So Nuance is doing some advanced AppleScripting. I'd sure love to have a list of these events and classes to experiment with. «event DctaSnKS» "f" given «class faal»: line means lots of their scripts have those odd events and classes, but I haven't been able to find anything useful about them online. Using terms from application "System Events" I notice that the AppleScript in Dictate seem to take odd forms, e.g., the following is only part of the 'script for Dictate's Finder command that apparently simply sends command-F to open the Finder's Find window: I am new to the Mac and have struggled with AppleScript without much success. Speaking "Press The Key Combo Command Right Arrow" seems to send a Right Arrow but not the Command, based on the result in the web app. Good luck - and let me know if I can assist you further. Maybe something's different about the trial, but I kind of doubt it. Since I'm not a comapping member I couldn't test the full product. Obviously if you say "Expand Mind Map" and you're not on a node, then the command (and the keystroke itself) won't do anything. Dragon (all flavors, including NaturallySpeaking on PC) has a hard time interfacing with flash elements, and many designers (such as the comapping team) don't make it easy to tell where you are on the screen if you're not using the mouse. The only thing I'd advise is to watch your focus. I'm using Dictate 3.0.2 and Safari 6.0.3. Left arrow with the Command modifier checked. It was Right Arrow (from the Special Character menu) with the Command modifier checkbox checkedĢ) Collapse Mind Map. Then I created two Keystroke commands:ġ) Expand Mind Map. "Press the key combo command left arrow" collapsed them. "Press the key combo command right arrow" expanded nodes. I use Mind Node on my iPad all the time, but haven't found a good desktop version), and I got this to work. I played around with the trial version of comapping (and thanks for pointing it out. AppleScript will let you do Waits.Įdit: Just curious, what happens when you give the voice command Press The Key Combo Command Right Arrow? I thought this was available in Dictate, but I was wrong. DNS has an option to add "Wait" to Step by Step commands through a dropdown menu. I was confusing Dictate and NaturallySpeaking. Meanwhile, how does one add a wait statement to a keystroke command? Thanks again.Ed I'll verify all of this next time I'm at my Mac. Keystroke "right arrow" using command down This isn't accurate, but the script you want is something as simple as: AppleScript is much simpler than DNS Advanced Scripting. Have you tried adding a Wait statement to your command? Sometimes I find that when I'm getting hiccups with keystrokes it has to do with the speed at which the command is executing.ĪppleScript could indeed work, and for Dictate especially it's worth investing $20 in an AppleScript book. I'll take a look at this when I'm back at my Mac. Thoughts? I don't know AppleScript, but could that be a work-around?ĭragon Dictate (always updated to latest) on MacBook Pro Retina 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 & 16 GB of memory.Īlso sometimes use DNS 10.0 on XP in VMWare on same computer. Manually typing ? (command-right-arrow) still works on. Sending other keystrokes in combination with the command key, for instance command-tab, (the app switcher) does work. I can't show it as it appears in the editing pane of the Commands window of Dragon Dictate, because this message board won't show the symbols, but here's what the command does:ĭragon does send the esc followed by the right arrow, but doesn't send the Command Key modifier. This command stopped working pretty recently, so I'm wondering, could the new Dictate version be what crumped the command? I have auto-update turned on. could someone tell me when 3.0.2 came out? It used to work fine, but now it doesn't. My version is 3.0.2. I designed a User Defined Safari command that included a Command-Key-modified Right Arrow] for use in a web app ().
