So I’ve recently decided to try and see if I could get WSRto work in online games for the chat windows. I just set it up a few days ago, running on Windows 7 and also installedthe Macro pack as well.  In windows itappears to work just fine.  I read it afew pages from the current book (Wheel of Time series) I'm reading to see howit works and it did quite well.  So atthe end of this month I will be getting an Oculus Rift, and figured that whilewearing it typing in game chat windows would make that a lot easier.  Thought I would try and get things setupbefore it arrives.  I have no issuestyping when I can’t see the keyboard, however the initial orientation offinding the keyboard while effectively blind could be a bit off.  So I figured this would make things moreeffective.  And it does work a littlebit.

I’ve tried 2 games so far (WoW and FFXIV) and they do havesame problem, as well as the Steam chat window too.  Once I am in the game WSR still listens to meand I can give it commands and it will follow them.  Like I can say “Open Notepad” and it will tabout of the game and open a Notepad window. Using the macro tool I can say something like “Action Raise” and it willcast my resurrection spell on my target too. This was not my intended function, but it is something I think I caneventually get some use out of, so that’s neat. So commands work fine, howeverit will not take speech dictation at all for some reason.

When I say “enter” it presses enter which does active thechat window and I get a blinking cursor, which is normal.  However if then I follow it up with somethinglike “Hello everyone” then the little WSR window just says “What was that?” asif I was trying to give it a command that it didn’t recognize.  I can pre-program in macros to make cannedphrases if I want to, so I can do something like “enter Greeting #1 enter” andit will say “Hello everyone” in my guild chat. Again handy if there is something I have to type often, especially if itis long.  But nowhere near what I washoping for.  If I say “enter press hpress e press l press l press o enter” then it will do Hello in my guild chat, howeverthat is certainly not effective at all.

I’ve looked around the settings, I’ve even tried running WSRas an administrator as I have had a few other programs that worked better whilein games if I did that with no effect. However I can find no way around this particular issue.  Is there a way around this, or a cause that Ican work around.  Are there any otherapplications that have this similar issue? After all I noticed that in the Steam chat it does the same thing andthat really isn’t any different than google chat (which works fine).

Any tips or setting changes I can make I’ll certainly giveit a try.  Thank you for anything thatmight be helpful.  Also let me know ifthere is any other information I can provide. :)
