# Twitter/Facebook Commands

You can use Dragon Dictate to post updates to your Facebook and Twitter accounts using the Sharing feature of OS X. You need to have your Facebook and Twitter accounts set up in System Preferences to use this feature. You'll find this in either the Mail, Contacts & Calendars pane (OS X 10.8) or the Internet Accounts pane (in OS X 10.9).

If you dictate text, such as This Is a Test, and then speak the command Post That to Facebook, the OS X sharing window appears. You can continue dictating text before speaking the command Press Share. If you don’t want to post that text to Facebook, say Press Cancel or Click Cancel.

Say Post That to Twitter to bring up the Twitter dialog box then Press Tweet to send the tweet through your Twitter account. To cancel, say Press Cancel or Click Cancel to rescind the post.

The Facebook and Twitter functions also allow you to select part of a piece of text and share or tweet it. You can say Select This Is A Test and then speak a Twitter or Facebook command.

You can also go directly to the Share on Facebook or Share on Twitter dialog box by speaking Post to Facebook More Snow or Post to Twitter More Snow, or by simply saying Post to Facebook or Post to Twitter, which will bring up an empty dialog window.

There are other variations on the Facebook and Twitter commands. Saying That with a command uses the currently-selected text, or the last recognized text.
