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

Mon Dec 19 11:17:37 GMT 2011

was that a seasonal thrice e.g. the oddity must be true as you've said it 
thrice or just an error? ;-)

Or am I the only one who's received three copies?

Alistair  - I have noticed that same issue when demonstrating the TTS e.g. 
sometimes tabbing doesn't get past the IE address bar and yet with the same 
install and same LO sometimes it does.

I'd welcome your support on the audit, Peter.

Has anyone noticed the oddity on the current Nottingham play_560 example 
where TTS on the navigation controls announces "Page n of n"? There's also a 
tendency for tabbing to escape the learning object back to the browser 
navigation but then be unable to return to the browser. Neither of these are 
issues with our 2 TechDis installations which is a puzzle. I'd be interested 
if others find the same on their current installs.

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.

They are already there: try page up, pagedown, home, end with / without the 
shit key…

Hi Peter

JISC TechDis are currently doing some accessibility audits on Xerte and this 
is a useful contribution to the pot. Can we Skype at some time in next 
couple of days and I’ll update you on where we’ve got to. We’re hoping to 
put together a wish list and have some budget to help ease the process.

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

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.

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.

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)
