[MV] Using iListen to open applications

[Chuck Rogers]

Tara:

Make sure you don't move the cursor or change the formatting in your  
document before you employ Correction. In the Correction window,  
there is a "No Spaces" button you can use. Information on how and  
when to use this can be found on page 22 of the User's Guide, which  
can be found inside the Documentation folder, which is in the  
MacSpeech folder inside the Applications folder on your hard drive.

The command to "switch" to another application is simply "Open." So  
say "Open Mail." If it is not open, it will launch. If it is already  
running, it will come to the front.

To create a command for Firefox, either create a new Global set (you  
could all it "My Globals"), or create a new Command in the Voice  
Launcher set, then drag the icon for Firefox into the content area of  
the new command. iListen will write the script for opening the  
application. Name it "Open Firefox." Close the window, press the  
"Save" button and you are done. (You must be using version 1.6.8 for  
this to work, we just introduced this feature.)

The ease of creating commands and the degree to which you can control  
things are one of the advantages iListen has over Dragon  
NaturallySpeaking.

You can find more information and assistance regarding iListen in our  
online Knowledgebase. To get there, click the word "Support" on the  
top of any MacSpeech web page, then click the link to the  
Knowledgebase. You can also create a support ticket there with any  
questions you may have.
