I did a j-say repair as instructed and it will take some commands and ignore others. I have used this successfully in the past. I can't figure out what is going on. I hope t and t will be able to improve the traing portion. I was going to create a new profile, but the j-say key hung up half way through the training material. I waited a safe four second interval, but this feature has never worked well for me. Will there be an improvement or has it stayed the same in dragon 11.5. I am considering an upgrade, but I would like to see if the problems have been fixed. I increased my accuracy setting and didn't get a long speech lag and things were a little better. Another problem I am now having is when I start to spell something in the correction box, it just echos the first letter. Yes, I have echo and spell turned on. Sometimes, it will silently finish the word and sometimes it doesn't. I find this irritating because I have to use the keyboard. Hope someone on list can help with this.

When I dictate, Dragon is happy. When I say 'move down one', Dragon types it into my document. When I say "press control n" it either ignores me or goes ting. How do I explain that I am commanding???? Thanks,
