Does the dictation box exist in Italian or other languages?

MultiLingual

For some reason, my English manual says nothing about the dictation box. Not surprisingly therefore, I can find nothing about it in the Italian manual.

My question is therefore directed specifically at owners of the Italian version, assuming it does exist, what is the Italian equivalent of the "Show dictation box" command?

Alternatively, can anyone confirm that it exists in other languages?

Thanks

I can't confirm for languages other than English but there are several references to Dictation Box in the English Help files.
You might try looking under the Italian equivalent of "Select and Say Tips" or "Dictating in nonstandard windows".
Presumably you have looked in the Command Browser.
There are only six entries in English containing the word "dictation". five of which refer to "Dictation Mode". The other is "Show dictation box.

The dictation box does exist

The dictation box does exist in the Dutch version: "open dicteervenster".

In the dutch help files it is mentioned for example in the parts "tips voor Select-and-Say" and "Dicteren in een niet-standaardvenster" which translate loosely to "suggestions for Select-and-Say" and "Dictation in a non-standard window".

Thanks to you both, I was

Thanks to you both,

I was able to find it, in Italian it is the "dictation window" - finestra di dettatura - and this had thrown me as I was looking for "casella" in the Command Browser. Anyway, we have been spoilt for choice with no less than six options, all of which I have successfully tested:

esegui la finestra di dettatura
mostra la finestra di dettatura
apri la finestra di dettatura
eseguire la finestra di dettatura
mostrare la finestra di dettatura
aprire la finestra di dettatura

I do hope the dictation box will make its way into the manual when version 9 eventually comes out.

Talking of undocumented commands, I also managed to find the equivalent of "make that a phrase", again there are numerous possibilities of which the most literal is:

"aggiungere questo come frase"

Thanks again
