Open the original- What it measures
- Google's table of editing commands is split in two. The first table covers the original commands, and a later section lists newer commands that let you use several phrases for one action. The limit applies to that newer section.
- What it does not show
- The page does not say whether the original commands in the first table work in every language that Dictation supports. Check the language list on your own Chromebook before relying on a command.
