![]() It's far from ideal if you must press the Fn key to access a frequently-accessed hotkey. Perhaps this would be a good reason for one of those big buttons, like īut it would still be nice to set it absolutely as opposed to toggling Although I don't have anything bound to Ctrl+SpaceBar at the moment. (Or perhaps it is my existing bindings for SpaceBar getting in the way. ![]() If there were a key sequence that reliably turn the Dragon microphone off rather than toggle it I might bind it to something like Ctrl+SpaceBar.īut I see that Dragon's HotKey system seems to disallow me binding to Ctrl+SpaceBar. (I use compact keyboards, because the reduced size reduces reach required, helping hand pain for when I still have to type. I need to type Fn to get a virtual number pad out of the QWERTY keys. I might try remapping it to something easier to type, but my standard go to easier to type key is spacebar. One of the problems I have with the default Dragon NumKey+ for toggle microphone on/off is that on my keyboard NumKey+ is actually Fn+P - i.e. I thought perhaps I could just make CapLock into the press to talk hotkey, but that does not seem to work. Although that might be because I have other hotkeys hooked to CapsLock via AHK indeed, I have things hooked to double and triple clicking of CapsLock. Isn't that what press the talk provides? Much of the time when I'm speaking I am not actually close to a keyboard. I do not want to have to hold a key down all the time that I'm talking. I did not quite understand what you said, though, about press to talk. This is a generic problem with keys that toggle a setting or cycle through a set of values, as opposed to setting it absolutely to on, off, or an explicit value. Originally posted by: PG LTU If you want to save a hotkey, the Push-to-Talk Dragon hotkey, if and when assigned, also turns off the mic when that button stops being pushed so you can press it like the Mic on/off button and know you are turning it off for sure (whereas the Mic on/off toggle button actually sometimes turns the mic on - e.g., when it is already off but you didn't know it). I would much rather use the mute button on the headset than have to say "microphone off", and, worse, click the DragonBar or use the hotkey to turn it back on.ĭPG15.6 (also DPI 15.3) + KB, Sennheiser MB Pro 1 UC ML, BTD 800 dongle, Windows 10 Pro, MS Surface Book 3, Intel Core i7-1065G7 CPU 1.3/1.5GHz (4 cores, 8 logical, GPU=NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 with Max-Q Design. (b) muting using the button on the headset. (a) putting my headset on his charging stand (Sennheiser, per sig) I wonder if other ways of supposedly disabling speech have problems similar to sending the microphone to sleep: (Shoot, I said "goto sleep" as above, and it took 15 seconds to respond to "wake up". I have probably run into this a few times. I'm going to try to train myself not to say "go to sleep". Q: has anyone written code to automatically turn Dragon "microphone off" if no speech has happened or greater than five minutes perhaps? If you definitely don't use it for any amount of time lasting longer than 15 minutes perhaps, you should always turn the microphone completely off.Īnd, indeed, people say this all over the place now that I'm looking for it. Many people saying "we don't need such a mic off timeout - we just hold PTT". Plus, the oneshot script is also suitable for invocation in otherr circumstances, e.g. ![]() Splitting like this seems to reduce hangs related to thre COM object. I hesitate to call this a BKM - would be better to set a timer in a speech event, rather than polling periodically - but good enough for now.Ģ/282/2022 - since some folk other than myself have started using my script, I mentioned that my current version splits the script into a persistent AHK script that polls in a timer handler to see if Dragon might by asleep WITHOUT USING the COM OBJECT, and a second script, oneshot non-persistent, that is kicked off if the first heuristic indicates, which actually checks the COM object. Leverages Dragon's existing "Put the microphone to sleep after _ minutes". : posted s simple AHK script that polls the mic state, and turns off if asleep. Placing it at the top to make it easy to findĪt the time written nobody volunteered any already written "turn mic off after N minutes" code. Has anyone written a timeout command to turn the Dragon mic off?
