type some of the text. Usually, this is when it is going to be some
technical word that I do not feel like teaching NaturallySpeaking,
because I think I'm not going to say it very often. Other times, I am
pasting in some output from a program into a bug report, say.
If I am just typing at the and of the document, then it works great.
However, if I go back into previously dictated or typed text to make a
correction with the keyboard, often it seems to do something bizarre.
In particular, it seems to replace characters with my typing, rather
than inserting my typing. (I did finally learned to turn the
microphone off while I am doing this, because otherwise it interprets
the random clicking of the keyboard as the word "to" and inserts this,
usually in the middle of the word.) Anyway, the documentation wants
you to use your voice more, and so it does not discuss using typing
very much, and less obviously I have not found any documentation that
tells you about using this word processor from the keyboard. So, has
anyone else seen this? Any ideas on how to change it to use insertion?
In my most recent experience, I had gone back to insert a % as a
prompt after pasting the input line into my bug report, and it deleted
the command that I was attempting to display. Fortunately, I noticed
this while I was reviewing the document in the mail sender before
sending it off, or I am certain that the recipient of the bug report
would have thought I was an idiot. The weird thing is, if I were to
have spoken the addition, it would have been inserted as I would
expect. So why is typing different?
