renee Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 We have recently installed Dragon Speak Preferred on some computers. For $600 more you can get the professional which has macros. Has anyone used this program? Do we need to spend that much extra for their built in macros? thanks for any info - Renee another totally off the topic question: are their classes for ME? My company probably wouldn't send me anyway. Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Renee, A couple of years ago I tested one of the Speech Recognition programs with Macro Express and found that the non-pro version did not allow any macros to run, including Macro Express macros. Macros would run in other programs but not from within the Speech Recognition program. Our research indicated that the program seemed to intentionally disable the keyboard and mouse hooks. We have not retested this nor have we tried other programs. I understand the Windows has some speech recognition capabilities built-in. Has anyone tried this?

meddoc Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Medical and Macro Express together. Some macro functions I use are easier to construct in Macro Express and I just trigger them with voice dictation. I am a non-programmer. I haven't had any problems with the two working together.
