Hello Kevin,
Great initiative!
I tried to register (preregister?) but it seems that I can only register for Michael's Q&A (Adding Speech to Text to Your Workflow), is that right?
Could you perhaps provide a direct URL?
Cheers,
Hans

I mean, if someone asks about it, I will try to answer, but so far I don't know a single person who actually uses either the OS X Dictation app or Dragon Dictate for Mac in their translation work. Apart from Tom, that is, but I somehow suspect he isn't using it for any kind of complicated commands.
So if anyone reading this is using Mac dictation software in their translation work: please speak up!
Michael

Perhaps you can ask in the Mac or Speech recognition forum? (If you not already did so ...)

Thanks, Kevin!
I've just added my first question there, something that really bothers me (and at least one other automation fan on Mac):
CafeTran's strength is in it's ability to adapt to users' preferences. I notice that you get a lot of requests for micro tasks (e.g. case changing and other string manipulations). Are you planning to add any support for automation tools or even a scripting language, so that users can create their own solutions for these mini tasks? I'm having troubles to use Keyboard Maestro (about the only automation tool on the Mac platform) with CafeTran. Are you planning to improve the interaction between Keyboard Maestro and CafeTran?
As far as I'm concerned it cannot be that Windows users can use AutoHotkey to fulfil their automation wishes, whereas Mac users have no working solution. I am not going to downgrade to Windows. Period.

There's Automator and AppleScript. They come with OS X. For free. Most of the Keyboard Maestro macros I've seen are based on AppleScript anyway, for a large part.

You're partially right. Thanks for your reply!

In case anyone is reading this, I just answered my first question @ Adding Speech to Text to Your Workflow, and will try to answer the rest ASAP!

With all due respect, Kevin, I think Michael deserves his own subforum header, in Speech Recognition I suggest. His subject is not necessarily related to CafeTran, and although it's hard to imagine people not being interested in CafeTran, this way those colleagues may miss Michael's expertise. The same goes - mutatis mutandis - for Samuel's "talk" on metorship.
Cheers,
Hans
