there is the advice

and, indeed, people say this all over the place now that I'm looking for it.

Q: has anyone written code to automatically turn Dragon "microphone off" if no speech has happened or greater than five minutes perhaps?

--

I have probably run into this a few times. I'm going to try to train myself not to say "go to sleep".

(Shoot, I said "goto sleep" as above, and it took 15 seconds to respond to "wake up".  That's annoying.)

I wonder if other ways of supposedly disabling speech have problems similar to sending the microphone to sleep:

(a) putting my headset on his charging stand (Sennheiser, per sig)

(b) muting using the button on the headset.

I would much rather use the mute button on the headset than have to say "microphone off", and, worse, click the DragonBar or use the hotkey to turn it back on.
