NaturallySpeaking to block Vocola and Dragonfly?

I'm not sure that's possible. Seems to me speech activated scripting 
can/might be accomplished easily some other way using DNS. Thinking 
about it lately, there are ways to do useful things with a simple 
hook. Capturing mouse clicks within the current window simply by 
holding control while clicking. Switching windows by title. And 
recording the current mouse location to be replaced at the end of the 
script. To name just a few, probably many more possibilities. 
Switching windows by title might require a code sent at the beginning 
of the text line that is the window title name. Seems like the same 
sort of thing can be used with an ordinary macro recorder playback. 
For example... Holding the control key might force script activation. 
Your hook sees the control key being held and checks to see if the 
input string matches a script name. It would just have to be 
distinguished from accelerator keys. Or something like that. Not sure 
why it has to be so complex as to depend on lots of hooks in the DNS 
code. But for now, it's not a problem.
