I want to make a simple command that takes a screenshot by sending a keypress of the "print screen" button on the keyboard.

But when I make a new command in Dragon, and then try to send the "print screen" button is a keystroke, Dragon does not recognize that key.

How can I include pressing that button in a custom Dragon command?

Thank you

Thank you. So this is something I will put in a "Advanced Scripting" type of command?

 

I tried it, and I'm not getting any response... My code looks like this.

 

Sub Main

SendDragonKeys "{PrtSc}"

End Sub

 

It does seem to be successfully registering as a command rather than dictation text, because now when I say "screenshot" it does not type the text.

Any ideas? Thanks

When on the screen you want to print, just say, "Press Alt-print-screen."

Cheers

I have an identical command called "take a picture" that works nicely.

Tiger Feet's approach is most elegant. Instead of creating custom commands, say "press print screen" (to capture the entire screen) or "press Alt print screen" (to capture the focused window.)
