Hi All,

I've been searching for a solution to my problem and it led me to this forum which I searched through but didn't find an answer.

What I would like to do is have WSR stay fixed into one program, even after I click away. So say Im running Notepad++ and get WSR to start transcribing my voice into text. As soon as I click onto another application (say a web browser), WSR moves to the new window and stops transcribing.

So is there a with Macros or a way in WSRToolkit or any other way you can think of that will keep WSR locked to one application, letting me say Browse the web or watch a movie, but still have my spoken words transcribed into the text editor?

Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately, this is not really possible with WSR Macros or with WSR Toolkit. It may be possible through programming the Windows Speech API, but that's beyond the scope of this forum.
