Hi Mark,
To answer your question about mouse control and cursor control with
the Preferred version, as far as I know it's available. The reason I
say that is because I correspond regularly with someone who uses DNS
Preferred and has very little use of her hands so she does move the
cursor with voice control. They're also ways of positioning the cursor
much like you would do it with the mouse. But I've never tried any of
these systems so I don't know how they work. There is also a software
program which is an add-on to DNS that enables better mouse control. I
read about that on various forums.
Also in regard to the question about switching between DNS and WSR,
below is a copy of something from a Yahoo group forum on Microsoft
speech recognition. (it's in the remarks of someone who uses both
programs for several different languages and switches between them):
"On the other hand,
if you need multilingualism very often, the combination of DNS + WSR
is
very powerful, since it is very easy to switch between WSR and DNS,
i.e., between at least two languages. Switching takes 1-2 seconds
(turning the mic off in one application and turning it on in the
other)"
The way it works you have both programs running and you control which
one you use by which microphone you have turned on. Actually it's the
same microphone in both cases.
I agree with your remarks to Andy about the trouble with homonyms.
But I also find that Dragon is very good for correcting things, because
you say "select -- (the phrase with the wrong word), and immediately you
get a list of phrases with several choices, one of which is usually the
right word. You can set the lists for up to 10 choices, and pick the
one you want by saying "choose 5" or whatever number is appropriate.
I find I can move the cursor anywhere I want verbally by moving it up
down a line and moving it left or right by the telling it the number of
characters or the number of words and the direction I want to go. But
most of the time I do it with the mouse because I have my hand on the
mouse all the time. How lucky I am that I can do this. Actually I sit
back about 5 or 6 feet from my 20 inch monitor in my reclining chair and
I have the mouse pad either on the arm of the chair or in my lap. What
a luxury..
Andy -- regarding turning DNS on and off by voice command, I seldom
use that function. When I'm finished I exit the program and usually put
the computer in standby mode. When I come back I touch any key to wake
it up and then use the mouse to put cursor on the Dragon icon and click
it to start the program. So I'm no help on this question. However I
know the problem has been solved by others because there are many people
who cannot use their hands and do everything by voice control. If you
post a question I'm sure you'll receive lots of help on the KnowBrainer
forum.
I also suggested contacting Mr. Graham Hendry at his company (IT
speaking). You might give him a call on the telephone if possible.
From what I hear he is very helpful and could give you information aboutcontrolling your computer; he often works with handicapped people.
