Weird problem with HeardWord
Submitted by mdl on Tue, 12/11/2007 - 07:50.
Has anyone seen this problem before?
One of my Vocola macros uses HeardWord(import, commands) to invoke another Vocola macro, import commands.
This stopped working in one of my users (it types "import commands" instead). The analogous command in a DNS Visual Basic macro also won't work for that user only. However, HeardWord "import commands" *DOES* work for that user! Note that the import commands macro works fine in all users.
I've checked my vocabulary, and no, import commands is not a custom word.
Any clue what could have caused this or how to fix it short of creating a new user?

Hello Mark, It is possible,
Hello Mark,
It is possible, I believe, that in some user profile certain phrases are recognized as dictate, instead of a command. Although phrases nearly always draw towards commands if possible. I could think of two things to try:
1. Keep the control button pressed while issuing the command. If that works, after a few times the command will be recognized also without this control button. (The control button forces commands recognition only)
2. Change the original command to for example "Import Commands", and change the HeardWord call accordingly. See what happens.
Success, greetings, Quintijn
"import command" is
"import command" is recognized as a command when spoken but not when passed to HeardWord in one of my user profiles.
Renaming import command to something else does provide a workaround, but doesn't answer my curiosity on how something like this could happen.
