Boston Voice Users will present its monthly meeting:

Writing Voice Commands with Vocola, by Rick Mohr

Tuesday, June 10, 7:30 PM
MIT, Room 2-132
(directions below)

Rick Mohr, creator of Vocola, a voice command language for Dragon
NaturallySpeaking, will demonstrate his newest version, 2.0.  Vocola
(pronounced "vo-CO-luh") offers:

   Ease of use
     - Simple, concise command syntax -- most commands are one-liners
     - Easy to view and modify commands
     - Changed commands are loaded automatically
     - Free, and works with any version of NatSpeak
   Features
     - Speak a continuous sequence of commands
     - Specify different actions for variable words
     - Use concise number ranges, optional words, and inline word lists
     - Re-use work with "include" files and user-defined functions
   Familiar syntax
     - Keystroke syntax and built-in functions from Dragon Macro Language
     - Grammar syntax similar to NatLink

Here's an example Vocola command:

     Copy That = {Ctrl+c};

Saying "Copy That" sends the keystroke Control-C, which copies the
current selection to the clipboard.

If you'd like to read about Vocola in advance, see

Vocola 1.0,
released a year ago, but will be updated to describe Vocola 2.0 before
the meeting.)
