Key Features of Dictation 2005:

• How do I dictate in my own language (with my language fonts) ?
  • Start Dictation (Normal)
  • In Dictation Menu Choose Dictation Options and then check "Apply Pronunciation Filter"
  • Check "Pronunciation only" in Dictation Options.
  • Text Filter is a Glossary you prepare to replace a particular word or words with a specified one. For example you may say "Acme" and have a entry to replace it with "http://www.acme.com/".
  • What is this pronunciation filter ?
    Pronunciation filter is a glossary you prepare to dictate words in your language so that they get displayed in your own language font ( the font must be available on your machine).  For example you may say fill up hehlow (for "Hello") and fill up the entry to replace this pronunciation with ":-)" (assuming that your language uses the characters given to represent Hello)
  • But how do I find these pronunciations ? 
    Simply use the "Start Test" button to Dictate a Pronunciation Entry
  • With this can I built my own language ?
    We don't think a large vocabulary is possible, a small vocabulary can be built for particular words below 100.

• How do I Edit the the Wave To Text Conversion. ?
  After opening a wave file you may edit a conversion as follows ...
  1. During Conversion...
  Please wait until all the words get collected in the left list box of the editor and in the All Words list. You will also see corresponding three possible replacements for every phrase in the other three list boxes on the right side. Choose the correct phrase or use the menu to replace the word for the incorrect phrase.
  2. Click Menu
  Click the left list and you will get the playback menu, replace word menu and reconstruct final text menu for every word and every phrase.

  Use playback menu to play the pre-recorded wave patch for the phrase or the word.
  Use replace word menu to totally replace a incorrect word.
  Remember all your changes can be recompiled using reconstruct final text menu.

  
  3. Use  'Reset' to clean all lists and start again
  4. Use 'Reconstruct' to re-built the edited text any time.
  5. Use 'Read' to read aloud using text to speech voices.
  6. Use 'Save' to save the text as T.X.T file

• Now What is Popcorn Engine ?
  Popcorn Engine uses a Hybrid Engine to convert speech recordings to text. Please visit www.mp3speech.com
• Also...What is MS Word Voice ?
  With Microsoft Office Word Dictation Insertion you can open a new Office-Word document and dictate regularly as you do in the Dictation 2004. You can then format or save the doc file or send it by email. Remember training is essential before you move to MS Word Voice.
• What is Point'n Speak ?
  Now this is a very important feature you must remember. With this you will able to read aloud your mouse pointer targets (especially for the disabled) and /or dictate or command every other standard applications on Windows. We have added a funny innovative feature to this , instead of typing clumsy passwords you may just say a pre-remembered masked keyword and just point your mouse to the edit box (text box) , Point'n Speak will insert your actual password. Like for example for a clumsy password like this one "NTUDWN1038372UUD" you may only remember "Pizza" and just say it after pointing your mouse at the given place. You can also use a complete regular dictation in other applications. Remember training may or may NOT be required before you move to Point'n Speak.
• What is Limited Dictation. What's that?
  That is a custom vocabulary dictation pad where the vocabulary comes from a scripted XML file.
  How do I write such scripts ? read about it further in this documentation.
