I am having problems dictating to a Word document. Everything I say, including punctuation activates the alternates screen. I am running Office 2000, could this be the problem?? Dictation in Notepad is OK. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

If upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office/Word is not an option, below is a macro for dictating into Word Pad (say, "Open dictation box") and when finished, say "post dictation." This should put the text into Word if the cursor was in Word when you initiated the macro.

<!-- dictation box --> <command> <listenFor>open dictation box</listenFor>
<run command="wordpad.exe" params=""/> </command>
<!-- post dictation --> <command> <listenFor>post dictation</listenFor>
<sendKeys>{{CTRL}}a</sendKeys>
<waitFor seconds=".25"/> <sendKeys>{{CTRL}}c</sendKeys> <waitFor seconds=".25"/> <!-- switch to non-SR app -->
<sendKeys>{{ALT}}{TAB}</sendKeys> <waitFor seconds=".5"/> <sendKeys>{{CTRL}}v</sendKeys> <waitFor seconds=".25"/> <!-- switch back and clear -->
<sendKeys>{{ALT}}{TAB}</sendKeys> <waitFor seconds=".5"/> <sendKeys>{{CTRL}}a{250 WAIT}{DELETE}</sendKeys> <sendKeys>{{ALT}}f</sendKeys> <sendKeys>x</sendKeys> <sendKeys>n</sendKeys> </command>

Thanks for that Marty. Would it be possible to dictate into Notepad and then insert it into Word??

The way to accomplish simple tasks is to use the WSRToolkit version 2. Among many other things, you can easily create macros. Macros are shortcuts. These can be blocks of text, navigation macros to other screens and programs, or a series of commands like:
select all (Ctrl + A)
copy (Ctrl + C)
switch windows (like to Word which is Winword.exe)
paste text you copied (Ctrl + V)

PS. the previous 3 lines were inserted when I used the text macro, "Sign off." Edited by mmarkoe_admin - 20/Nov/2010 at 1:25pm |
