There are times when it might be nice to allow any word to be recognized in a phrase. Consider the task of creating a recognition phrase that allows you to add items to a grocery list; without dictation, you would need to create a phrase for every item you might want to add to the list. Using dictation, you can speak any word. To mark a word as a dictation word, use the tag: <DICTATION/> Here is a phrase that will add any item to a grocery list:
Add <DICTATION/> to the grocery list
Note that the above command will only allow a single word to be added to the list. To add multiple words, use:
Add <DICTATION/>+ to the grocery list
See the shopping_list.txt script for an example. This script can optionally use dictation.
You will probably need a 800MHz or faster computer to use dictation as it requires a fast CPU.
The "shopping_list.txt" script is located in the SCRIPTS folder in the HomeSeer program folder (located at C:\Program Files\HomeSeer 2\scripts by default).
