We'll definitely test those macros out here and see what we can do. Would you be able to backup your VoiceBot Settings (Settings > Options > Export) and attach them here?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/this-software-is-pants/?ID=ba58092d-ad71-4371-b9a0-6076531bb0d3#2 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 23:42:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/this-software-is-pants/?ID=ba58092d-ad71-4371-b9a0-6076531bb0d3#2 VoiceBot To add insult to injury the format of the examples have gone all pear-shaped, so I'll re-do them for the sake of clarity

Example 1

Name: All Ahead Standard
Command: Standard
Action: Press and release key: E (three times)

Example 2

Name: 1st Row Ability
Command: One
Action: Press and release key: NUM 1

Name: 2nd Row Ability
Command: Repair
Action: Press and release key: Left Ctrl + 1

Hope that clear the air...

The first snagg about this thing is that it works great ONLY with macros that have commands that are mapped to a single keystroke. I tried to create a macro with a command that maps to a repetitive single keystroke and found that it works less than 50% of the time the macro is invoked (See the example below). Most of the time this macro gives the single, sometimes the double keystroke response. I did get the designed response but only a very few times. I applied what I read in these discussion forums and tried a few tweaks of my own but results are very unreliable....and very frustrating!!! It seems VoiceBot is only capable of very, very, very basic macros? Unbelievable!...And there are two versions of this thing for sale!!!??

Example

Name Command Action

All Ahead Standard Standard Press and release key:E (three times)

The other snagg is that I'm also having trouble with creating reliable macros using modifier keystrokes as well!!! See below

Example

Name Command Action
1st Row Ability 1 One Press and release key: NUM1

2nd Row Ability 1 Repair Press and release key: LEFT Ctrl + 1

Now these two macros are in two different groups. I have tried different combinations of time factors and key actions (such as key press and key release) and I've disabled the 1st macro...BUT...when I speak the command for the 2nd macro....the first one is still active!!! In fact,whenever I speak for the command for the second macro (which bears absolutely no phonetic resemblance to the other), regardless of disabling or not, the first macro ALWAYS responds first!!! How barking is that??!! Yes it is definitely disabled, otherwise the button below the action window would not read "Enable" I have reached my wits end with this. I am voicing this, the last straw in the hope of receiving some assistance toward solving these irritating problems.

I was considering to purchase a licence but why should I?? This doesn't work!!! The macros I'm creating aren't particularly complex; they're pretty straight forward and ought to be working reliably. I shouldn't be having these annoying malfunctions!! What a bloody disappointment!!
