If we're able to implement it in the future, we'll be sure to post an update here.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/is-it-possible-to-write-a-macro-for-multiple-files/?ID=0611fe9f-c913-4387-b902-829b4f2c525a#4 Sat, 03 Nov 2018 11:02:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/is-it-possible-to-write-a-macro-for-multiple-files/?ID=0611fe9f-c913-4387-b902-829b4f2c525a#4 VoiceBot I think what he's trying to accomplish is have voicebot interpret what he's saying "Let's open starcraft doc.docx", and it's open "starcraft doc.docx', but he's wanting to know if voicebot can possibly perform speech to text translation.

i.e. have a macro/action that is called "let's open".
In there is listens for what follows (in this case, the user says "starcraft doc.docx"., os the script then searches a specific [read: predefined] folder for the document that matches all words after "let's open".

instead of having multiple macro's, Each specifically configured to open their related filename, e.g.
. . Let's open starcraft.docx
. . Let's open arma2.docx
. . Let's open minecraft.docx
. . Let's open lode runner.docx

He wants a single macro that will take the words after 'lets open' and open it. so.. yeah, speech-to-text interpreter.
This would be awesome, actually. I could find a number of uses for something like this too.

Thanks,

What would you like it to do exactly? Open every file in a directory? Any information would help me make a script that will work for you

I don't, however, want to make a new macro for every file on my computer, so this is my question:

Is it possible to have one command that can open multiple files?

For example for all of my word docs, I can say "Let's write" + name of file. So "Let's write Twilight Redux." I know that voicebot does this as a program already, but I want to know if I can make a single macro that can then search a smaller list of options? ]]>
