I just tried it and I'm getting "sorta works" results. I have a dual-core Pentium E5700 with 4 GB DDR3, Asus P5G41T-M LX (LGA775) mobo, a 60GB SSD for the OS and a 1.5TB Seagate hard disk for data, PCIe video card, Win 7 Home Premium 32-bit and Dragon 11.5 Home. Although it is recognizing speech in text fields, it's only picking up some of the words. For instance, I spoke, "This is a test to see if Dragon can pick up my speech at a reasonable rate" and it typed "this is to see if at a reason" (although I spoke slightly slower than normal, which is not normally required when using Dragon). The entire sentence comes out fine dictating directly into FireFox here with Sesame running.
I'm not using any memory or CPU-intensive programs (except Dragon). The hardware and software I'm running is a bit souped up compared to a recent office PC.
I just tried
all of these programs in the order listed, each opened successively without closing the others, and speaking at normal speed and each took the speech accurately:
- FireFox 8
- WordPerfect X4
- Word 2007
- DavkaWriter 7 (a multi-lingual wordprocessor)
- Acrobat Standard 9 (adding text box)
- Nuance PDF Converter Pro 6 (Acrobat clone, adding a text box)
Obviously, the problem is the speed of the Dragon-Sesame text interface.
The following does work fine:
- While in Sesame say "Start Notepad." (Notepad starts.)
- Dictate into Notepad.
- Say "Select all.", "Copy that.", "Close.", "Don't Save."
- Switch to Sesame to the text field.
- Say "Paste that."
You can say "new line" before paste that, which does work okay.
