Brief Description: "Switch to NaturallySpeaking" macros for
NaturallySpeaking 3.0 Professional Edition
File Name: MICSWAP3.DDX
File Size: 3KB
Date Created: 10/14/98
Dragon Product: Dragon NaturallySpeaking, DragonDictate for Windows
Product Version: 3.x Professional
Product Language: UK English, US English

Description:
The implementation of these commands requires two actions:
1. Import the attached DDX file into your DragonDictate voice files.
2. Create a "Switch to DragonDictate" command in your
NaturallySpeaking voice files.
See the underlined section headings below for details regarding these
procedures.
Detail and Usage
The DragonDictate macro import file (MICSWAP3.DDX) modifies the
command [Switch to NaturallySpeaking] to interact properly with
NaturallySpeaking version 3.
It also adds the command [Back to Natural Word] to your DragonDictate
voice files, allowing easier hands-free use of the Microsoft Word 97
environment as controlled by Dragon NaturallySpeaking. It is assumed
that NaturalWord has already been started from its menu in Microsoft
Word 97 when you use this command.
After following the instructions below to import and create the
necessary commands, you can switch control from DragonDictate to
NaturallySpeaking by saying "Switch to NaturallySpeaking" or "Switch
to Natural Word". Likewise, you can switch control from
NaturallySpeaking to DragonDictate simply by saying "Switch to
DragonDictate.
Before you use the macros for the first time confirm that the
following items are properly set:
1. Run Hands Free must NOT be checked under the Hands Free options
(VoiceMenu | Options | Hands Free) of DragonDictate. This may seem
a bit counter-intuitive but it's necessary. Disabling the Run
Hands Free box suppresses a dialog box which interferes with these
macros.
2. The microphone hotkey for DragonDictate should be set to
{NumKey+} and the microphone hotkey for NaturallySpeaking should
be set to {F11}.
Import the attached DDX file into your DragonDictate voice files.
First make sure that the voice file into which you wish to import the
macros is the active one.
1. Select Voice Menu | Tools | Vocabulary manager to start the
Vocabulary Manager (or say "[Bring Up Vocabulary Manager]").
2. Go to the Vocabulary menu and select "Import..." to bring up
the Import Vocabulary dialog box.
3. Select the file called MICSWAP3.DDX (The location of this file
will depend on where you put it on your hard drive when you
downloaded it).
Once the path is correct, select OK.
4. Select Voice Menu | Quick Access | Save User to save your user
files. This saves your voice files with the new macros which have
just been added.
Create a "Switch to DragonDictate" command in your NaturallySpeaking
voice files.
First make sure that the voice file in which you wish to create the
command is the active one.
1. From the Tools menu, select "New Command Wizard" (this requires the
Professional Edition of Dragon NaturallySpeaking).
2. Select "Global" and click Next.
3. Enter "Switch to DragonDictate" (without the quotes) as the
"Command name" and click Next.
4. Select "Run a script" and click Next.
5. Enter the following three lines into the Script field (you can
copy and paste these. They are also included at the bottom of the
MICSWAP3.DDX file as comments):
SetMicrophone 0
Wait 50
SendSystemKeys "{NumKey+}"
6. Click Next, then Finish
