Converting DVC FilesThis utility converts many commands correctly, handling keystroke sequences, function calls, word arguments, lists, and lists with substitution. Most of my 200+ macros converted fine, with some manual cleanup required for the rest. If the utility cannot handle a particular command construct it is replaced with "[]" and the resulting command is commented out. The utility takes two arguments -- an input folder containing Dragon voice command files (*.dvc), and an output folder to contain Vocola files (*.vcl). For example, the script might be invoked as follows (assuming Vocola is installed in C:\NatLink\Vocola and NatSpeak is installed in C:\NatSpeak): cd C:\NatLink\Vocola perl Exec\dvc2vcl.pl C:\NatSpeak\Users\Rick\current Commands Each .dvc file in the input folder C:\NatSpeak\Users\Rick\current is converted to one or more .vcl files, which are written to the output folder C:\NatLink\Vocola\Commands. Global commands are written to the file _vocola.vcl, and application-specific commands for an application named foo.exe are written to foo.vcl. If you have added commands to the default Dragon command file global.dvc, you may want to make a copy of the file and delete the Dragon-supplied commands so that you only convert your own commands. There's no particular value in converting the Dragon-supplied commands to Vocola. This page is (c) Copyright 2002 by Rick Mohr, and was last modified on February 18, 2002. |
