If this is true, maybe you should start by learning whom to trust. I think I told you about a week ago, didn't I, and we also talked off-line. My answer back then was that, starting with version 10, as much as about 150,000 words can be added to the vocabulary, and this is independant of memory or whatever crap you have been told.

However, since that didn't seem to make you believe it, I made the effort to overload an English user profile with a list of German words containing about 217,000 items, just to make sure the effect would show. It almost took an hour trying to add that many words, but when it was done, this was what it says:

But how could I know that it would end up with as much as about 150,000 words being added when doing it this way? Well, like I said, there is method of retrieving the value that you can use if you are any familiar with the SDK, and it can be done writing a simple script, like this (provided you have referenced the Dragon VocTools library):

As you can see in here, there is a property called "WordFreeSpace" which, when called, will do exactly this, tell you how many words can be added at maximum that is. When running the above script, this is what you get:

Well, it's past the point where we can make any changes in the code, but we can still make changes to the Easter Egg!

Rüdiger,

interesting macro.

Would you be so kind as to sending the script in the main window in a text document or something in this thread that can be directly highlighted and copied.  I cannot quite make out the wording from the actual image you sent in your post.

Also, please could you confirm that the title below needs to be checked in references for this script.  

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Vocabulary Tools (1.0)

I noticed you left the command name blank.  Is that because you can name it anything you want?

Cheers

Tiger Feet,

just watch your e-mail.

That's correct.

It's up to you what to name it. However, when writing scripts for testing purposes and when I don't really want to save them, I just run/play them from within the commands editor, by clicking the green arrow in the symbol bar (or pressing F5), whenever possible.

Yes, very cool script Rüdiger.

I gave it a name.  "word free space."  Now when I say that phrase, the little window with the amount of how many words I can add pops up.

The amount of words my one is showing I can add is 151096

Cheers Rüdiger

Tiger Feet,

The difference between your results and mine may be because you are using a UK English user profile, whereas I was using a US English one. With a German user profile, the value is just different once again.

Also, please keep in mind that the value being retrieved is just the total maximum amount of words (also including words from the backup dictionary) that can be added before you hit the ceiling, and therefore doesn't indicate how much you have left to add.

The whole purpose of showing this was just to demonstrate that effectively and realistically, there is no reason to be afraid of running out of space as far as the vocabulary.

Ah, I understand perfectly well now Dr Wilke :-)

I absolutely trust what you told me.  I had sent this question to Nuance about the same time I posted here, it just took them awhile to respond.

The response about RAM just sounded wrong to me, which is why I posted it here.

Thanks to you, I now have everything I need.

 

 

Very cool script Dr Wilke! Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Correct me if I am wrong but I seem to recall that Voctools was not included in DNS11 although it was in previous versions.

Is this why this script will not work for me?

Jomark

John,

this is partially correct. Since version 11, the VocTools utility (the executable) has been dropped, except for the Legal edition as far as I know, however, the DLL is still around, and it must be referenced in order for the script to work. So this missing is maybe why it didn't work for you? Just go up to one of Tiger Feet's postings above.
