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
