Time for a new thread.   

The old thread is at http://www.knowbrainer.com/forums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=25&threadid=22663

It would be helpful to have a complete list of all the commands each with its own brief description.

It would be helpful if we had a command which gave us access to the font size used by the application in creating the hints. Now that 8K monitors are available <cringe>, but even at 1920 X 1080 the x-small font size is is way too small to read. I found a workaround with a combination of setting Chrome's font size and magnifying the page but this causes other items to be too large for convenience.

Hi Bill,

In order to use it you need to use the KnowBrainer Commands.  I believe they were included in the latest commands released.

Please see the following screenshot, the 2 checked commands are the main ones to use.

Thank you Mark and Lunis!

Now it is working beautifully, much appreciated (if only we could get the selected item to flash orange and blue instead of red and yellow, it would be beyond awesome - I'm kidding, sort of)... but MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY I thank MDL for creating the extension!

For the sake of feedback about updating KnowBrainer commands, Lunis, obviously when I copied and pasted your XML commands file, that wiped out my existing commands, including all of my custom commands. Of course, I anticipated that, and had already saved my commands file, which I then imported the vocabularies in which I know I created custom commands.

But if I'm not mistaken, I think importing my old global vocabulary resulted in adding copies of certain commands, e.g. I noticed some have basically the same command name but with a 2 added. Am I wrong?

My only slight disappointment was that my previously disabled commands did not also import with the vocabularies that I imported. But, thankfully, I only prefer a small group be disabled (the "call" commands, the "close #" commands, the "print #" commands, the hibernate Windows command, the hidden mode command, and the "over" and "over and out" commands).

No worries - thanks!145

First of all a big thank you to mdl. Your excellent work has transformed the way I browse the internet.

You gave an example in the previous cbV thread of how to physicallly move the mouse to the desired element. Here is your code;

include "string.vch";

MoveMouse(hint) := 

Clipboard.Set("xyzzy") 
{ctrl+shift+space} Wait(500) $hint:X {enter} 
Clipboard.WaitForNew("xyzzy",5) 
Mouse.Go(window, Split(Clipboard.Get(),',',0), Split(Clipboard.Get(),',',1)); 

move pick 0..9 [0..9 [0..9 [0..9]]] = MoveMouse($1$2$3$4);

I was able to get it working successfully and it helps enormously for some tricky website menus.

Would it be possible to adapt the above code so that it works without invoking the click by voice entry box ?

spock, the following should work:

MoveMouse(hint) := 

    Variable.Set(chrome:oldClip, Clipboard.Get())

    Clipboard.Set($hint ':X') {ctrl+shift+.}

    Clipboard.WaitForNew($hint ':X',5)

    Mouse.Go(window,  Split(Clipboard.Get(),',',0), Split(Clipboard.Get(),',',1))

    Clipboard.Set(Variable.Get(chrome:oldClip));

Remember that this is experimental and doesn't quite work correctly with some DPI settings / when the browser has stuff like download bar at the bottom.

Yes, Click by Voice rocks! 

I just made an additional DVC list command to quickly scan any Google link I don't trust with virustotal.com

Just say the number of the link followed by: virus total. Examples: "44 virus total", "23 virus total"

Remember that this is a DVC command and the Wait is in milliseconds not seconds. Simply double-click any existing DVC command in your Command Browser and click the Create New button.

Command name:

<1to500> virus total

Script:

SendKeys "{Ctrl+Shift+Space}"

Wait 200

SendKeys _arg1

SendKeys ":k"

Wait 500

SendKeys "{Enter}"

Wait 100

SendKeys "{Ctrl+t}"

Wait 150

SendKeys "https://www.virustotal.com/en/#url"

Wait 200

SendKeys "{Enter}"

Wait 3000

SendKeys "{Tab}"

Wait 400

SendKeys "{Ctrl+v}"

Wait 200

SendKeys "{Enter}"

Perhaps you will have to adjust the Wait times a little with your system.

There is no way to exclude websites; especially if you're using the KnowBrainer Go To <dictation> command unless you remove certain words from your vocabulary. For example, if you say Go To <KnowBrainer> you might wind up at www.nobrainer.au because “KnowBrainer”, by default, is not in your vocabulary. Otherwise you will need to manually blacklist specific websites. Unfortunately, this process is not in our wheelhouse but if you can figure out, the steps that are involved, you can probably create a command to block certain websites.

Alexander,

Sorry about misinterpreting your question. Click by Voice is an all or nothing feature. There is currently no way to isolate specific addresses and you can't even enable/disable Click by Voice without going through the Google Chrome extensions, which is 4 clicks away. We are working on a middle ground numbering variation that will allow you to show or hide numbers. This will also give you the option of creating a command that will allow you to go to a specific website and automatically toggle off numbers. You can optionally create another command that will display numbers when you go to other specific websites but this would involve a fair amount of work. A simple hide and show numbers toggle would probably be preferable. We are planning on doing something along those lines because numbers can really get in your way on certain websites. We are also considering 2 approaches. A single shot approach is currently built into SpeechStart+ and KnowBrainer 2017 now. Just say SHOW Numbers or DISPLAY Numbers to number everything. After you choose 1 of the numbers, all of the numbers disappear.

Yes, disabling the hints per page would be preferred. Until that is implemented in Click by Voice I use the following DVC workaround to relatively quickly disable the extension itself:

Disable Click by Voice

SendKeys "{Ctrl+t}"

Wait 500

SendKeys "chrome://extensions/"

Wait 500

SendKeys "{Enter}"

Wait 500

SendKeys "{Tab 4}"

Wait 500

SendKeys "{Enter}"

Wait 500

SendKeys "{Ctrl+w}"

Wait 500

SendKeys "{F5}"

You can use the exact same command to enable it again.

Note that Tab 4 means that the first extension in the chrome extensions page is disabled. This depends on the order and amount of extensions you have installed.

Also note that this is a DVC command and Wait 500 means 500 milliseconds (in Advanced Scripting it would mean 500 seconds (!)).

Hi. Is there a way to activate links using Click by Voice without bringing up the text box (ctrl+shift+space)? We have a Customer Relationship Management system that opens chrome in app mode which blocks menus and that box.

Additionally, the click by voice numbers keep increasing. That is, the first item in a page is initially "0". But as I make selections using CbV they increase despite being the first item on the page.  

I have a command called "reset numbers" that runs the following code. But it would be better if it automatically did it? I assume I am missing something.

SendKeys "^+{Space}"

Wait .5

SendKeys ":=-{Enter}"

Wait .5

SendKeys "^+{Space}"

Thanks very much.

"Is there a way to activate links using Click by Voice without bringing up the text box (ctrl+shift+space)?"

Yes, see https://github.com/mdbridge/click-by-voice/blob/master/doc/making_voice_commands.md

Copied from mdl's Github page:

"That is, the recommended procedure to send a command cmd to Click by Voice is:

retrieve the current text value of the clipboard, call it clip

set the contents of the clipboard to cmd!!!clip

send synthetic keystrokes for {ctrl+shift+.} to invoke the shortcut"

Is there any way to accomplish this with regular Dragon voice commands (preferably DVC) for non-Python users?

Good question.  I've tried to do this two or three different ways over the last few days, but have had no success, using Advanced Scripting.

I gave an answer for this here:

http://www.knowbrainer.com/forums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=3&threadid=32699&enterthread=y#166967

Also please note that since Windows update 1903 Google Chrome and chromium edge are fully UIA compliant so you don't need chrome extensions any more with applications I developed like knowbrainer, or Speechstart+.  Also bear in mind that click by voice has restrictions (security) on pages like new tabs, settings, not to mention the control menus at the top of the browser blah blah blah.

Having said all of that I like click by voice a lot so would still recommend it for chrome or chromium edge. The other applications could be used for the menus and restricted pages like new tabs or settings for users who have already purchased these applications.

Sorry, must've missed the SendKeys"^+." you were already using in that thread.

Thank you this works a treat!

MDL,

We have just finished rewriting and uploading the KnowBrainer Click by Voice commands to double the executable speed, via your recommendation to change Ctrl+Shift+Space to Ctrl+Shift+. and using Windows clipboard. While doing this, we realized that we might be missing an important feature. Can you tell us if you have written a right-click Hint? If so, we couldn't find it. If not, could you put a right-click on our wish list?

We have also changed the KnowBrainer Click by Voice command naming convention to prevent interfering with other Mouseless Browsing extensions /utilities and enable KnowBrainer to permanently support Click by Voice. This will also make it easier for end-users because the entire Click by Voice command list will be located in the same place. Click by Voice KnowBrainer commands NOW begin with the word Mouse and end-users will be able to find all Click by Voice commands by simply saying Find Global Command <mouse>. You'll find the new Click by Voice command list at the bottom of the KnowBrainer Quickstart

Lindsay/Lunis,

You may want to add a feature that restores previous clipboard contents after issuing the ClickByVoice command. Although the clipboard method is much faster (creating the Advanced Scripting command in KnowBrainer deploys significantly faster compared to the native Dragon Advanced Scripting command btw) it would be convenient if previous clipboard contents (i.e. copied text) would be maintained/restored (as can be done with Vocola, Python and AHK - as demonstrated by PG).

https://speechproductivity.eu

Turbocharge your Dragon productivity with 40+ Power Addons

Thank you for acknowledging how fast it is. Well in that case if you want to return the clipboard to what it was, if you use the <0to9> command as an example then it would be:

Sub Main
myClipboard = Clipboard$
Wait 0.2
Clipboard ListVar1
Wait 0.1
SendKeys"^+."
Wait 0.2
Clipboard myClipboard
End Sub

You may have to adjust the wait times and I have no idea if it would work with all clipboard contents but it does with text at least from quickly testing.

Awesome! Works great with text (not with files but that's less important).

Looks like setting all the waits to 0.1 works reliably.

https://speechproductivity.eu

Turbocharge your Dragon productivity with 40+ Power Addons

Numbers Off and Numbers On for your reference:

Sub Main

SendKeys "^+{Space}"

Wait 0.5

SendKeys ":-{Enter}"

End Sub

Sub Main

SendKeys "^+{Space}"

Wait 0.5

SendKeys ":{+}{Enter}"

End Sub

You could also use the clipboard for doing this instead of the drop down e.g. numbers off: Clipboard ":-"

I'm confused.  I thought the Clipboard also needed to contain the command and "!!!", so to open, say link 76 in a new tab, the Clipboard needed to contain "t!!!76. 

What am I missing?

To open a new tab giving a one digit example using KnowBrainer or advanced scripting you just need to add ":t" after the number in the clipboard. If there is more than one number like 325 then just add the ":t" after the last listvar you are assigning to clipboard like shown below.  Look at readme.md or something like that on gift hub:

Sub Main
myClipboard = Clipboard$
Wait 0.1
Clipboard  ListVar1 + ":t"
Wait 0.1
SendKeys"^+."
Wait 0.1
Clipboard myClipboard
End Sub

Sub Main
myClipboard = Clipboard$
Wait 0.1
Clipboard  ListVar1 + ":t"
Wait 0.1
SendKeys"^+."
Wait 0.1
Clipboard myClipboard
End Sub

Thanks!  I did read the GitHub documentation, but read the instructions here differently:

https://github.com/mdbridge/click-by-voice/blob/master/README.md

No problem Matt. Are you the same Matt (lawyer I think) who has been on the forum for quite a few years going way back? Or is it just a name coincidence?

I am that Matt! Not quite the same, in that I have retired from practicing law and am only doing some part-time consulting. I didn't really have any need for Dragon until recently, when the consulting required quite a bit of writing. I am sorry to say that my Advanced Scripting skills have atrophied.

I dug out my old commands and imported them into Dragon 15. I still have some that are based on commands you wrote. I have other commands that I apparently wrote myself, but confuse me these days! I am slowly reacquiring my skills.

Well Matt I always had you down as one of the best scripters on the forum going way back so get the polish out, good to see you back again!

Thanks!  Seems like a long time ago.

Has anybody experienced an issue where all of the numbers appear on the webpage as they should, however neither of the extension's hotkeys work? {Ctrl+Shift+Space} simply toggles a gray circular background behind the extension's icon, while {Ctrl+Shift+.} doesn't appear to have any visible effect. I am still trying to figure out when exactly this occurs and how I fix it each time (usually a reinstall, however I think that sometimes the issue persists for a little beyond even that).

Update: reinstalled and it is working again. Will be paying more attention to see if I can figure out what (a specific theory site?) is breaking it.

And another reason is that Firefox is much better for user privacy than Chrome.  The new Microsoft Edge may be good on privacy, but I think it’s too early to tell.  

Mark, I haven't worked with the clipboard myself in Firefox extensions, but I found this detailed (and up-to-date) documentation for you:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Interact_with_the_clipboard

I was hoping to tweak Click by Voice to display numbers over buttons. In this page, you can see that the buttons have an image placed over them.  the images are pretty much teh same size as teh buttons.

When the screen is rendered, i can briefly see the numbers in square brackets before the image is drawn for the button. I tried changing the z-order for the text in the that encoded thes the number, it doesn't do anything.

Anyone have any idea on how to modify the CSS for the span in this case (child of a button) so that it is always visible?

We believe MDL released Click by Voice as a quick but limited way to use in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Considering that he made his technology freeware and doesn't even ask for a donation, we owe him a great deal of thanks. With this in mind, we may not be able to expect much more.

We are mentioning this because several organizations are working on a faster, global and far more flexible/adjustable numbering approaches that should become available in early fall. We recommend waiting...

Hi,

Is there a command that will open a link in a new tab but keep the focus on the original tab? I know I can work around that with an extra step in the voice command but was just wondering if there is an option for that in click by voice?

Also has anyone noticed that when in the messenger section of Facebook on Microsoft edge most of the page links do not get numbered in the modern view of Facebook which will soon be the only view of Facebook since they are getting rid of the classic view in September?

In the classic view of Facebook in the messenger section everything gets numbered even the menu where you select emojis.

I really don't like that new Facebook UI, but I'm afraid we have no choice because switching back to Classic View is no longer possible beginning September.

Indeed ClickByVoice doesn't seem to have access to the main Facebook menu items on top of the page. I really hope this can be fixed.

Luckily VoiceComputer and SpeechStart+ still work with Facebook.

Hi,

I don't mind the new Facebook UI apart from click by voice not working with it. I've not tried voice computer yet I did try their chrome extension on Edge but it didn't seem to work https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/intag-chrome/bdnfddhnghbkmplgkbihnfhndbngjdnf it said to press the backtick key or ctrl + backtick to show the numbers but nothing happened.

Has it worked for anyone else on Edge? Or do you need to have voice computer?

Thanks,

Rob

Dragon Professional Group 15.71 with knowbrainer 2017 professional and speech start.

You are correct the extension doesn't seem to work with the most recent version of Edge anymore. However if you use VoiceComputer it is no longer needed because the standard Intags work very sufficient in every browser:

Update on the VC Intag Chrome extension. It most definitely does work but I forgot to disable ClickByVoice extension and remove its voice commands from my Dragon Command Browser before testing VC Intag Chrome extension :-(.

https://speechproductivity.eu

With voice computer, do you have to say "show inTags" or whatever the command name is to show the numbers again in the browser, after each number selection or would it stay on like click by voice, renumbering the new links ready for selection again unless it is toggled off?

Thanks,
Rob

Dragon Professional Group 15.71 with knowbrainer 2017 professional and speech start.

In VoiceComputer the intags automatically relaunch (refresh) after you have issued a specific number. That's the whole idea behind it. You'll soon get tired of having to say "show numbers" all the time.

However the VC intags of course need a fraction of a second to refresh, which is a slightly different process compared to the tagging in ClickByVoice and other HTML numbering extensions (which will usually tag the entire web page, including the sections that are not yet in view, like a very long Facebook page).

If you study the VC XML command files somewhat you'll find that you can easily modify names of existing commands or add new commands to the file. I added a whole bunch of them like properties <number>, add to archive <number>, extract <number>, open with <number>, control click <number> etc..

If you talk to your computer all day it is crucial to say the absolute minimum when it comes to commands you use a gazillion times a day. Hands-free users are already at risk of developing Voice Strain. That's why I renamed the default VC command names:

Show Numbers

Hide Numbers 

into simple:

Yes

No

This is what those sections now look like in the VC displaynumbers.xml:

<command type="vp-script">

        <name>

        <![CDATA[yes]]>

        </name>

        <actions>

        <customoverlay action="close" />

        <wait ms="500"/>

        <numbers action="display" />

        </actions>

        </command>

and:      

 <command type="vp-script">

        <name>

        <![CDATA[no]]>

        </name>

        <actions>

        <numbers action="close" />

        </actions>

        </command>

With a little more studying you will find that the VC XML files give you a lot of possibilities to create your own custom <numbers> commands for performing all kinds of mouse actions. Like for instance the VC script that is added to the SP Press Utility (now part of SP 6 PRO) where the voice command is Press <number> (i.e. "Press 15", "Press 24") to drag desktop items around by voice:

<command type="vp-script">

        <name>

        <![CDATA[press <1to300cf>]]>

        </name>

        <actions>

        <overlaymouseaction action="move" numbers="_value1"/>

        <wait ms="700"/>

        <mimic phrase="Press" />

        </actions>

        </command>

Dilligence,

I developed a monitor-independent way of simply creating mouse-positioning commands remotely that does not require number choosing methods such as Show Numbers, or Click-By-Voice (or variations), or mouse grids, and is independent of monitor size, resolution, or scaling. If you send me an image of something that I am not likely to have, I can create commands to demonstrate proof of concept and sent these back to you. I will send you a private message with my contact info.

MDH,

I sent you some screenshots yesterday (less known applications). However I now attached two others where I'm using Eviacam. I would particularly be interested in using your mouse position commands for its windows because I never managed to approach them reliably with mouse position commands before. There is something different about the Eviacam window.

I frequently need to get into its WebCam settings because they are often reset after Windows reboot (I want the frame rate to always be set to 30 for smooth performance) and therefore I have to manually uncheck some boxes which is a real pain in the keister.

Yes, Eviacam is very precise. Not sure about pixel precision though, have never managed to keep my head still enough to move just one pixel

It really is important that you set your WebCam frame rate to 30 frames per second (that means disabling things like: white balance, saturation, backlight compensation etc..

The general advice I can give though is to use HeadTracking with care and not all the time, particularly if you are prone to neck pains. The same by the way, goes for foot pedals (which can easily injure your knees if you use them too much).

Also, don't know if anyone else has noticed, when trying to put an image in a private message it looks like it will send correctly but when it just shows a link tag that can't be clicked like this but with a little icon before it http://www.knowbrainer.com/for.../UserImages/1/rob.jpg" alt="" />

But I seem to be able add a link to the same pic in the forum no problem. Actually I think the problem was with adding an image to the private message and not linking to it.

Thanks,
Rob

Rob,

Thanks for your feedback--much appreciated.

I know how to "activate" the Click by Voice extension with a keyboard shortcut, but I don't know how to "deactivate" it, that is to turn off the numbers on my screen. I mostly want them there but there are times when I'm doing lots of reading, or the occasional times I have to interact with Gmail in the browser form that the numbers get in the way.

Is there a quick way to hide the numbers as well?

Thanks,

Dan 

Begin by opening your browser Extensions and moving the Click by Voice slider to the left. You will have to close and relaunch your browser for the change to take effect. The following is copied from Google Chrome

As you likely know, the keystrokes ":+" are used to show hints (turn on the numbers).  The keystrokes ":-" are used to hide hints.  I hope that helps.

To elaborate further on Todd's answer and presuming you have set the click by voice keyboard shortcut for activate to Ctrl + Shift + Period, of course you can make this a list command if you wish.

Clipboard ":-"

Wait 0.1

SendKeys"^+."

End Sub

NUMBERS ON

Clipboard ":+"

The click by voice extension will not number menu controls at the top of the chrome browser and neither will it number secure chrome pages like settings, new tabs. You can use Speechstart+ to do this although presently you will have to issue the Show Flags/SHOW Numbers command individually. Speechstart+ will also number the context menus.

We will have a new product soon called PCbyNumbers which will number absolutely everything automatically.

Thank you for the advice here. I would very much prefer to create a speech command rather than having to manually turn off the extension by using the slider – that's more hand activity for me. However I'm having an issue. This is what the keyboard shortcuts are for Click by Voice (I had to change the first one because it was activating another extension I use for work that had the same keyboard shortcut).

However, when I press Control + B, I get a little pop up underneath the CBV extension at the top of the Microsoft Edge bar which says "Hint number to activate". It doesn't actually make any of the CBV numbers disappear or appear.

Also, I tried using Lindsay's script and changing it to my keyboard shortcut but nothing seems to happen in Edge. Any suggestions?

Brooklyn cabin we made your picture a little smaller, to fit it into your message. We make pictures smaller by pasting them in Microsoft Word, changing the size, right-clicking on the picture, copying to the clipboard and pasting it into the message. You don't even need to go through the attachment mwnu unless you make the fatal mistake of editing your message, which we do all the time

We want to let everyone know that we just added Numbers On and Numbers Off application-specific commands for Microsoft Edge and Chrome. The other bookmark commands are already available. If you are using KnowBrainer 2022, you can add the latest commands via the KBCommandsUpdater

I have been using the DVC Disable/Enable Hints for Click By Voice successfully for many years.

I attached the commands.

Brooklyn just leave the extension enabled so that the numbers appear whenever you load chrome and when you want to get rid of the numbers you just send the following script. When you want to click on an actual number how you doing that? Are you activating the extension every time by pressing Ctrl+B and then typing in the number because there are a lot easier ways to do that with a list script.
