Hello, I wait and see how the community response before I did. I do not believe the questions were completely answered. This is being sent in multiple parts because my first response was too large and was rejected. > On Sep 15, 2009, at 7:46 PM, cool at hosting4days.com wrote: [snip...] > - also if I place the cursor somewhere -- an attempt to hit return > -- very often it will turn the text to gobbledygook in that area... > > it always does this > What you describe above is definitely a limitation in version 1.3 in Notepad. Our focus with Notepad in version 1.3 was dictation not typing. This problem has definitely been fixed in version 1.5. Our focus with Notepad is still dictation but now we are accommodating other forms of input. > > [snip...] > Q: can you now dictate text in to dictate notepad -- then manually > place the cursor anywhere - make whatever modifications you desire > -- and then put the cursor - anywhere and continued dictating? Yes, I believe it has. Here is some text that came from Notepad. It is a combination of dictation and typing, moving the cursor by voice, moving the cursor by keyboard, moving the cursor by mouse and making changes with either keyboard or dictation depending upon my mood. (after responding to your specific interest in the capabilities of Notepad, I went on and perform similar activities in both TextEdit and Microsoft Word. You can see the results below. These selections were copied from the target windows and pasted into this mail message using verbal commands) The text copied from NotePad will be in the next message. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
