The mouse grid mode is an exclusive mode. It is made active by the "mouse grid" command in the "basic" mode. It is used to move and click the mouse. When initiated, a numbered grid appears on the screen. You say one of the numbers, and the grid zooms in to the selected cell. The mouse position is placed at the middle of the grid. Continue this process until the mouse is where you want it. Then use the commands in this mode to click or cancel.

| _default | If no other command is matched, this default command is used. This command assumes you are saying a number to choose a grid cell. If you say a number larger than 9, the individual digits are supplied as arguments one at a time. For example, if you say one hundred twenty three, it will be treated as selecting cell 1, then cell 2, then cell 3. If an utterance word does not match a command or a number, it is ignored. |
