When you disconnect a microphone dictate disables your profile. To reengage Dictate open your profile and reactivate. You may also have to make changes to your system preference sound file.</p> <p>MSD Medical, DD &#38; DNS instructor: <a href="mailto:abledocmd@gmail.com">abledocmd@gmail.com</a><br /> MacOS 10.6.7; MBP 2.66 GHz i7 6GB; DD2.0.3; Mics: Audio 995 &#38; MX500i; FMP Adv 11; MSOff11 </p> http://www.macspeech.com/extensions/forums/topic.php?id=1507#post-6871 Tue, 17 May 2011 16:47:39 +0000 Pete33 6871@http://www.macspeech.com/extensions/forums/ <p>Is it possible to get Dragon Dictate to 'discover' a USB headset/mic after it has been unplugged and plugged back in? Skype and Google Voice are able to take input from the mic after the system preferences are reset to the headset as the input device, but Dragon has to be closed and restarted (which takes about 1.5 minutes on my system). </p> http://www.macspeech.com/extensions/forums/topic.php?id=238#post-1260 Sun, 10 May 2009 11:44:37 +0000 WJC 1260@http://www.macspeech.com/extensions/forums/ <p>Hi sjmm, can you share your Applescript with us?<br /> I am trying to write a similar script at the moment, and it's driving me nuts. I want to be able to dictate into the Note Pad (or another TextEdit window) at, say, 36 point size type, and then have a script that will convert this to 12 point and paste it into another word processing document. It should be easy - but it's not! How did you do it? </p> http://www.macspeech.com/extensions/forums/topic.php?id=238#post-1008 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:16:02 +0000 sjmn 1008@http://www.macspeech.com/extensions/forums/ <p>I can confirm that MacSpeech Dictate 1.3 doesn't help here. I am still unable to edit or make corrections in our hospital's electronic medical record (EPIC), even after using the Cache Document and Cache Selection commands. EPIC apparently has a fairly large install base, so it might be worth your time to look into compatibility. We access it via Citrix.<br /> <a href="http://epicsystems.com/" rel="nofollow">http://epicsystems.com/</a> </p> http://www.macspeech.com/extensions/forums/topic.php?id=238#post-1000 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 22:09:38 +0000 jayg 1000@http://www.macspeech.com/extensions/forums/ <p>MacSpeech Dictate 1.3 may help here. The Cache Document and Cache Selection commands in 1.3 are designed to learn existing text, and to work outside of Dictate's Note Pad.</p> <p>It's good to know what application(s) you're using, too. That's helpful to compare. </p> http://www.macspeech.com/extensions/forums/topic.php?id=238#post-984 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 02:55:12 +0000 sjmn 984@http://www.macspeech.com/extensions/forums/ <p>I've managed to deal with this for now by using Applescript to take my dictated text from Dictate's Note Pad and copy it into the specific part of our electronic medical record. It's nice now that the script works with a single voice command, but a bit of a pain to write the script. I guarantee none of my other colleagues would give this program the time of day because of the need to do this type of extra scripting to bring it to where it should be in terms of ease of use. </p> http://www.macspeech.com/extensions/forums/topic.php?id=238#post-974 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 05:20:04 +0000 sjmn 974@http://www.macspeech.com/extensions/forums/ <p>It is incredibly frustrating to not be able to dictate directly into our hospital's electronic medical record without MacSpeech Dictate completely freaking out if any corrections are needed. It also inserts random characters such as an "A" or "x" at the end of sentences. I know all of the documentation talks about MacSpeech Dictate needing to know the location of the cursor in the document - buy why? This design (flaw) totally limits the usefulness of this product and my ability to be efficient with it. I very strongly suggest - maybe for 2.0 - that you figure out how to get Dictate to interact with text in all windows - like Dragon Naturally Speaking. Being tied to the Dictate note pad is lame. </p>
