I've  been sitting on the code for this for some time now, originally I planned to bundle this with QuickSwitch professional, but the probability of releasing that is pretty slim, so I’m releasing DNS Notifications for free.

This tool is designed to solve one itch – that is to be able to see the text messages from the dragon bar, without having to have the dragon bar visible.

With DNS Notifications, you can run NaturallySpeaking with the Dragon bar in tray icon only mode, but informative messages such as “dictating to a nonstandard window” will show up as a balloon tips.

There is also the ability to hide messages:

 

Feedback is welcome.

I've been having some hangs as well, and I have not been using macros that use TTS playback. For some reason, the problem seems worst to me when I am trying to use Microsoft Word (Office 2000 version). I'm running Windows 2000 and NaturallySpeaking version 9.

Thanks for the feedback. 

I discovered this morning that I have problems with it too. Although it works just fine on my home machine, it completely hangs DNS on my work PC.

Further investigation is needed...
