My Andrea NC 61 Headphones have just bitten the dust. What should I be aiming for next? Sennheiser but which model? I have DNS 7.3 higher preferred on a Dell Dimension 4300 Windows XP home edition Pentiun 4 / 1.79 Ghz 512 Ram

Kate,
>>does anyone know if Scansoft have adapted the DNS software for left hand mouse users? You just have to use the mouse settings in Windows. If you set it for a lefthand mouse, then "right click" will equal "mouseclick". John |

Re Mouse
That works for clicking OK, but I still use the mouse for positioning the cursor, . Using the 'voice grid' is very tedious and slows me down considerably. I have an inflammatory arthritis and sooner or later will need to use the left hand, which is in better nick What is a USB sound pod, please? An add on bit of hard drive with a better sound card installed? Headset rather than standalone Sennheiser PC150 ? I have SB Live sound card. I realise that my pc is becoming something of a relic...but not yet ready to change: soon though! [This message has been edited by London Kate (edited 04-04-2005).] |

why not simply try "move up x" or left or right a number of words when you get to the right line?
If you want to move up 10 or more lines, why not write a simple macro "screen up" adding a number to it if you want to do it more than once and depending how far back you want to go. Here is my macro Sub Main SendKeys "{PgUp}" End Sub To do it more than once, merely add a number after the curly bracket. |

Hello Kate
Four things. First, there's an RSI support group in London (I realise you haven't got RSI, or may not have) some of whose members use NaturallySpeaking: http://rsi.pdcompsys.com/ Second, Kim Patch, at www.scriven.com, has mouse control macros (but not free). Third, I'd suggest you try autoclick mouse software, free download from http://www.samsara.plus.com/mousetool this is a personal home page, so there are sometimes problems getting through. Fourth, you might want to look at www.itspeaking.com (UK supplier) Judy |

Thanks for the responses! I now know what to buy! I'm clearly in the place where the experts are!
As far as mouse use goes.. I use powerpoint a lot with voice recognition so that cursor positioning is critical, although snapping to the grid does help. Trying to use a voice directed mouse for this purpose I find difficult so far but I am still in the early stages of learning! I dont use the powerpoint wizards either, dont do the job I want. Anyone using macros for this purpose? the control D function for copying a grouped object? |

Kate, I am not sure how well Preferred does with macros. It is more limited, compared to pro.
When you talk about positioning the cursor, is this in text? In pro, to copy a group of words would involve selecting those words and and then saying "copy that" If you upgrade to 8, then I think that you are going to find that the macro capability is restricted, unless the upgrade is to professional. With your ailment, I would suggest that because you would much better control by voice and then the full macro capabilities of DNS can be used, but it is a further outlay. I have seen elsewhere that people have managed to upgrade to pro 7 and then to 8, I believe pro 7 was cheaper, by quite a bit. I don't know if that can still be done. |

You're not going to get any sort of high-level macros without going to a Professional-level version of this software. Second, I posted a powerpoint that's run with a Dragon Macro as a start...

Sorry, didn't say but I do have DNS Professional at work, (didn't make that clear) with a Sennheiser headset which although good is probaby a gaming headset.
Tried to post something in here to show you the sort of slide I create but failed. Text is not a problem in powerpoint, no problem with that, great help but the finer cursor control needed for powerpointing diagrams etc is...part of my livelihood. I'm beginning to think a wireless pen shaped mouse and pad might be a better option |

You could zip your slide and post it over at: www.emrconsultant.com/forum where we could download and have a look... And yesss... Judy doesn't like the decorum of the other site, but I'm partial to it's functions over this site - because you can post code/macros/etc... Ingram -------------------- |
