Dragon NaturallySpeaking pretending to be in normal mode while seemingly in command mode

0

This happens quite frequently: I am using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, the DragonBar says I am in normal mode, but when trying to dictate only voice commands are recognized.

When the problem appears, I don't see anything weird that happened in the recognition history window. Also, the problem seems to appear only in some specific windows such as a TakaoTalk chat window or the dictation box (that's annoying…).

Any idea what can cause the issue and how to circumvent it?

I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.5 Professional with Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate.

In normal mode, Dragon naturally speaking do both dictation and run voice commands . It happened to me so often. However, whenever I need to work on dictations I better just stick to Dictation Mode. If your purpose is just dictation then please stick on Dictation Mode. For me, Normal Mode always mix up commands with dictations. If you just need to run commands then stick on Command Mode. This way you can avoid this mess.

Thanks. Unfortunately I do rely on commands pretty much all the time so the dictation mode is quite impractical for me :( – Franck Dernoncourt – 2015-01-27T20:45:07.573

So better stick to command mode :) – muhammad tayyab – 2015-01-27T20:45:42.340
