I’ve noticed that Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9.5 is very slow in Notes 8.0.2 (I can’t be sure about the other versions of 8.x).
It was very fast in Notes 7.
Now I dictate to notepad then paste it into Notes.
It might be the spell checker - but I wouldn’t want to turn that off.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Subject: Dragon NS 10 & Notes 8.0.2
Following up from previous messages about Dragon NaturallySpeaking and Lotus Notes version 8.0.2 – our experience has been that there are two areas of difficulty with using Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
The first difficulty is that unlike previous versions of Lotus Notes, version 8 is inconsistent in its display/interpretation of Alt key combinations. A single press of the Alt key will display the table numbers on the client screen, but a second press will shift the focus to the standard Windows menu. This means that Alt key combinations selected by using the AltKey and AltDragonKey commands can produce apparently random results.
The second problem is much more difficult to analyse. It appears that when the Dragon commands are processed for different points of focus on the Notes client screen, the rate of import from the Dragon macro commands can vary wildly, with some keys in the string being omitted and other keys repeating as it is a keyboard key was held down for repeating import.
An example: {SendKey}“Hello world” might result in “Heellll0 wrldd”.
Sometimes the effect as if the key strokes are arriving faster than the buffer can accept them, while at other times Wait commands must be inserted to allow the notes client to catch up.
Certainly, the current combination is functionally useless and requires urgent investigation by the Notes development team to identify what is fundamentally changed between release 7 and 8 with respect to script import.
