Custom Commands in Dictation Mode

[wayneloveskathy]

I use Braina primarily for dictation. How do I set it up to use a " when I say the word "quote"? I've tried using Custom Commands with no luck. I'd also like it to know when to use capital letters after a quotation mark. Is there a way I can fix this?

Custom Commands won't help in your case because custom commands don't work in dictation mode. You need to use Voice Activation Aliases as described here: http://www.brainasoft.com/braina/community/index.php/topic,46.msg173.html#msg173

The above mention post describes how to add apostrophe but you can similarly add an alias for "quote".

We are also working to add commands for switching to upper, lower or title case. It will be added most probably in next version which is scheduled to be released in first week of October.

I had seen that before, but the version I have does not have Voice Activation Aliases under the Tools menu, only Custom Commands. As far as I know, I have the latest version because I just got it a few days ago, but when I go to "About" it says 1.3. How can I get 1.31?

Incidentally, I tried going to the download page, and the version it gave me was 1.3, not 1.31. Is there a special link for it somewhere?

@wayneloveskathy This is the link to download the latest version: http://www.brainasoft.com/braina/buy/download-lite.html

P.S. The setup file name is Braina_1.3_Setup.exe

That's the version I have, and there is no Voice Activation Alias under the tools menu. I'm attaching a screen snip to show you.

I had downloaded it again just day before yesterday to see if the version had changed, and still got the old one, but just for the heck of it, I tried downloading it again just now from the link you provided, installed it and now it's there. I'll try it, and thanks!
