[Xerte] Re: XOT - Speech recognition - Keyboard short cut keys

[Peter Snowball]

Thanks very much.  I have breifly tried the keys and the voice commands 
"Press page down" Press page up"- they seem to work OK. "Press Shift 
Home"  also brings up the table of contents. In dialog boxes "move down 
one" "move up one" works also  then you have to "tab" to the button and 
"Press Enter" some times "Press Space bar"to activate the button etc.

I will need to put a lot more time into exploring using voice commands 
in the full range of templates in XOT.  Probably the best way will be to 
jing some examples as input into the accessibility audit. I will start 
on this when I get some free time  in  the new year.

In dragon professional you can create custom voice commands that use 
scripts that press keys etc.  So "Table of contents" would press shift 
Home key etc.
