I'm sure this subject has come up many times and there is probably some obvious reason for why the proposal I'm going to make hasn't been done, but I'd sure like to know it. I recently began some experimentation with jsay, the commercial program that interfaces with Dragon Naturally Speaking. Although the program has some nice features, I'm not sure it doesn't do far more than it needs to do and I'm troubled by the numerous times it seems to actually slow down my ability to use dragon. I've been a dragon user for a couple of years without jsay or any jaws scripts. Yes, there are features I can't use as I would like, but, I do use the program fairly effectively. What I'd really like are simply a few scripts that allow access to the Dragon bar more easily and to the correction box. Jaws sometimes loses focus and can't read specific information dragon is trying to convey. But, I'm not sure creating an entire interface as jsay does is really the answer. So, I'm wondering why somebody doesn't just create some jaws scripts and sell them for a bit of cash. I think that for the sighted as well as the blind the era is coming when most of us talk to our computers. I don't think that the sighted public will type when there is an alternative. Dragon is much more user friendly than it has been in the past and training that use to be time consuming is now very very quick and easy. Being able to put information on a page at 200 words a minute is really liberating, and I say that as someone who is a pretty fast typist. But, I can't compete with Dragon. Furthermore, there is never a mis-spelled word with Dragon. Yes, there are wrong words, but not mis-spelled ones. Even this wrong word phenomena goes away once one learns how to tell Dragon what you meant. So, are there some scripts out there that I just can't find? Or, are there some reasons that I'm not considering as to why scripts haven't been developed?
