Does anyone know a way to force the dictation box off in DPI 15? I'm trying to translate in Studio using the dictation box, which is doable, but occasionally I'd like to be able to quickly do something in a segment without the dictation box (ideally by holding a key down while dictating). Any ideas? Thanks, Olly | | | Michael Beijer United Kingdom Local time: 22:18 Member (2009) Dutch to English + ...

Any ideas? Thanks, Olly To stop the D.box from popping up at all: Tools > Options > Miscellaneous Uncheck: (×) Use the Dictation Box for unsupported applications You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to pop open the Dictation Box @ Tools > Options > Miscellaneous > Hot keys Incidentally, why would you use the Dictation Box in Studio? To get "Full Text Control"? Dictation works pretty well straight into the target box in Studio. | | |
I dictate in the dbox in Studio because Studio doesn't support many Dragon commands (in particular, I want to be able to select and correct misinterpreted words to make sure Dragon gets them right next time). So I don't want to disable the dbox permanently but only occasionally to dictate the odd change in a segment. Thanks, Olly | | | Alternatively | Mar 8, 2017 |
Alternatively is there somewhere I can find a few simple macros to use in Studio, such as 'select word', 'correct word', etc.? That would pretty much remove the need to use the dbox for me. | |

Thanks Nora, So if I understand you correctly, there is no way to call up the correction menu in Studio, with or without knowbrainer? That's a real shame... I guess I can try turning this around by dictating straight into Studio and using force dbox to make corrections with the correction menu... Olly

That's correct, but I have to say that with Dragon's high accuracy I don't really miss the correction menu. On the rare occasions when I need to correct something, I add it to the vocabulary and that prevents any further misrecognitions. I'm not sure how switching between direct dictation and using the dictation box would work, but it'd be interesting to hear about your results, as people are always looking for ways to optimize the Studio-Dragon interaction. | | |
Well I've been trying that out today as follows: if I see a word or phrase I want to correct in a Studio segment I select it with a voice command or the mouse, force the dbox with ctrl+shift+d, say 'correct that', and get the correction menu. Now I would like to know how to create a macro to do this (combine 'select word' with ctrl+shift+d and 'correct that'). Is that possible? | |

I had never thought of using the dictation box as an intermediate step to get to the Correction menu. I think you may be onto something! Here's the command that can help achieve what you want. Command name: Correct (dictation) Note that "dictation" should be in angled brackets, not in parentheses, but angled brackets cannot be used in this forum. Sub Main SendKeys "^{PgUp}" SendKeys "^f" Wait .1 SendKeys ListVar1 Wait .1 SendKeys "{Enter}" Wait .1 SendKeys "{Esc}" Wait 1 Sendkeys "^+d" Wait .5 Heardword "correct that" End Sub Note: The wait times may need to be adapted Hope that helps! Nora Edited to add a note about the command name

Here's a screenshot of the command in Knowbrainer: | | |
Hi Nora, Thanks, however this macro (created in DPI, not knowbrainer) calls up the Find box, deletes the rest of the sentence and the 'please say that again message' pops up! | | | Nora Diaz Mexico Local time: 14:18 Member (2002) English to Spanish + ... Shortcut conflict | Mar 9, 2017 |
That sounds like there may be a shortcut conflict, Olly. Studio uses Ctrl+Shift+D as the default shortcut for Delete to Next Tag. To see if this is the source of the issue, I would first try changing the Studio shortcut to something else. | |

Hi again Nora, I hope you don't mind continuing to help me here. I have tried this with knowbrainer, where it does work. I only have a trial of knowbrainer and don't plan to purchase. Do you have any other ideas about how I can get this to work without it (I found all the conflicting shortcuts with ctrl+shift+d, but the script now only comes with the 'please say that again' prompt after selecting the word)? Thanks, Olly

Hi Olly, HeardWord works slightly differently in KnowBrainer, so that's one part of the problem. The other problem that prevents the command from working in Dragon is that somehow Dragon isn't correctly interpreting the SendKeys line for the shortcut. This should fix it: Command name: Correct (dictation) Sub Main SendKeys "^{PgUp}" SendKeys "^f" SendKeys ListVar1 Wait .1 SendKeys "{Enter}" Wait .1 SendK...

Thanks so much Nora, it is now up and running with your last script. I might try tweaking the delays to speed it up, but otherwise all good!
