Examples for Creating Typical User Commands in SpeakToText and CoolInfo
User Command to Run a Program Registered with Windows (Notepad in this example)
User Command to Run a Program Not Registered with Windows (Winamp in this example)
To determine if an application is registered with Windows go to the command line (start, run) and enter the name of the application (for example “winword” or “notepad”). If the application starts, then it is registered with Windows and you can follow the first example above. Otherwise it is not, and you need to enter the full path to the application as in the second example in order for the User Command to work.
