How can I camelCase a phrase with Dragon NaturallySpeaking's advanced scripting?


From time to time, typically when coding, I would like to dictate a phrase so that it is camelCased a phrase. For example, when I dictate sentence generator I would like Dragon NaturallySpeaking to write sentenceGenerator.

How can I camelCase a phrase with Dragon NaturallySpeaking's advanced scripting?


Same question for Dragon Dictate: How can I convert a series of words into camel case in AppleScript?


Solution

  • You can use this function:

    ' CamelCases the previous <1to10> words:
    ' Voice command name: CamelCase <1to10>
