<Sigh> All of those alliterative phrases get mixed up in my mind. <smile>

People are forever asking me how long it will take them to learn JAWS when
using an integrated speech input/speech output system and I'm forever
telling them that they don't need to learn anything about JAWS...just about
J-Say.

Hi Sue

I hope as from this version however you will be saying "cancel that" rather
than "click cancel" (smile).  I am sure you will.

We think it is quite important to teach people to use the J-Say phrasing as
opposed to the Dragon phrasing and I am sure we will be extending this kind
of terminology in the coming versions.  As Terry eloquently said in his part
of the Main Menu presentation, we hope that people will think that they are
using J-Say, as opposed to JAWS and Dragon.  To follow this example a
little, the term "click cancel" means nothing to a blind person because they
do not click anything. However "cancel that" is more effective.

I think that now we have the special command interface in place, and
additional tools such as J-Say contacts, this is the start of working
towards a very dedicated interface for non-visual voice input/output users.

But to return to the original point Chris made, we will certainly look at
this.  We have put in a lot of extra code because there were many situations
(in this varied depending upon the Office version being used) where if you
were dictating in the body field, on exiting the correction box Dragon would
move to an alternative field.  We have tried to put some checks in to
rectify this situation should it happen and I am sure access to the
correction box will be an ongoing issue we will work on in every upcoming
version in some form or another.
