Re: Speech activated scripting without Natlink...

As Mark Lillibridge pointed out (the obvious), the major drawback of 
sticking a simple macro recorder on the dictation output of speech 
recognition is losing the benefit of a much constrained command 
vocabulary. In other words... Regular dictation requires a relatively 
huge vocabulary. Command is a very small vocabulary. Therefore 
command can be much more accurate.

Still, there would be benefits. No need for Natlink. Being able to 
use a simple macro recorder. Being able to force dictation 
recognition (in US English) by simply holding the control key. 
Windows 8 would be usable with DNS.

And maybe I can adjust. By making my commands more English-like.

One thing I really don't understand is why repetition has to be 
predefined. If you don't use numbers as command names, and you 
shouldn't anyway, you can simply speak a number after a command to 
designate how many times (if any) that command should be repeated. 
Or, there should be a keyword that designates repetition, like 
"times". If you want to repeat a command, you simply say "times" and 
a number.
