In fact, I actually bought KnowBrainer 2015, Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional 13 and a SpeechWare 3-in-1 TableMike.

Very interesting indeed. <br /><br />I recently discovered something to make it even more useful: Vocola, Unimacro, Dragonfly, etc. That is, open source software that allows to me control my computer my voice, in addition to being able to dictate speech. <br /><br />For example, I can say "browser", and Vocola will switch to Yandex.Browser (my favorite browser at the moment). All kinds of stuff in my browser works, such as "close tab", "scroll down/up 1", "scroll downup 2", "back", "forward", "search for", etc. <br /><br />If I say "CafeTran", I'm taken to CafeTran. In CafeTran, I can do all kinds of stuff, like: "confirm", apply various filters, search my TBs/TMs, translate selection, etc. I'm currently working on commands for text editing (moving stuff around, selecting words, deleting things, etc.). All commands for CafeTran go in a special txt file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6802597/Documents/java.vcl<br /><br />All global commands are written in another text file. Here's what I have so far, after playing with it a few days: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6802597/Documents/java.vcl<br /><br />It is very easy to write basic Vocola commands. However, it gets better: the developer has also managed to integrate AutoHotkey. You can either call an AHK script with Vocola commands/code (your action is coded in AHK – and in a .ahk file on your computer – but called from a Vocola command), or ... you can stick AHK code right in your Vocola command (!). This is great for one-liners.<br /><br />I actually also recently discovered that KnowBrainer (the guys who resell Dragon stuff, mikes, etc.) have their own, commercial, version of something similar: KnowBrainer 2014/2015, which I haven't tried yet. Actually, I can't get their installer to work.<br /><br />I have only really scratched the surface and have only tried Vocola/Unimacro so far. Dragonfly (which is aimed at "voice coding") seems to be the next level up.<br /><br />Some useful links to get started:<br /><br />install natlink unimacro vocola<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iViDXfyYPLo <br /><br />enable vocola and do global commands<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf5NV5fh420 <br /><br />start unimacro and use grammar control<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5cg7OGN0Ow<br /><br />Vocola: <br />http://vocola.net/ <br /><br />Unimacro:<br />http://qh.antenna.nl/unimacro/index.html <br /><br />Unofficial Vocola 2 extensions<br />http://vocola.net/unofficial/extensions.html Michael Beijerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826804655385764008noreply@blogger.com
