Hi,   I have been working on the Toolkit for a bit.   Sounds like you have exhausted most of the standard mechanisms regarding the security settings.  Can you send me the Macro(s) in question and I can see if I can replicate this issue.  My email address is antihadron@yahoo.com 

 Can you also give me a synopsis of the the context in which you are running the command (e.g. is it inside of Word or some other application?) and if there is any rhyme or reason as to when it decides to stop working (e.g. tune the microphone feature makes it stop working)

Regards,

Nathaniel

Working on a Saturday, Marty? Now that's dedication. Wink
At this point in time, Marty, I don't even know what I'm suggesting any more. All I know is that I have not touched the microphone settings, but my macros still don't seem to work. Whenever I create a new macro, trying to apply the certificate fails, and subsequently the macro doesn't work. If anything, it would seem that there is a connection between having a working macro and successfully applying a certificate. I have created the certificate, made it the default, and installed it into the trusted store, and still, 90 percent of the time it fails to apply properly.Confused

Are you suggesting the microphone settings have something to do with your security settings?
 
I'll ask our WSRToolkit programmer to look at your issue to see if he has some fresh ideas.

The posting concerning the Voice Tracker was moved to  the more appropriate topic I created, WSR and Array Microphones.

The Tune Microphone feature is wonderful. However, your attempt to tweak to perfection is an act of futility. One's voice changes over the course of the day and background noise levels change over the course of a day. The microphone tuning will work well within a given range. Find a sweet spot and do not change it. The most important thing you can do at any time to improve accuracy is to remember to enunciate each word as you dictate. I find when I can feel my mouth forming words, accuracy is best.
 
Quote As for certificates, yes, the security is set to medium, and I did set a default. Seems to make no difference. Is there a way for me to attach an image in this forum? I could take a snapshot of the error window when it pops up. Smile
The Insert Image icon is next to the File Upload icon on the top row of the toolbar.
 
It seems to me if you stop fooling with the Tune Microphone feature of the WSRToolkit your problem will be solved.

Help us out here, what change in settings are you talking about???
 
Quote Certificate signing has never made any sense to me at all, and 90% of the time trying to sign one of these macros fails. What am I doing wrong?
1. Have you created signing certificate with security set to Medium?
2. Have you set a Default Signing Certificate?
 
If not, do the above.

I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. The macros will work for a short while, but any change in settings causes them to quit working. Recreating the macro sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Certainly there has to be some way to make this a little bit more stable and less complicated. Certificate signing has never made any sense to me at all, and 90% of the time trying to sign one of these macros fails.
