Hello,

Does anyone know how to stop windows 7 from interpretting voice commands when using applications that use WSR normally. Typical commads are move up/down and page up/down. They interfere with my application.

I tried doing it with a macro, but win 7 ingores it.

Any suggestions ???

JJ_RWATC,

You could try creating macros for the commands that are giving you trouble, programming them to do nothing, and then assigning them a very high priority so that they supersede the built-in commands.

Change the <command> line in your macro like this to include a priority:

Increasing the priority might cause your macro to be recognized ahead of the internal command. If memory serves, the number range can be from 0 (lowest priority) up to 127 (highest priority).

However, based on your previous post, if you are trying to work around a microphone that is picking up background noise like breathing and interpreting it as commands, you'd be better off solving the microphone problem.

Good luck!

Russ, thanks enormously for the help. I have now managed to set up macros to disable the trouble keys triggering.

Using command priority as 127 it all works fine now. Cheers mate

I'm glad it worked out, although I'd still ask Santa to kindly put a new microphone under the tree.
