Update on this initial issue, I found the same symptoms occur with Skype. If it's been open for awhile (I don't know how long exactly) and I then open WSR, or close and reopen it, it will not type other than press key commands. It will not recognize any word spoken to it regardless of how simple or how many times.

Well unfortunately it's necessary for work. There's only three programs open in addition to WSR; my browser, my e-mail, and im program. But it worked fine all day today (except for the memory leak) until I shut WSR and reopened it. The moment I did that, I had to close and reopen the three aforementioned programs as well. When I do that, all is right again. For some reason it just doesn't like it when the programs are open a long time before WSR. How long exactly, I don't know. I haven't tested that explicitly yet.]]> Wed, 27 Jan 2010 23:02:15 +0000 https://www.msspeech-forum.com/using-nonstandard-programs_topic159_post790.html#790 <![CDATA[Using nonstandard programs : bipolarbear wrote:I figured...]]> https://www.msspeech-forum.com/using-nonstandard-programs_topic159_post789.html#789 Author: mmarkoe_admin

I figured something else out also. It's not how long the programs I dictate into are open, regarding the other problem I mentioned, where it stops recognizing anything. It's about not having them all open for a long time prior to starting the speech recognition. It worked all day long today, so long as I don't shut WSR and then reopen. If I do that without doing the same with the programs I dictate into, if won't recognize a single thing regarding dictation. Other commands will still function.

It sounds as if you have hit the nail on the head. I generally have only one or two programs that I dictate into open at the time. It sounds like you have many open at the same time and it is as if the speech engine is working in all of them independently. Try only having one program open at a time to see if this is the case?

I do, but all that does is slow it down. I had it open from early morning until I made that post. It took that long for it to grow to that level, using it intermittently during the day, and immediately shutting the moment I finish dictation.

It sure sounds if you have a memory leak. Why don't you just turn the microphone off on the Speech Bar?

I'm curious this time to see just how high it'll go. Everything is still working, and I've had it running since this morning, without interruption. It's currently around 530,000 kilobits of memory. Unbelievable. I'm just wondering if at some point when ram runs out, if it will release some or just stop growing or will the computer grind to a halt?.]]> Wed, 27 Jan 2010 13:41:52 +0000 https://www.msspeech-forum.com/using-nonstandard-programs_topic159_post785.html#785 <![CDATA[Using nonstandard programs : One very noteworthy and fascinating...]]> https://www.msspeech-forum.com/using-nonstandard-programs_topic159_post784.html#784 Author: bipolarbear

One very noteworthy and fascinating advantage that WR has over dragon, you can manually move the cursor with your mouse, even take focus away from the text area or even the window itself, and when you return, WR can still select any word in the document, whereas dragon completely loses its bearings with the slightest provocation.]]> Tue, 26 Jan 2010 11:38:24 +0000 https://www.msspeech-forum.com/using-nonstandard-programs_topic159_post784.html#784 <![CDATA[Using nonstandard programs : Interesting.

Interesting. Most forum software would permit the posting of HTML/XML as text and just not parse it. From what I've seen thus far, I would say that each of the two dictation systems has advantages and flaws, and both are extremely finicky in their function. The technology is not exactly there yet, but getting there. Until my hands get better, if ever, this is what I'll have to use.]]> Fri, 22 Jan 2010 08:10:41 +0000 https://www.msspeech-forum.com/using-nonstandard-programs_topic159_post782.html#782 <![CDATA[Using nonstandard programs : bipolarbear wrote:Yes, with...]]> https://www.msspeech-forum.com/using-nonstandard-programs_topic159_post781.html#781 Author: mmarkoe_admin

Yes, with the scratchpad corrections function normally. You just have to say insert and enter after every thing you say.

Something else I've noticed, on this forum, new paragraph does not give you the start of a new paragraph. It functions the way new line should function. You'll note there is no space between the second and third sentences, yet I'd told it to start a new paragraph. Just odd little things. I'm currently switching back and forth between WRS and dragon. When one frustrates me to the point of exploding, I switch to the other.

Yes, I have the same issue. I simply used our WSRToolkit to create a command macro called, "Next Paragraph," that gives two carriage returns. The macro is below my name.

PS. I tried posting the macro as text but our security firewall does not allow use of certain programming symbols and would not allow the posting as text. Below is a screen shot of the macro.
