adding to matrices I think is the most important thing. Deleting them is done less frequently and can be worked around
Hi, I keep getting the following error upon launching Dragon:
Ignoring rule 'sublime'. Failed to load with:
init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'use_hardware'
App modules loaded: sumatrapdf
Ignoring rule 'core'. Failed to load with:
No module named integer_internal
Ignoring rule 'ScientificNotebook55'. Failed to load with:

Ignoring rule 'LyX'. Failed to load with:

Ignoring rule 'latex'. Failed to load with:
Ignoring rule 'latex_maths'. Failed to load with:
CCR modules loaded: alias
I have checked that all modules are installed correctly. I have also tried reinstalling DNS and Natlink, as well as all required modules..
Hi @mrob95, I tried that, and with only the new version of dragonfly installed it produces the following error:

Natlink unfortunately doesn't like the 64-bit version
@alexboche sorry for the major delay in responding to your question. My academic life was kind of thrown into chaos around the beginning of May (having major problems getting along with my PhD advisor), and I sort of withdrew from a lot of outside projects and communities. I think I'm back now. Anyway, yes, when I say that I do programming with my eyes, I am using Optikey. If you're curious, it is another really cool project to check out. I actually designed some custom keyboard layouts specifically for programming that are now included in the project.
@mrob95 I just pulled down the latest version of master, and the latex and latex_maths modules are not loading correctly. I'm seeing error messages
Ignoring rule 'latex'. Failed to load with:
Duplicate keys! (line 169 column 1 char 5622)
Ignoring rule 'latex_maths'. Failed to load with:
Duplicate keys! (line 169 column 1 char 5622)I'm going to go take a look at the file and see if I can identify/fix the problem.
@mrob95 Please ignore my previous message. This was a problem with my use of git. Basically, I had added the in-line command, and then I merged in the master branch which also had the in-line command. And instead of a merge conflict I just ended up with two copies. Oops!
@mrob95 Would you be willing to include the tex source for the documentation in the repository (or in a parallel documentation repository)? I am working with the latex commands and have already added several common latex commands that were missing. It would be great if I could modify the documentation at the same time, and then send you a pull request with both updated code and documentation.
@annakirkpatrick Sorry to hear about those issues with your advisor, that sounds difficult. No worries, there is no rush. I haven't been doing mathematical writing recently, but I'll be starting a PhD program in mathematical economics in a couple months so I'll be writing math by voice regularly for many years to come. Would be interesting to see a video of you coding with your eyes sometime if you have time.
At some point,it might be worth compiling a set of mathematical vocabulary words.Someone mentioned there is a way to add words en masse using Natlink. not a priority right now just mentioning it to get it into the general consciouusness. Rüdiger's dragonphrases is another product that mightt be useful for this . other engines will bring new possibilities too
@mrob95 I wanted to check with you on what I think is an omission from the LaTeX module. I don't see any way to dictate the double backslash ('\\') , beyond the brute force way anyway. I see that you do include the \linebreak command, but it is really more of an advanced command for special purposes or power users. I noticed that one of the templates does include the double backslash in a table so I just wanted to check that I'm not missing something here. Thanks!
And I'll add a command for double backslash; it gets used a lot!
in might be good to have the
add_words vocabulary list be a dictionary that has spoken and written forms. I don't know how that works,I think Natlink has a way. Caspark mentioned this (pseudo-?)code on the Talents slack. Not sure does the spoken forms:import natlink
def add_words(words):
for word in words:
known_word = natlink.getWordInfo(word)
if known_word is None:
natlink.addWord(word)
I'll do some research
Dragon is usually reasonably good though at getting the pronunciation right
The Dragon gui lets you import a list (plain text file) of words and phrases with written and spoken form specified. They are separated with a backslash. (And hence you can't add anything that itself contains a backslash. Nope, there is not an escape mechanism. I did check.) Just sharing this in case it gives some insight into what natlink is looking for.
@mrob95 I have implemented the line and command as you suggested, specifically I chose the version with the carriage return as it is common style to include a carriage return in source in this setting. I'm getting the double backslash and carriage return output correctly, but I am also getting a space after the carriage return. Which isn't a huge problem, because LaTeX ignores a lot of the white space details from the source file, but it is annoying if you are trying to keep clean human-readable source . I'm guessing this behavior has to do with inclusion in the section [commandnoarg], as generally putting a space after a command is the desired behavior. Does this may be indicate that the command belongs in another section? Maybe the misc_symbols section? Or is there a better way to handle this?
@mrob95 in the documentation, did you intend to use a long dash for "or" when listing spoken forms? I'm guessing you actually meant |, as that is the character you use in the source. But | needs to be escaped in LaTeX outside of math mode. Since I'm already working on the documentation, I'm happy to fix that issue while I'm at it. Just wanted to be sure I correctly understood your intent before I started making changes.
@alexboche congratulations on getting accepted your PhD program! At the moment, I'm probably not the right person to tell you how great graduate school can be. (I'm still super frustrated with my advisor, but I am slowly working through it.) I do believe it is a worthwhile endeavor though. If I didn't, I would not still be doing it myself!
If I can remember, I will turn on a screen recorder next time I'm using eye gaze for code on my personal computer. It is pretty cool, and totally different than speech to text.

Hope pulling changes isn't causing too much bother
And pulling changes is no biggie. I'm pretty comfortable with git and certainly couldn't suggest an easier way.
np, if you need more flexibility for commands then dragonfly is not at all hard to learn see e.g.
https://github.com/mrob95/MR-caster/blob/master/caster/apps/chrome.py
@mrob95 thanks for the link! Once I get the basics of LaTeX dictation down (both adding commands and getting over most of the learning curve), I am thinking about setting up better integration with vim for easier editing. That looks like a really useful example to work from.
@mrob95 I packaged up my changes so far into a pull request. It's only a handful of commands, but they are significant in terms of usability. I'm sure there will be more as I continue working, but you might as well have these for now.
I get an absurd amount of value out of dragonfly and use it for pretty much everything - text editor commands, programming language commands, math commands, git commands, web browser commands, etc etc
