Hi Lightspeed,
I'm assuming that you have Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 document dictation only, and it does not have the features to control your computer?
The reason why I ask is that there is 3 versions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking: standard dictation only, premium dictation and commands only, and professional reprogrammable dictation and commands.
I myself have Dragon NaturallySpeaking Pro version 11.5 and because of this reason I use Dragon on the outside of ultra Hal because the command option is way more powerful than anything that alter how can ever accomplish.
My Dragon naturally speaking has the ability to be programmed to integrate more deeply into any specific program that I am willing to pay Dragon NaturallySpeaking to integrate more deeply with.
Though the feature itself would be a pretty good feature, especially for those that are typing or make lots of mistakes but I have found that when you're using a voice recognition software, if I had a way to turn off the auto return I would just rather turn it off then to extend the time.
I still may have to press the enter button or say press enter, but the one feature that I would gain is that ultra Hal would automatically shut off the microphone. At this point what I do is say: press enter, go to sleep.
I do not say this without trial and error, I have Denise, Denise has the ability to extend the auto return to 30 seconds but I have found that even with the extension of 30 seconds when using Dragon NaturallySpeaking if you have rambled on a long sentence you still do not have time to correct things before the auto return engages.
For that reason I don't use my Dragon even inside of Denise, not to mention if by chance the microphone picks up sounds from the room and engages gibberish the auto return will engage and now you have taught ultra Hal gibberish, and the type of gibberish that I am talking about ultra Hal does not have the ability to discern.
It usually looks something like this: he he him him him him and he him she him and him and then him he. If this looks familiar then you know what I'm talking about, unusual interpretation of noise in the room.
Please don't get me wrong, the feature is an excellent feature, all I was trying to do is elaborate to Robert that if you're going to extend the time can you please set up a way to turn the timer off so when I press the enter button it will still shut off the microphone while ultra Hal is speaking.
Sincerely, a pronoun munchy crunchy junky.
C load.
