Copying from a web page by voice in Mozilla Firefox

11Category: Other discoveries

Here’s how to copy content from a web page without using the mouse.

To do this, you'll need to have the following command either in your global voice command file or in your Firefox voice command file:

Select 1..20 More Words = Repeat($1, "{Ctrl+Shift+Right}");

The procedure is as follows:

1. Say “slash x”, where x is the first word of the passage you want to copy.

The word will be highlighted.

2. Say “select y more words”, where y is the number of words/items in the rest of the passage.

The rest of the passage will be highlighted.

3. Say "copy that".

The passage will be copied to the clipboard!

You don't have to understand how Natlink/Vocola works to use any of the Vocola commands on this site or on speech wiki

Just follow this procedure to incorporate a Vocola command into your Dragon setup:

1. Install Natlink/Vocola.

2. Restart your computer.

3. If the command is for a particular application, open that application and say "edit VoiceCommands" OR If the command is global, say "edit global VoiceCommands".

A blank command file will display.

4. Copy the Vocola command that you want to use to the clipboard (from this site or from speech wiki).

5. Go back to the command file you just displayed, and paste the command on a new line anywhere in the file.

6. Say "refresh macros" to save the commands.

7. Close the command file window.

You're now able to use the new command.

NOTE: Natlink/Vocola is free, versatile and compatible with all editions of DNS (you can even use it to create commands with Standard editions), but it has its quirks. If you're looking for a complete command set with user support, you may want to consider a buying product like Knowbrainer or hiring an SR professional to customise commands for you.
