For anyone looking for this functionality still. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/action-ignored-voicebot-focused/?ID=9a715922-f2dc-433a-9c5d-ac4d01a59dc7#6 Fri, 06 May 2016 17:34:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/action-ignored-voicebot-focused/?ID=9a715922-f2dc-433a-9c5d-ac4d01a59dc7#6 VoiceBot We've just released a new VoiceBot Beta and we've added an option on the Settings > Options tab to allow commands to be run on the VoiceBot window. Please let us know if you still run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/action-ignored-voicebot-focused/?ID=9a715922-f2dc-433a-9c5d-ac4d01a59dc7#5 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 18:46:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/action-ignored-voicebot-focused/?ID=9a715922-f2dc-433a-9c5d-ac4d01a59dc7#5 VoiceBot Yeah, the more we think about it, the more it sounds like a good idea to just add an option. I've added this to our list

You should just be able to click anywhere else on your screen outside of voicebot to put it out of focus. At least what I do if I am making changes to voicebot only to test the macro I just click outside of it and making my desktop the focus.

Honestly I don't think the action ignored because of voicebot focus is necessary because you ultimately test your command when you create it.

So yeah, a toggle would be nice if the feature isn't going to be removed. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/action-ignored-voicebot-focused/?ID=9a715922-f2dc-433a-9c5d-ac4d01a59dc7#3 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 17:15:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/action-ignored-voicebot-focused/?ID=9a715922-f2dc-433a-9c5d-ac4d01a59dc7#3 VoiceBot Could get a toggle (or maybe something in the advanced settings) to switch this feature on and off?

Since I'm using a system dedicated to voicebot - leaving focus on the application is non-consequential, and often means I'm dealing with arbitrarily changing focus to a notepad document. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/action-ignored-voicebot-focused/?ID=9a715922-f2dc-433a-9c5d-ac4d01a59dc7#2 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 13:18:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/action-ignored-voicebot-focused/?ID=9a715922-f2dc-433a-9c5d-ac4d01a59dc7#2 VoiceBot This is so you can test to see if your command is recognized, without having the command actually run. If you click anywhere outside of VoiceBot (another app, the desktop, etc) then try again, the command should run.

I keep getting this message whenever I try to run a macro. I've changed my settings to allow all my profiles to run the macros, and it occurs both with macros made by me and pre-made profiles that I downloaded ]]>
