I need help with the voice click program

I bought SmartNAV with the voice recognition software from a Swedish reseller. I did not get a CD instead I had to download it. I bought this for my brother who has problem with RSI. According to my brother there was no manual and no help at all to get inside the program. Apparently he figured out the default commands but they work vey poorly for him and he wants to change them. Please help! Where can we get a proper manual?

There isn't much of a seperate manual for the voice software.

The commands are listed in the SmartNAV manual, as are instructions for changing them.
Voice activated clicking allows you to issue mouse clicks and commands by speaking to your computer. Simply say 'left click' and a left click will be performed. This powerful feature makes the SmartNAV more intuitive to use than ever and does not come with any other hands free mouse package, we hope you enjoy using it!

Available Commands

Mouse Commands:
Left down - left button down
Left up - left button up
Left click - left button down and up
right down - right button down
right up - right button up
right click - right button down and up
middle down - middle button down
middle up - middle button up
middle click - middle button down and up
Double click - left button up/down twice
Enter - presses the enter key

SmartNAV Hotkeys:
Precision - start / stop precision mode
Scroll - start / stop scrolling
Pause - start / stop pause mode
Center - center the cursor (said only once)
Activate - used in key activation mode to start / stop mode

The Grammar File

The above commands are defined in grammar.bnf, a text file that can be edited by the user, these are only the default values.

You can edit the commands in the grammar.bnf file from within WordPad. Open the file (located in 'C:\Program Files\Naturalpoint\SmartNAV) with Wordpad and change the text that is NOT in quotes.

Remember when changing the speech commands to only change text outside of quotes. Do not change the order of items, the text in quotes "" or their IDs.

Please let us know if you have any problems.


You can also find a small help file for the software, in the Via Voice folder, which is located here.
