I'm considering removing Dragon Dictate and re-installing completely from
scratch. I am trying to use it when working with Excel spreadsheets (using
Office 97). Today the [read that] command suddenly ceased to function.
Actually, it works in other applications, even Word--just not in Excel. In
Excel, whenever I say [read that], I consistently get "data entry" as the
first choice when I say "oops". I have chosen the correct word many times,
even retrained it, to no avail.
System specs are as follows:
Dragon Dictate 3.0, with text-to-speech enabled
Pentium 166 MMX, under Win-95, with 32 megs RAM
Office 97 Proffessional
My screen access package doesn't work very well with Dragon, but until
today I've been able to work quite effectively with just Dragon's commands,
keyboard shortcuts, and the [read that] command to speak cell contents. I
am able to read the choices in the word history and choice list using
macros that read them with the text-to-speech facility. Is there
something I'm missing about correcting command recognition? Why might a
command suddenly stop functioning? With the [read that] command I don't
recall it ever being misrecognized, yet today it doesn't get recognized at
all in the spreadsheet. As a possible solution I restored my user files
to the last backup, but this didn't fix the problem.
Any hints, suggestions, etc, are _MUCH_ appreciated. I'm getting behind in
this course as it is, so if I can't fix this thing in a couple of days, I
think I'll quit using it with Excel for the time being.
Thanks much in advance
