What is the command for opening up the "Dictation Box" in WSR? I have tried saying "Open the Dictation Box", "Open Dictation Box" or just simply "Dictation Box" and none of those work. Cheers Andy |

Hi, I am in a bit of a dilemma. I read all about the dictation scratchpad in WSR. The problem I have is that if I say "Enable the Dictation Scratchpad" (which apparently is the command that triggers it as shown in show speech options >options menu), it interferes with another macro I have which sounds similar to that. Is there a way of changing the name of the command for this macro? If so, how? I have another macro which is called "Enable Dragon" which, when triggered, turns off WSR and turns on Dragon from an off position. Unfortunately, when I say "Enable the Dictation Scratchpad", it sounds similar and it shuts down WSR but does not turn on Dragon so both speech apps are in the off position and being a quadriplegic, there is nothing I can do. Then I have to call someone to turn one of the speech apps on so I can continue. Am I using the dictation scratchpad rightly or does it work in a different way to what I am trying to achieve? I have it checked on the show speech options >options menu. Does it only come into use when there is no way you can dictate WSR into an application and then it does the business? It is not imperative that I have this working but I was just intrigued seeing as it was included with Windows 7. If it is going to interfere with my other macros, then I may just as well open WordPad or Notepad to achieve the same goal. Hopefully, you'll be able to explain to me how it works? Yes, I have read the overview you posted Marty. Cheers andy t Edited by andy t - 15/Nov/2010 at 10:53am |

Easy. Right click the blue oval Windows Speech Recognition Macros icon in the lower right Taskbar. Choose Edit Speech Macro. Highlight the macro you want to rename and right click and select Rename. Type in the new name and make sure it ends in .WSRMac
However, I think you may really mean, how to change the trigger word(s) for the macro? If so, open the macro in Notepad. look for the line beginning <listenFor>xxxxxxxxx</listenFor> and rename the trigger word (the xxxxx) to something distinct and different. For example I have:
<listenFor>apply payment</listenFor>
if it conflicted with a command I might rename it:
<listenFor>post payment</listenFor>
Try renaming Enable Dragon to Enable NaturallySpeaking.
I guess I only use standard programs as the Scatchpad has never popped up for me. I still have an "Open Dictation Box" macro created when using Vista WSR. It is below my name and you are free to copy it as it should work in Windows 7.

2. You can have a dictation box pop up in non compliant Windows.
