Have annoying bug which only occurs with WSR. Is there any section of Microsoft that accepts bug reports? Mark- |

Where/How to post formal bug report about Vista (Windows Speech Recognition)
That appears to be a design question as opposed to Bug report. There's a stylistic difference between the two operations, but I'm not aware that one is fundamentally superior to the other. What's a real world instance where this is of significance? If I recall correctly, the 'newline equals new sentence' logic is mirrored throughout all autocorrecting Microsoft software that I can think of, so I'd think this is by design as it stands and you would need to force lower-case if that's what you explicitly wanted. =\ -- Speaking for myself only.

Great, do you happen to know where I can post the bug report? What is the bug with WSR When I speak the command "NewLine" to drop down a line in the middle of a sentence, WSR wrongly capitalizes the first word on the new line. In other words, if I speak this sentence: "My dog NewLine has fleas Period" ...then the text appears like this: My dog Has fleas. Notice that "Has" is wrongly capitalized. BTW, my $1,600 full version of Dragon medical 10.0 has the same bug. I submitted a formal bug report to Nuance, they thanked me, hopefully they will fix it by the next update. About the only modern speech app that does it right is that new one for Macs, "MacSpeech Dictate 1.2" My dog has fleas. ...but that app has many other problems.

If I recall correctly, the 'newline equals new sentence' logic is mirrored
throughout all autocorrecting Microsoft software that I can think of...... But surely this is nothing to do with autocorrection. We are in text entry mode, not autocorrection mode. It's exactly like typing "My dog shift+enter has fleas" in Word. And when you do that, you get a lower case 'h'. So, designed in or not, I think it's faulty functionality and would support the OP's thought that it should go in as a bug report. So how is that done? SteveT |

I do not think so in this case, because there is a seperate command named "NewParagraph" specifically designed for the purpose you mentioned. My awkward workaround to get rid of the unwanted capitilization is: "My dog NewLine still LowerCaseThat has fleas Period" My dog still has fleas. ....but needing to apply "LowerCaseThat" to every line in my document really slows down the speech app'.

I was going by regular enter as opposed to shift-enter. =\ Auto-correction as in "guess what you're trying to do" - as in any non-"smart" editor you would have had to explicitly upper case any leading letters. -- Speaking for myself only.

So what's a specific and valid scenario where this is causing you pain? The more real world any given scenario is, the easier it is to push for a given notion. =) As a poetry fan, the current behavior makes sense to me. ;-) -- Speaking for myself only.

wrote: So what's a specific and valid scenario where this is causing you pain? I thought you would never ask. ;-) As you know, the value of any speech recognition app' is directly proportional to how fast it will convert speech into acceptable text. For example, if you were trying to hire a secretary for your upscale business, and that secretary submitted a resume to you that looked like this, after mentioning proudly to you that she created the resume by using Windows Speech Recognition, which is included with Vista: My name Is Suzy, I Have all Sorts of Experience Using Word Which is a Very good Processor Of documents. ....you would likely be a little hesitant about hiring suzy, because she apparently does not know how to properly capitalize words in a column. She could explain to you until she was blue in the face that WSR had a bug in it that insisted that the beginning word in each line would be capitalized, whether Suzy wanted it to be capitalized or not. Now the app' "Microsoft Word" can no doubt be set to avoid this sort of bug when writing columns, but that does not help Suzy any when the bug re-surfaces in her Speech Recognition program. The bug is in the "NewLine" commands behavior. A competitive speech program for the Mac has the same "NewLine" command, but it is not buggy, it acts as it should, realizing that most beginning words in a column are NOT capitalized. With "MacSpeech Dictate 1.2" Suzy dictates like this: My name NewLine is Suzy Comma I NewLine have all NewLine sorts of NewLine experience NewLine using Cap-Word Newline which is a NewLine very good Newline processor NewLine of documents Period NewParagraph With buggy WSR, Suzy would be required to dictate like below, to achieve the same identical results: My name NewLine is LowerCaseThat Suzy Comma I NewLine have LowerCaseThat all NewLine sorts LowerCaseThat of NewLine experience LowerCaseThat NewLine using Cap-Word Newline which LowerCaseThat is a NewLine very LowerCaseThat good Newline processor NewLine of LowerCaseThat documents Period NewParagraph There were 7 unnecessary insertions of the command "LowerCaseThat",needed just to get the buggy WSR to act like MacSpeech, which is NOT buggy. Wadda ya want, the world to be populated by Mac lovers, just to "justify" the weird buggy way that WSR presently acts? Not for me. I prefer to fix the damn bug. Now stop beating around the bush and tell me how to submit a formal bug report to Microsoft, PLEASE. Mark- |
