It's not much of a problem once I got used to it. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/keyboard-ceases-function-when-voicebot-runs-a-macro/?ID=57cd3324-0522-472a-9f04-bf6199ac6407#7 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 18:52:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/keyboard-ceases-function-when-voicebot-runs-a-macro/?ID=57cd3324-0522-472a-9f04-bf6199ac6407#7 VoiceBot We've done some further investigating here and it doesn't look like this is something we can fix. SendKeys seems to interrupt actual keyboard input and the keyboard input doesn't get detected by Windows again until the next KeyDown event

I'll check with our devs on this and see if there's anything that can be done there. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/keyboard-ceases-function-when-voicebot-runs-a-macro/?ID=57cd3324-0522-472a-9f04-bf6199ac6407#5 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 19:47:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/keyboard-ceases-function-when-voicebot-runs-a-macro/?ID=57cd3324-0522-472a-9f04-bf6199ac6407#5 VoiceBot yup, that's exactly the problem. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/keyboard-ceases-function-when-voicebot-runs-a-macro/?ID=57cd3324-0522-472a-9f04-bf6199ac6407#4 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 18:06:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/keyboard-ceases-function-when-voicebot-runs-a-macro/?ID=57cd3324-0522-472a-9f04-bf6199ac6407#4 VoiceBot Ohhh, I see. I think I was getting mixed up on the original issue. So you're holding a key down, then you use a VoiceBot macro that presses a key, and the key you're physically holding down has to be released and pressed again? ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/keyboard-ceases-function-when-voicebot-runs-a-macro/?ID=57cd3324-0522-472a-9f04-bf6199ac6407#3 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 02:20:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/keyboard-ceases-function-when-voicebot-runs-a-macro/?ID=57cd3324-0522-472a-9f04-bf6199ac6407#3 VoiceBot hi keith,

it's setup as a key press and release with the minimum 25ms hold. however, it kills the key i press on the keyboard totally even if i hold it through the macro execution. i have to let go of the button and press it again in order for it to work. i'm getting used to it but it would be perfect if this issue is resolved so i can use both voicebot and keyboard concurrently without having them conflict with each other at all.

thanks,

Are your Macro actions setup for "Press Key" or "Press and Release Key?" ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/keyboard-ceases-function-when-voicebot-runs-a-macro/?ID=57cd3324-0522-472a-9f04-bf6199ac6407 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 09:08:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/keyboard-ceases-function-when-voicebot-runs-a-macro/?ID=57cd3324-0522-472a-9f04-bf6199ac6407 VoiceBot hi,

first off, i love this software coming from voiceattack. it's much more reliable at running macros. the only problem i have with it is whenever i run a macro with voicebot, the key that i'm pressing ceases its function until i press it again. for example, while i run away from an aoe in a game and i speak a voicebot command, my character would stop running until i let go of the directional button and press it again. is there any way to fix this issue?

thanks ]]>
