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

Have you guys ever used Game Commander, or similar? I always thought that
had accesibility potential: it allows you to map keyboard shortcuts to
voice commands for an application. I had that in mind when doing the
shortcuts (a long time ago now...)

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)
