Russ, I believe your suggestion to say 'numeral 2' will work well and points to the direction. However I do not believe its possible to raise the priority of a 'user' level macro to that of those processed by the WSR system. I also do not think its possible to disable the 'core' functions of WSR like 'show numbers' or override them. Your best bet here is to use alternate commands that do not conflict with the WSR system ones.

Here's a couple of ideas...

* Try saying "numeral 2" instead of "Press 2." (This "numeral" trick works with any number, by the way.) This forces WSR to enter a number 2 rather than to, two, or too.

* If you really want the macro to work, try raising the priority of the macro by making its opening <command> like this: 
<command priority="127">
This raises the priority of the macro so that WSR will be more likely execute it compared to doing something else. Priority can be 0 to 127, with 0 being the lowest and 127 the highest.

I hope this helps.

I have successfully created macros for a non standard windows 3rd party dental charting application which enables me to speak only numbers when entering into the charting system. All of the numbers work perfectly as I set them up to simulate spoken text such as “Press 1” so I do not have to keep saying the word “press” for each entry. The problem I have run into (and it seems to be a new problem which did not occur when I first set it up) is the number “two” is automatically opening the “show numbers” control overlay. I have even replaced the macros thinking maybe it had gotten corrupt. My question is how can I turn off the “show numbers” function when I am simply trying to say “Press 2”. If I say "Press two" it does insert the actual number two properly without the macros, so the command is working by itself. I think it is a matter of turning off the show numbers function for that particular entry. This is not occurring with any of the other numbers all of them appear to be working properly except for the number two which seems to have some hidden command attached to it. I also can not tell how to identify what the command looks like so it can be fixed, it appears to be hidden.]]> Thu, 30 Jan 2014 18:51:01 +0000 https://www.msspeech-forum.com/macros-command-resulting-in-undesired-outcome_topic333_post1546.html#1546 <![CDATA[Medical Professionals : How to write abbreviations?]]> https://www.msspeech-forum.com/how-to-write-abbreviations_topic224_post1366.html#1366 Author: mpatton

1. Add a new word, spelled "g/m2"
2. train it by saying "gee emm two" or "gee emm slash two"
3. save the word with its pronunciation
 
To test the new word, open Notepad, and say the following as continuous speech (i.e. with no pauses): "the patient had seventy-five gee emm two white cells in his blood period". 
 
When I added the new word and said the above sentence, this is what appeared in my Notepad window:
 
"The patient had 75 g/m2 white cells in his blood."
 
New words added using the process above are not part of a macro and therefore do not require a pause.
 
All you have to do is train your doctors to say "gee emm 2", which is way faster than saying "grams per square meter". 
 
Obviously, other abbreviations can be similarly programmed as custom words. 
 
For example, "kilogram meters per second squared" (i.e. "kgm/s2") which is 9 syllables, could be programmed as "kay gee emm ess two" which is only five syllables.
 
Of course, if you wanted to be truly creative you could train the word "g/m2" with the spoken phrase "shama-lama-ding-dong" or "doodlie-squat", although I doubt the doctors would remember it.

I've found physicians to be generally be bright understanding people. All you need explain is the 1/2 second pause is more than made up for by the shortcut and reduced corrections. Think of presenting it this way, 5 macros require a total of 2.5 seconds in pauses. 5 corrections can take 30-60 seconds.

Will it work for all users? Experiment and you'll find out.

Dictate numbers by prefixing the number with the word, "numeral." For example, if I want to say the number seventy-five, I can say, "numeral 75."
 
I now say the macro titled, "grams per square meter" that has the written form, " g/m2." Macro is below my name.
 
I can now say 75 g/m2, or 50 g/m2, etc. I did have to train the phrase g/m2 using the Dictionary function of the WSRToolkit V2. I entered g/m2 as the written form and added the pronounciation, "Grams per square meter." Now every time I say g/m2 it comes up the way you want it to.

I didn't explain myself right.

Macros could be an option for isolated sentences, but it doesn't work when I am dictating (e.g. "bla bla bla 75 grames per square meter bla bla bla").

Is it possible to do that? How?

Thank you very much!

How can I do that in WSR?
Simply write a text macro with the spoken form, "75 gee slash meter squared." Have the written form as "75 g/m2".
 
The WSRToolkit Version 2 uses step by step wizards to easily create text as well as command macros. It has many more features as well, all for a reasonable price. CLICK HERE to see this.
