I might be overlooking it somewhere, but am looking for a simple command to force spelling inside a non-supportive dragon environment. Like in this forum! I want to be able to say 'spell t a p' to get 'tap'.  ( rather than getting "spell T AP" or something else – I don't want things capitalised and i don't want spaces). 

most likely the command  is somewhere, but I can't get it working. if this is not yet a no-brainer command, any tips for how to create one? 

 

 

I last grabbed the newest KnowBrainer Commands file on 4 May 2020; the commands you are looking for is "Spell…"

Here's an alternative way of spelling in speech unfriendly applications for Speech Productivity users using the Dictation Box Tiny (you can use a similar approach with Notepad, but that's less elegant and less safe . Of course you need to have the "Spell commands bring up Spelling Window" enabled in Dragon Options. 

 

Double-click any existing SP DVC voice command in Command Browser, click "Create New" and make the following command application specific to "Microsoft Edge"

 

Spell

 

AppBringUp "C:\Program Files (x86)\Speech Productivity\dictation box tiny\Dictation Box.exe"

HeardWord "spell"

 

Make the following command application specific to "Dragon"

 

Apply

 

SendSystemKeys "{Enter}"

HeardWord "click","TRANSFER"

 

Here is a short DEMONSTRATION VIDEO

We changed the previous KnowBrainer global Spell <AllCapsAlphabet> to Code <AllCapsAlphabet> because we didn't want it to interfere with Dragon's spell<noCapsAlphabet>  command which handles lowercase spelling very nicely. However, when you are dictating a model number, serial number, automobile number etc. you want all capital letters and numbers. When you are spelling a word, you probably want lowercase.

We recommend installing KnowBrainer Commands Updater to get up and stay up-to-date

Hi,

I have not updated my commands file in a while so haven't tried those commands. For Code do you just say "Code abc" to get ABC?

For the Dragon command spell is it listed anywhere because I don't see it?

 

Also when I say spell without seeing anything afterwards it brings up the spell window even though I have unchecked the box in Dragon options "Spell" commands bring up spelling window. 

Any idea how to stop this?


Thanks,
Rob

Actually it depends on the situation if I have notepad or word open and I say "spell" it brings up the spelling window. But effort example I am using Microsoft edge it will bring up the spelling window if I am using the quick reply box on this forum but not the address bar.

Why the inconsistent behaviour?

I disabled the knowbrainer spell command that I have which is old to try this out.

Begin by removing the checkmark from “Spell” commands bring up Spelling Window in your Dragon Options/Correction tab (which is not a default setting).

If you wish to dictate letters in lowercase, use the Dragon spell <letters & numbers> command which you won't find because it is internally hardcoded. Nevertheless, it should work very well. If you need dictate letters in UPPERCASE (typically used for parts and codes), we recommend the KnowBrainer Code <LETTERS & numbers> command.

Hi,

As I said in my post I have already removed the checkmark from "spell" commands bring up spelling window in Dragon options.

It depends on the situation if I have notepad or word open and I say "spell" it brings up the spelling window. But for example I am using Microsoft edge it will bring up the spelling window if I am using the quick reply box on this forum but not the address bar.

Sorry, our previous answer was incomplete. Once you have removed the checkmark, you should be able to say spell <letters> anywhere for direct lowercase single letter dictation but do not say the word spell, by itself, because it will open the Dragon Spell That Window in Microsoft Word and DragonPad. We are not certain why Nuance chose to implement this oddity but it's easy enough to work around; not to mention more efficient. Don't say the word spell by itself because it is an application-specific command. Simply use the more practical Spell <letters> command.
