Transferring Text to Other Applications
If you have supported applications installed on your computer, you can transfer the text
in your SpeakPad document, whether dictated or typed, by using a command for
transfers.
1. SAY > TRANSFER TO <Application Name>.
For a list of supported transfer applications, see the What Can I Say window.
2. The entire document or text you select is transferred to the application you specify in
the voice command.
3. After transferring your text, return to the SpeakPad window to continue dictating,
make corrections, save the text, or close SpeakPad. You can specify the transfer text
settings from the Other tab in SpeakPad Preferences.
For more information, see "SpeakPad Preferences" on page 60.
Using Dictation Stream Redirection
Another method for dictation allows you to open and use another application to
dictate directly into it. The process of dictating into one of these programs
instead of using SpeakPad is called Dictation Stream Redirection. When
dictating directly, you can dictate into any text field area of a supported
application that will accept typed keystrokes.
Although correction and some voice commands are only supported when you dictate into
SpeakPad, your level of familiarity with another application may be the deciding factor
as to which method you use.
ViaVoice recognizes words using their sounds and their context with other words.
Remaining silent or pausing while waiting for words to appear may prevent ViaVoice
