power failure or similar unforeseen event.
Command Import. Summon a standard File Open dialog where you can open a .commandstext file (as created by the Command Export menu item). Opening such a file will incorporate the commands it contains, so that they will appear in the Commands window and the Available Commands window.
Command Export. Summon a dialog where you can select commands to export, followed by a standard File Save dialog where you can specify a name and location to save the commands as a .commandstext file. This is an XML file, but it is not intended to be user-editable; its purpose is to be imported with the Command Import menu item. Thus you can transfer custom commands between computers and users. You will also be prompted to save those commands’ trigger terms in a separate file that will automatically have -Terms.dynamictext appended to it.
ScriptPak Import. Like Command Import, but the type of file you can open is a ScriptPak, as exported from or created for iListen, a previous speech recognition application for Mac. (iListen was developed by MacSpeech, which then created MacSpeech Dictate. Nuance acquired MacSpeech and renamed the software Dragon Dictate.)
