AHK script to access all of Dragon Dictate's "Full Text Control" commands in Java app? Thread poster: Michael Beijer

Okay, here's the thing. I am using Dragon dictate inside a Java app. Dictation works great (in fact, I'm dictating with it right now), and a few of the commands work too, but apparently Dragon does not provide so-called "Full Text Control" (FTC) support for Java applications. This sucks though because my main translation app is a Java app. So I had the following idea: if I need to do anything complicated, I could create an AHK script that would: • select all text in t... See more Okay, here's the thing. I am using Dragon dictate inside a Java app. Dictation works great (in fact, I'm dictating with it right now), and a few of the commands work too, but apparently Dragon does not provide so-called "Full Text Control" (FTC) support for Java applications. This sucks though because my main translation app is a Java app. So I had the following idea: if I need to do anything complicated, I could create an AHK script that would: • select all text in the text box in my translation app (CafeTran) • open notepad • paste clipboard into that At this stage, I would have "Full Text Control", and be able to access all of Dragon's commands (select, go to, move around, etc.). When finished here, I'd press a shortcut, which would continue my AHK script: • select all the now edited text in notepad • Alt+Tab (or via some other method) back to my translation app • paste the edited text back into the text box. So this is the rough idea. Can anyone here give me a few pointers on how to create this script?

Anyway, Multifultor can perform all 4 steps automatically. See the manual, section 14 and don't feel unsure because of the word "glossary" there . A glossary in Notepad is just a plain text. So you can force MF to enter yor selected text snippet into Notepad and call this snippet "glossary entry". Sounds strange but is very simple.

Hi Rolf, Thanks for the tip, and sorry for taking a while to reply. Been very busy here, what with my wife having a baby (any minute now) and buying our first house!

I am currently investigating two things: (1) whether it is possible to get Dragon "Full Text Control" working in CafeTran (my Java CAT tool)(Java programs are notoriously inaccessible to Dragon). and/or (2) the workaround sketched in this thread, but using KnowBrainer 2015.
