I don't use the mousegrid very much. But I did find that in Edge, I could select a passage of text by doing using mousegrid twice as follows:

* First use mousegrid to put a number over the first word you want to select and say "double click." (This selects the word.)

* With a second mousegrid, put a number below or after the end of the passage, and say "shift click."

Just installed the latest Windows and now I can't seem to use the mouse grid to drag and highlight text on Edge or Internet Explorer anymore.  Oddly it still works on Google Chrome.  Anyone else having this same issue? ]]> Mon, 06 Nov 2017 20:20:55 +0000 https://www.msspeech-forum.com/latest-windows-update-1709-os-build-16299-19_topic366_post1671.html#1671 <![CDATA[New Users & General Questions : Speech Productivity WSR Add-ons]]> https://www.msspeech-forum.com/speech-productivity-wsr-addons_topic365_post1670.html#1670 Author: SpeechProductivity

Hello WSR forum users, 

I hope it is OK that I announce my Speech Productivity WSR add-ons here on the forum. It is a slimmed-down version of Speech Productivity Add-ons for Dragon NaturallySpeaking. It contains the following modules:

Quick Correct

Remove/replace multiple occurrences of words, sentences, unwanted spaces and pretty much anything else, at once with just two voice commands. This will really save you lots of time. No other WSR or Dragon add-on can do this!

Dictation Box

For speech unfriendly applications or applications that have bad recognition rate while dictating. The Speech Productivity Dictation box acts as an intermediary. Just like the one in Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Only this one loads four times as fast and works with Windows Speech Recognition.

Quick Store

Rapidly store text, URLs, email addresses and regular dictation. Any input will be saved automatically when you close the box. No more "Save as" dialogs like in Notepad or Wordpad. And most of all: no more interruption of your workflow!

If you like you can watch the introduction video for the Dragon NaturallySpeaking version. The WSR version doesn't have the Hotkey module (which is featured at the end of the video), and the command set is more basic, but apart from that, the three modules have the same functionality!

Am a new speech recognition user.

I'm setting up a Win8 PC in the bedroom for my wife to view youtube videos using Firefox.  She's never been a computer user so using speech recognition to avoid typing search info.  Ran into some initial problems:

1. After a youtube video starts playing, I say "Fullscreen" and the video goes fullscreen.  But I can't figure out how to exit fullscreen.  How can I do that?

2. Some how, the "fullscreen" command stops working and when I say "fullscreen", a firefox popup warns that multiple tabs will be closed.    Question is what speech recognition command can I use to get back to the item-1 state above?

Thanks.

So after testing this out over the weekend it works fairly well.  Found out it works better in short 1 sentence chucks rather then a longer string of text to input.  Since you cannot correct anything you say, any attempt to correct a word just results in it typing out what you were saying to attempt the correction.  Easier just to cancel and start that sentence over again.  But otherwise it seems to work just fine for what I was trying to get.

Just wanted to say thanks again for helping me get this working.  :)

So while researching the various commands I came across the Prompt command and I have been having success with this macro so far :)  Thank you for pointing me in this direction. 

<speechMacros>
<command>
    <listenFor>Chat Mode</listenFor>
    <sendKeys>{ENTER}</sendKeys>
    <waitFor seconds=".1"/>
    <prompt title="Chat Mode" resultState="...">Chat to enter</prompt>
    <insertText>{[...]}</insertText>
    <waitFor seconds=".1"/>
    <sendKeys>{ENTER}</sendKeys>
</command>
</speechMacros>

This does work, I actually did a copy paste test like this a few days ago.  It didn't work very well for me but I also didn't think about making a macro for it which might work out much better.  I will have to give that a try.  I don't have programming skills... But I do know how to.  Programming isn't my favorite thing to do heheh.  But as soon as I see an example of how they work I get it.  I will give that a try.

Something you could try is to create a multi-step macro so when you open a chat window:
Step 1 Opens Notepad
Step 2 Pauses for X seconds to allow you to dictate text
Step 3 Copies text dictated
Step 4 Closes Notepad (should take you back to cursor in chat window
Step 5 Paste (Ctrl + v)

If you have programming skills you can do this using WSRMacros. The WSRToolkit allows for multi-step macros.
