 | I am asking this again because I believe it illustrates that some of
the regulars in here are spammers who, when the opportunity arises,
prey on people who need speech-recognition in order to use a
computer. That is vicious IMO since they are preying on some who are
severely disabled. As far as I can tell, those regulars usually do
not pay attention to the poster's problem, instead they immediately
try to sell their soundcards and microphones. Some users might need
better hardware, some might not.
The subject of this post is not a major problem for me, but I think
it illustrates the problem mentioned above.
Here goes.
I find myself wanting to stop speech-recognition from time to time.
Usually that is when I notice NaturallySpeaking paying attention when
I wish
it weren't. So I press the key to turn off the microphone but the
thing continues processing what it is hearing. I doubt
it, but is there a way to get its attention immediately and force
recognition/processing to stop?
This is how to test, assuming keypad plus causes microphone off.
.... begin dictating
.... while you are continuously dictating, press keypad plus
.... after a few more words, stop dictating
The spammer(s) say that NaturallySpeaking stops listening immediately
when they press keypad plus. Well, any reader/user can see for
himself (or herself). If your software listens to the rest of your
continuous dictation before the microphone icon turns off, you can
tell that they are just spammers who could not care less about
solving your problems.
Martin Markoe probably is the best example. If you search the Usenet
archives, you will find that his only purpose on Usenet is to sell
products in this group. Spamming is all he has ever done on Usenet,
and he has never ventured from this group/outlet for his products.

Hmm. There are speech recognition vendors who care about and work with
people with disabilities. They try to help them get by on a day to day
basis or better yet into the mainstream to be self sustaining. Help has
many faces. However, does who do not want help are the most severely
disabled.

I think you may have finally made yourself clear enough to understand
the problem you are having. Let me see if I can reword it and you tell
me if this is what you mean? You are dictating, you stop dictating, you
forget to turn off the microphone, the microphone still picks up sounds
(your voice or whatever noise is around you) and the software continues
to struggle to figure out the words out of the what to it is
meaningless jibberish. If this is the case, then no, you can not stop
the processing in any normal way. What you can do is open taskmanager,
and end the NaturallySpeaking process. Of course that will close the
program and that may be less desirable than waiting for the speech
recognition system to finish processing.

Interesting, you know my name, what is your name? A search of Google
will find me helping people on a myriad of Forums and User Groups.
These are not places you could post because your rudeness would not be
tolerated in any of those places. You would be banned for the infantile
behavior you exhibit.
This message was written in good faith in an effort to help you. Please
take it as such. If you do, you get to be respected and join a
community of people on the forefront of an esoteric computer field.
Sincerely,
Martin Markoe

Yes, I think he's got it.

Mr. John (the idiot) Doe, I just tried to reproduce the problem you
mentioned. I found that DNA kept listening until there was a pause in
my speech and then shut off the mike immediately. Have you installed
the sp1 and sp2 upgrades to DNS7? Do you have a legitamte copy of
DNS7? Perhaps you might try the "go to sleep" and "wake up" commands
to control the mike.

You just graduated from speech-recognition to problem recognition.
Congratulations.

And just think, if only you had made yourself clear and described the
situation the first time, we would not have all had to guess what the
problem you are having is. You can avoid the problem by turning off the
microphone when you're finished dictating.
