Using dictation with sticky keys

Hello,
I am new to this support community. I use the sticky keys function (I am a quadriplegic) and now with the dictation feature I no longer need to open my Dragon dictation in order to dictate something short. My problem is that in order to enable dictation I need to hit the fn or cmd key but with sticky keys active, the shortcut does not work and the only key I can assign is one of the arrow keys! HELP!!!

If you can access the Edit menu then you may be able to use DIctation from there?

Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled on mountain lion?

I'm trying to use speech recognition to input text on my iMac running the latest mountain lion, 10.8.3.
I have sticky keys enabled.
When I try to start speaking by pressing the function key twice nothing happens. I can only get it to work if I disable sticky keys.
The same problem occurs with all the other modifier keys as shortcut, they do not work with sticky keys.
When I try to select a different shortcut, I am unable to select a two key combination, but am limited to one.
If I select the F6 key, or any other single key, I am able to start speech recognition. However the second time that I press the key, it does not stop recognition and process my words. Instead, it restarts the recognition.
Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled?
Or a way to get an individual key shortcut to start on the first press and process it on the second?
Or a way to get key combinations to work, as specified by the help:
Dictation On and Off
To use Dictation, click On.
When you’re ready to dictate text, place the insertion point where you want the dictated text to appear and press the Fn (function) key twice. When you see the lighted microphone icon and hear a beep, the microphone is ready for you to speak your text.
Shortcut
By default, you press the Fn (Function) key twice to start dictation. If you like, you can choose a different shortcut from the menu.
To create a shortcut that’s not in the list, choose Customize, and then press the keys you want to use. You can press two or more keys to create your shortcut.

I noticed with version 10.8.4 of OS X that I am now able to select F6 to activate, and the return key to complete the speech recognition. This is still different than the description of how these should function that's included in the help, but at least it's an improvement.

Does anyone know if you can use dictation with Microsoft Word?

I am looking to get Moutian Lion but was just wondering if you can use dictation for Microsoft Word or any other word document program.
Thanks a million!!
Beau

I have personally used it with Word and it does work. I even think I remember reading that you can use it with any program in which you can type. Go to settings on your macbook to make sure it's turned on. Chances are your shortcut to access dictation is pressing the Fn key twice.

Using Explorer with Calculated Key Figures from BEx (BW 7.31 / BI 4.1)

I'm looking for suggestions on how to leverage data from calculated and restricted key figures in BEx (from a BW 7.31 system) with Business Objects Explorer (from a BI 4.1 system). Our current process involves some complicated workarounds and with the implementation of BI 4.1 and I'm hoping to streamline things a bit.
Here is what I had in mind...
An information space (indexed daily) sitting on a universe (hopefully UNX) that referred to a BEx query on a multiprovider in BW. My understanding was that universes would be able to consume BEx queries (including their restricted and calculated key figures) in 4.1. Based on a recent post (http://scn.sap.com/thread/3417905), it appears that the feature that I was hoping for may have not made it into the GA release. Obviously, I could move the calculations and restrictions into BW ETL or maybe into the universe, but since that work has already been done and lives in the queries, I'm hoping to use them! Also, we could use a different tool such as WebI, but at this point the user base is comfortable with Explorer and we would like to continue to use it.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi McDowell,
Regarding to the BEx connection in Explorer, SAP provide two solution
1. BWA connection
2. Unv on top of connection
For the UNV situation, you could use the calculated / restricted key figure in the system but please assgin the aggregation level for them (Database delegate is not supported if I am not wrong)
Also plese consider two points
1. Data size (UNV cannot support large data size)
2. Scheduling (Explorer does not support event trigger? correct me if I am wrong)

Using Dictation with audio files as input

I would like to use Dictation to transcribe lectures which are in mp4 format. The only input choice I see is microphones. Is there a way to select existing files in mp4 and mp3 format and have Dictation transcribe them?

You can only get Dictation to (attempt) to transcribe your mp4/mp3 audio if you play those audios from a separate device in front of a good quality microphone while dictation is running. You cannot have dictation listening and transcribing to audio concurrently playing on the same machine.
You will want to use the Enhanced dictation capabilities to avoid round trip delays to Apple's servers. Since Dictation gets better over time by recognizing your voice patterns, playing lectures to it, with any injected noise spikes, may be very frustrating for you.
I used the Apple Dictation tool on my iPhone to record the word “testing” four times. When I played this to an external microphone, and OS X dictation listening in Pages v5.2.2, the words were correctly transcribed.

How do I use Dictation with an iTunes file?

I'm trying to produce typed text from an .mp4 file that I have in iTunes. I read about Dictation but noted that:
Enhanced Dictation automatically stops listening when you switch to another window, or if you press the Fn key again, or when you click Done.
So when I open up a new Word document, press Fn twice and then go to the iTunes player window to start the audio file, Dictation will not record the text being spoken.
Does anyone know how to get this to work, with a workaround or something else? I tried an interviewScribe app but that was completely worthless.

First, you're not declaring variables in XML. You're defining data in XML. What you're really asking is how to assign the value of an XML data element to a variable in Java.
Do do that you need to parse the file. Typically this is done by:
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.getInstance( );
DocumentBuilder parser = dbf.getDocumentBuilder( );
Document xmlDocument = parser.parse( new File( "C:\\MyXml.xml" ) );Now that you have an org.w3c.dom.Document object, you have to traverse the XML tree and get your value. The DOM implementation has methods for this, but I find it much easier to use the XPathAPI tools included with Apache Xalan, like this:
int baudRate = (int)XPathAPI.eval( xmlDocument, "Config/port/BAUDRATE" ).num( );For more information about Xalan, check out http://xml.apache.org/Xalan.
Of course, in order to use XPathAPI you must be familiar with XPath. XPath is a W3C supported standard, so it's worth learning. W3Schools (http://www.w3schools.com) has some good introductory tutorials.
If you don't like XPath, then there's JDOM and other toolkits, but I'm not familiar with them.
Hope that helps,

Attaching URL using GOS with 2 key fields

I found a program to attach URL using GOS. I tried the program using his sample Business object (BUS2012) and supplied a valid PO and the program works.
When I use the program using business object BUS1505 (Real Estate Contract) and put a valid contract number, the program didn't attached the URL. When I check the business object, I found out that the key fields are 2, Company Code and Contract Number. With this, how can attach it to the program.
Please help me on this. Thanks in advance.

HI
You can look at object VBAP as an example. It'sthe sales order item and has two keys - sales order number and item number.
the key was created:
BEGIN OF KEY,
     SALESDOCUMENTNO LIKE VBAP-VBELN,
     ITEMNO LIKE VBAP-POSNR,
END OF KEY,
     MATERIAL TYPE SWC_OBJECT,
     SALESDOCUMENT TYPE SWC_OBJECT,
     _VBAP LIKE VBAP.
ND_DATA OBJECT. " Do not change.. DATA is generated
Here is a object instantiation - just build the key with the two fields - then when you call the macro - you pass the one field that already has both keys in it.
GET_PROPERTY SALESDOCUMENT CHANGING CONTAINER.
SWC_CREATE_OBJECT
    OBJECT-SALESDOCUMENT 'VBAK' OBJECT-KEY-SALESDOCUMENTNO.
SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'SalesDocument' OBJECT-SALESDOCUMENT.
END_PROPERTY.

How to open files with "return" key and delete files with "delete" key?

Hi friends,
It's been over a week since I got my iMac and I'm loving it. However, while I'm adapting alright to 'mac' key shortcuts (e.g. using the COMMAND-S for save as opposed to CONTROL-S used in PC).
However, there are 2 things that are annoying me greatly right now.
1. I like selecting files with keys as opposed to using the mouse. I make animations and prefer keyboard shortcuts. However, when I hit "return", instead of opening the file it goes into file-renaming mode. How do I change this? Likewise, I would like to delete files by hitting the delete key. This does not work - how do I change this?
2. When I click SHIFT key sometimes, it gets 'stuck' - which is annoying because I start typing CAPITALS when I wasn't aware I've activated the CAP-LOCK key. How do I get rid of this? Like, I don't want to hit SHIFT for instance, and have that up arrow thing 'stuck' there.
Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi
Thanks for the star.
If you went into Mac Help & searched, 2 results come up:
Full keyboard access shortcuts for interacting with items (for selecting & activating controls).
Full keyboard navigation keyboard shortcuts (for navigating Desktop, Windows, Menu bar etc)
From the lists, select the link that closely describes your situation.
I have to say that I can't reproduce your problem, does this happen just in applications or in everything? I don't know if it's to do with this but pressing Shift 5 times turns on Sticky Keys & Option(Alt) 5 times to turn on Mouse Keys (System Preferences>Universal Access>Keyboard).
After typing "Sticky Keys" into Mac Help, I found this:
"Pressing a group of modifier keys as a sequence
To perform many tasks on your computer, you need to press one or more modifier keys (Shift, Command, Option, and Control) at the same time as another key. For example, pressing Shift-Command-Q in the Finder opens the Logout dialog.
If you have difficulty pressing several keys at once, you can make it easier to press a set of keys by turning on Sticky Keys in the Universal Access preferences pane. With Sticky Keys turned on, you can press a set of modifier keys as a sequence. As you press each key, the symbol for the modifier key appears on the screen.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Universal Access. Then click Keyboard.
Select the On button next to Sticky Keys.
To hear a sound whenever the computer registers that you have pressed a modifier key, select "Beep when a modifier key is set."
To see an icon indicating which modifier keys you have pressed, select "Display pressed keys on screen."
You can also use Slow Keys to adjust the amount of time between when you press a key and when it is activated."
Any of this close to your problem?
Steve
Edit: I'm right, it's Sticky Keys:

How can I use TrueSequenceFactory with multiple sequences

In the post "How to use existing Oracle sequences using KODO" answered
by Marc Prud'hommeaux a "sample code" was given. But seems to me that
example will only work with a single Oracle sequence for the entire
system. Is this right?
How can I use TrueSequenceFactory with primary-keys and their
respective existing sequences? Can you (SolarMetric guys) provide me a
sample code?

The problem is that you are using application-identity. When you
specify an objectid-class, we treat is automatically as application
identity. To resolve this, I would recommend removing both the
objectid-class and identity-type atributes from your class. With
"objectid-class" in place, we asssume that you wil take care of identity.

Well, I'll show what I have...
This is the script of my table:
CREATE TABLE LINEUP_VOYAGE (
VOYAGEID NUMBER (10) NOT NULL,
VESSEL_NAME VARCHAR2 (1000) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_LINEUP_VOYAGE
PRIMARY KEY ( VOYAGEID ) ) ;
This is an excerpt of my .jdo file:

<field name="vesselName">
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="data-column"

</class>
As you can see, the "id" field is commented.
And this is my class:
package br.com.fertimport.entity;
import java.util.*;

     private String vesselName;
//     private long id;
//     public LineupVoyage(long id) { this.id = id; }

     public String getVesselName() { return vesselName; }
     public void setVesselName (String vesselName) { this.vesselName =
vesselName; }
The "id" attribute is commented.
Now the questions...
To use ClassSequenceFactory must the identity-type of my entities be
application or datastore?
Is the "objectid-class" parameter required in this case?
As you see, all references to the "id" property are commented. Can I
use this property to represent my object id?
If not, how can I identify my object with something like a long?
The last question is related to my architecture: one VM with the EJBs
(entity and session) and another VM with the web classes and JSPs,
connected by a session facade. I don't want to use any Kodo or JDO stuff
in the web tier. Is this possible?

Hi,
I've recently purchased Compaq 15-s006tu Laptop (came with Freedos) and I'm using it with Windows 8.1 (64 bit).
The keyboard of this laptop is having many hotkeys to control brightness, volume, Wi-fi etc. but these keys are not working whenever I'm trying to use these with fn key.
In device manager the keyboard is shown as:

TextAndAccessKey with Intro key ?

Hello there! , i was wondering how set the textAndAccessKey property to use it with Intro key ??
Thanks !

What is "Intro key?"
You use the textAndAccessKey to set both the text on the item and the access key (the key you press together with a special key - usually alt or ctrl, depending on the browser - to invoke the item from the keyboard) in a single property.
The only thing I was able to find was that perhaps the "Intro" key is a special key on an Apple keyboard? If that's your question... the special key that you use for the shortcut is controlled by the browser, and not by anything you do with ADF.

Using Sticky keys interfere with iTunes

Hello,
I use sticky keys functions (system preferences / Universal Access / Keyboard).
I noticed this strange behaviour, if itunes is open but music is stopped and a song is selected in itunes, pressing the apple (command) key starts the playing.
Some times I found tha pressing play on itune does not start the playing then pressing the command key unlocks the problem.
Is this a bug?
Best regards
Paolo

That picture looks just like mine does with no music playing. I don't know what else to suggest. You might try deleting the iTunes preferences file. I would also check-mark that box in the Keyboard settings anyway, then un check it and see if that resolves it, the idea being that you're forcing the OS to write to the Keyboard preferences file a couple of times and making sure the data is set correctly. I'm grasping at straws now.
My experience has been, the media keys work no matter what windows is at the front. However, the space bar only starts and stops the musci if iTunes is the front window.
Beyond that, good luck. Maybe talk to an Apple store genius?

How do I turn on long press keyboard to write the same character many times with one keystroke only? I can only write 1 letter at a time with each key press. To write "aaaaa" I need to press 5 times the A key. I didn't use to do this.

I know this has something to do with INSERT key in Windows I guess. But suddenly I was using Mac OS X Lion and a keyboard sign appeared in the top bar, and the keyboard didnt work as it usually does. I mean, I wanted the long press key to write multiple caracters of course. Please help!

It's now a hidden option that can be turned on with a terminal command. The easiest way to do this is to download TinkerTool from this site:
http://www.bresink.com/osx/0TinkerTool/download.php5
Then go to Tinkertool > General tab > Select "support key repeat".
Logoff and login again.

Another question is that I don�t understand why I get a constant length string when I encrypt a text on the card and variable length string when I encrypt off the card

I thought that exponent was 3 bytes long...
On the card I have the following code:
    private void GetExponent (APDU apdu) {
        if (pin.isValidated()){
            byte apduBuffer[] = apdu.getBuffer();
        short bytesExp = publicKey.getExponent(apduBuffer, (short) 0);
           // Send results
             apdu.setOutgoing();
             // indicate the number of bytes in the data field
             apdu.setOutgoingLength((short)bytesExp);
             // at offset 0 send 128 byte of data in the buffer
             apdu.sendBytesLong(apduBuffer, (short)APDUDATA, (short)bytesExp);
        } else {
            ISOException.throwIt (ISO7816.SW_SECURITY_STATUS_NOT_SATISFIED);
    }And if I don't send an APDU with length expected, I get the exception 6C03 (Correct Expected Length (Le) = 0x6C00) so I send APDU with 03 length and I receive the exponent. The problem is that there is a well know bug in getExponent and it returns 00 00 00... so I set it up to 65537 outside the card.

Partitioning an Existing Table using DBMS_REDEFINITION with no primary key?

HI,
Is it possible to partiiton a table with dbms_redefination if the table contains no primary key?
DB version 10.2
Thank you All..

Yes, of course, but you'll have to use rowID with "CONS_USE_ROWID" : http://68.142.116.68/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_redefi.htm#CBBFDJBC
This will be longer but it is possible.
