Greetings all, I am a bit stuck trying to search on duckduckgo.com

It asks me what is the query url of duckduckgo.com, I repeat the website name but it doesn't seem to work.

If this website is unusable, are there any privacy-conscious search engines that the software will access?

Anything from this list or others for example?

Thanks.

I propose that Braina use the industry standard INI file format to store and share user data, like custom commands and aliases. See INI file

When Braina starts it would read all INI files in the (new) "%appdata%/Brainasoft/Braina/Ini/" folder.

This change would have obvious benefits:

• Sharing - Users can truly share their favorite commands and aliases.
  For example, before I had hand surgery I created several custom commands that would help me operate my computer one-handed. If I could put these commands into "one_handed.ini", I could very easily share those commands with other users.
• Grouping - As part of my "one-handed" efforts I created commands to facilitate switching between Windows tasks. If I change the name of one of those commands it now goes to the end of the Custom Commands list, visibly far away from the other task switching commands.

Example - my "task switch.ini" file with 3 custom commands (tv = Task View) would look like this:

[Custom Commands]
tv=press @{TAB}
back=press %({TAB})
double back=press %({TAB}{DELAY 400}{TAB})

Note that a complete INI file would contain all 3 sections:

[Custom Commands]
[Voice Recognition Aliases]
[Custom Replies]

This change would require new code to handle duplicate command/alias names. The user should have the option to rename one of the duplicates, or choose which to use (Braina would have to remember the choice). As a developer I understand that writing new code instead of fixing bugs is a difficult choice. However if Braina is to become the great product that it's visionaries imagined, it needs to continuously grow. 

Speaking "literal literal" would of course insert the word "literal" into the dictation stream.

Sure. We have forwarded your request to the development team.

I desperately need a dictation command called "literal".

It would instruct Braina to not interpret the next input at all, as a command or alias, but just insert it into the dictated text.

Then I can say "literal sentence case", or "literal <any command/alias>" and have it inserted into the dictation stream as is!

Please??

Hi

I have a feature request, one that would allow truly Custom Commands:

Please pass any speech following the custom command itself to a batch script or program.

Example

A custom command using a batch script looks like this:
 

cmd:MyScript.cmd

and could be invoked with the voice command "my script".
I'm suggesting passing any speech-to-text after "my script" to the MyScript.cmd batch script.

MyScript.cmd would access the additional parameters in the standard way via "%*":
   
@Echo On
    Echo %*
   
This batch script merely echoes the additional parameters, spoken by the user.

Similarly, passing the speech-to-text to a program would work the same way. This would make Custom Commands truly custom!

We have come to know through multiple users that Kaspersky antivirus software is detecting virus/trojan in Braina when you start speech recognition. If you face similar issues please don't worry as this is a false positive by Kaspersky (no other AV software has issues with Braina). You can simply create an exception in Kaspersky and continue using Braina. We also advice you to report this issue to Kaspersky as false positive.

Yes. You can do that in the latest version. Commands are as follows:

Read last dictation

Read copied text - Reads already copied text.

Read selected - Reads selected text.

Read that - Reads last dictation or selected text based on the context.

All dictation commands are mentioned here: https://www.brainasoft.com/braina/dictation-software.html
