When I am browsing files in XP desktop or file explorer and I say "Move Down 7", it moves down 5 sometimes, 6 other times, and similar with other large numbers. When I tell it to move down 20, it moves down 2. The correct command shows up in a blue box, so when I say "Move Down Ten", "Move down ten" shows in a blue box, but it doesn't move down exactly ten. Any idea what is going on?

Thanks!

It almost seems as if in version 11, there may be a mismatch between the actual current cursor position and what Dragon thinks the position is at times. I notice the same type of behavior when in the spell box, and dictating "backspace 4", for instance, most of the times it will only backspace 3.

However, as far as dictating "move down 20" turning out as "move down 2", that's expected behavior, because in version 11, the maximum range has been set to 19.

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!

Thanks, I updated my info. In general dragon runs much slower on the computer mentioned in my profile (my work computer) then in my home computer. I'm not sure if it is because of all the security stuff running in my work computer, or because once my work computer got bumped around a little in a bag and maybe got hurt, or for some other reason.

I've been playing with it on the work computer again and it has been more accurate in the number of spaces it moves, but I still see errors.

catquas,

I see you have DNS 11.5 Pro.  I have attached the .dat file for "Go Down 20." 

Once imported into your Command Browser, you will be able to say "Go Down <1-20>," "Go Up <1-20>," "Go Left <1-20>" or "Go Right <1-20>." 

This then takes the place of the "move up" etc. etc. command.

This is by courtesy of Chuck Runquist who kindly gave me the.dat command in the first place.

Right click the zip file I have attached to this post and select "save target as" from the menu. Select a destination on your computer that you can easily navigate to. Somewhere like your desktop or your 'My Documents" library. Navigate to that destination you selected on your computer and then open the zip file.  Once opened, this will then show the .dat file. 

Copy and paste the .dat file to a folder location on your hard disk where you can easily find it later from a file dialog box. For example, you might want to save it to your Desktop or to your "My Documents" library.

In Dragon NaturallySpeaking, say, "Open Command Browser," and go to the Manage area. Click Import, and then locate the .dat file on your hard drive and choose it. Work through the dialog box that appears to import this file into your set of Dragon NaturallySpeaking commands.

You should then be ready to go and be able to activate the commands.

Cheers

Catquas, are you actually using DNS Pro? The reason why we ask is because we couldn't find that information in your profile although we see that you are using windows XP Professional. When you're editing your profile, you will see a drop down box that gives you the option to choose the DNS subfamily (Home Edition, Premium, Pro, Legal, Medical). We mention this because if you are not using DNS Pro, you will not be able to import Tiger Feet’s commands because Advanced Scripting commands only work in the professional versions of DNS. However, you can add third-party command utility like KnowBrainer 2011 which includes 11,000 commands including <Up/Down/Right/Left><1-20> along with the ability to create additional Advanced Scripting commands.

As previously mentioned, a bug in NaturallySpeaking limits you to moving up or down 19 rows or characters but it works reliably on our systems. We suspect that your computer might be a little underpowered and further suspect that when you say move down 19 that you can wind up moving down anywhere between 16 and 19 which, unfortunately means that you won't be able to effectively predict this commands behavior.
