Enter numbers in text box
« on: April 05, 2018, 10:49:07 AM »
I am new to VA and want to set it up to work with my CAD programs. I have instances where I need to enter specific numbers in an input box like a dimension field. I need to be able to say "one point two seven five" for example and have the output in the dimension box be 1.275. Is there a way to do this without having to have a quick text input for each number. Doing it that way forces me to wait until the command is finished before the next number can be voiced.

There are two main options: Dynamic command sections, and dictation.

Using dynamic command sections:
Number [0..99].[0..999]
Code: [Select]
Quick Input, '{CMDSEGMENT:1}.{CMDSEGMENT:3}'

Using dictation:
Number *
Code: [Select]
Quick Input, '{CMD_AFTER}'


Dynamic command sections will generate many commands(100,000 in the example given) but will be recognized more accurately, dictation will only generate a single command but likely fail to get recognized sometimes.
