Dragon's Hippocampus

Features

Switcheroo Task Switching
Assign nicknames to windows for intuitive and rapid switching between windows. Switching between complex multi-window applications becomes trivial.

Auto-sleep timer
Places the microphone into sleep mode after an adjustable period of voice inactivity. Very handy if you walk away from the computer and leave the microphone on.

Hippo Macros
Create script macros on the fly. You can then play (execute) the macro an arbitrary number of times. Very handy for tedious repetitive editing and open tasks requiring repetitive operations.

Hippo Variables
Free-form structure to store variables (or other bits of dictation) organized into groups. Global voice commands are generated on-the-fly allowing you to insert difficult to dictate strings.

Extendable support for nearly any application

Support for applications can be extended or added simply by editing or creating a text file. The configuration file can be rather scary looking but by skillfully using copy and paste you can build a lot of voice commands in a short period of time.

Folder Shortcuts
Quickly and easily build the list of folder shortcuts using only voice commands. Locate the folder using Windows Explorer. Then say "create folder shortcut" or "make shortcut". Those hard to dictate folder pathnames will be copied and pasted into the Folder Shortcuts dialog ready for naming.

Once a folder shortcut has been created, new voice commands will be built based on your shortcut names.

Windows File Dialog support
Most Windows standard file open and file save dialog boxes are enhanced somewhat. There are voice commands to navigate the folders and buttons and select the file list pane. This provides some relief to the more difficult to navigate by voice file open dialog boxes.

Enhanced Text Editing Voice Commands
Powerful global editing and selecting text commands.

Replacement for the Dictation Box
Replaces the built-in dictation box with a more flexible version. The new dictation box is fully customizable and is global command friendly.

Customize any window
NaturallySpeaking.s behavior can be customized on a window by window basis. Customization may include sticky size and position information, shortcut name and other options.

Intelligent handling of Internet Explorer Bookmarks
Surf to any of your bookmarks by uttering a single command.

Eg. .surf to google. would open Internet Explorer (or other browser) and navigate to the web page. (if .google. is defined as a bookmark that is) Booksmarks are read and custom voice commands created upon program startup.
