Modes

In this mode, the Speech Box will capture dictated text and then transfer the dictated text into the application where the cursor was previously located.

This mode prevents the user from moving the cursor focus to any other window including those from other applications. This ensures that dictated text in the Speech Box could safely be transferred into the text editor where it was launched from.

If you click anywhere outside of the Speech Box, you will be asked if you want to change to a Floating Speech Box.

For some users, the ability to be able to access other applications or launch different windows in the existing one while the Speech Box is open is important. This is when you would use the Floating Speech Box. When the user transfers the dictated text, it will transfer to the text editor that has focus AT THAT TIME. This is important because if you are switching between multiple applications, you need to be sure you have focus on the correct application before transferring the text.

Floating Dictation Target

While the Speech Box is Floating and set as the dictation target a message is shown stating that all text will be inserted into it regardless of focus. The Fluency Direct Control Bar &; Dictation Target will also shows "Speech Box" as the current target of dictation. You can cancel the dictation target by clicking the 'X' on the control bar or clicking on the "cancel dictation target" link on the Speech Box. The dictation target will also be cleared after the Speech Box is closed and text has been transferred.
