Yep, sorry for all the questions at once Marty, I guess I am trying to run before I can walk!

As for looking at your last macro regarding a “new Paragraph”, I do not want to use that one because I am already quite happy with saying “new Paragraph” instead of “Paragraph new” so if I make a macro, I want it to be one that is useful to me and will use.

Plus I still do not understand the codes you have to write such as > listen for < command > listen for etc.  For instance, if you want to capitalise all the letters in a word and you want the trigger words to be “Cap All” how would you do that?  I know there is such a command already but I just want an idea of how you go about it?  Plus, whereabouts do you do these macros?  In the WSR tool kit or in the little blue bubble which is named “Macros”?  What’s the difference between these two?

Russ, I have a Buddy Desktop Mic with full duplex USB built in to the microphone itself although I only use my laptop speakers.

The reason I have this is, because I am disabled, it fits nicely onto a tray that straddles across my bed.  With its base and easy to move adjustable neck which can be put in any position towards my mouth very easily, I found it to be the most practical microphone for my purpose although I know it is not one of the best at the top range, probably more middling, Marty will probably confirm that to you.

I tried what you said Russ, as for when I say “click 5” or “click 3”, it automatically clicks that number no matter where the mouse grid is situated and so if I say “3” and it won’t go there and jumps off then I say undo and it goes back to its original position but not where I eventually want it, then if I were to say “click 3”, it would automatically click that point which is where I do not want it to pick because I wanted it on the “3” point, do you understand what I am trying to say?

You say I need to speak right in front of the microphone Marty instead of “off axis” but it works perfectly with any of the other numbers, it is only that one.

Okay Marty and Russ, here’s another one for you.

I do not know if anyone else experiences this problem but when I use the mouse grid, when the point I want lands on the “3”, sometimes, not always, no matter how I try to say that number, it will not go to it and it jumps off the point so I say “undo” and try again and it jumps off the point again.

So then...  I try saying “3” in a very soft voice and sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn’t and it can take ages sometimes and is very frustrating .  Is there anything else I can say to correct this?

The same thing happens sometimes when the alternatives panel comes up and I choose the option “3”, it will go to any other number except that one unless I say it in a very softly spoken voice.  Sometimes that does not even work so I say another number first then say the number “3” in a softly spoken voice and then it will work sometimes.  It does not do that with any other number except that one so any ideas?

The next venture I want to do is make my first macro.  I know there are instructions and I should study them but could you just demonstrate a really simple macro for me please?

The other question I want to ask you is how do you bring up the quotation box Marty showing someone else’s speech and quotation like you have in here to show what you are answering from a previous post?

So many questions I know, I guess I have to learn somehow!

Cheers
