I am planning to develop some simple courses to support new users of
Dragon naturally speaking speech recognition software. The problem
is that the Voice commands "Press Tab" , "Press Shift Tab","Press
Enter", "Press Space Bar" fire the key board keys and allow you to
navigate Xerte, but it is very painful to get to where you want to
go if you simply want to advance a slide or bring up the table of
contents. "Press Tab","Press Tab","Press Tab","Press Tab" etc<br>
<br>
If you have the high end professional version of dragon you can say
"Press Tab 6" or you can program mouse position commands, assuming
you load xerte into the same window size every time, and say "Next
Slide" which will locate the mouse and click it. However the
target audience for the courses are novice dragon users with a
typical low end version of Dragon so this is not really an option.
You can also use "Mouse Grid 5,2,3 Mouse click" to position the
mouse and click it, but again you have to be an experienced user to
be able to do this.<br>
<br>
A few XOT inbuilt shot cut keys say "Press Control T" etc that
advance the slide no matter where you are would help novice user
with XOT. Others eg: go to first Tab Item on the slide would also
make a big difference.<br>
<br>
Understand that there may be possible conflicts with windows mac etc
pre defined short cut keys but the question is can this and should
this be done easily in XOT to assist disability users who use speech
recognition.( including built in Win7 speech recognition) <br>
