[MV] Re: Key Commands in iListen?

[Jonathan Greene]

Chuck,

thanks for the feedback. This solution is what I sort of figured it was 
the way to do this, but I was hoping for something a little more 
simple. It would be great if we can just simply state "do this" and 
have the computer respond as if we had pressed the keys without having 
to create a script. I wonder if there's anything like that the works 
for future versions of iListen?

By the way... I switched to iListen today, after using via voice for 
the last week (I actually used in many months ago as well) and can't 
believe the difference in how well iListen responds on my computer. The 
only real thing viavoice has over iListen is integration of command and 
dictation in a relatively seamless manner.

Thanks,
JG
