Having a little bit of trouble with it atm. It randomly decides to screw up my keyboard and mouse. It only lets me type characters like à and nothing else. Not even backspace works. When I leave it running and come out to chrome and try to scroll down a page it ends up zooming out and vice-versa. Everything works fine when I exit the program. Any solutions?

Hi, Nathan. 

Is your listening on all the time?  Is there anything in the VoiceAttack log that says it has recognized anything?  The reason I ask is because for the longest time, my wife's computer would do weird stuff... looked like it was zooming in and out.  Come to find out she was leaving VoiceAttack on with the headset just sitting on her desk (mic on).  VoiceAttack was recognizing some of her words and interacting with her Logitech mouse software.

Also, something that a lot of people do not realize is that you need to make sure any modifier keys (alt/shift/control/windows) are not left in a DOWN state.  So, if you have a macro that pushes down the alt key and does not release it, the application is left thinking the alt key is down.  I do believe I have a bit of code that runs thru all the modifier keys and makes sure they are UP on exit.

Hope that helps some!

All fixed now. It was because I couldn't change the press-release timer. Fixed it by writing two separate commands. Thanks for the help!

Hoe did you fix the one of the ´´e, ´´a and such ?! Since the VoiceAttack isn't listening, the shortcuts are off and the Keyboard is on System Default ( The system is PT-PT )

A fix is coming for that, Antonio.  The problem is the keyboard hook is not converting the, 'dead key' properly.

Thanks :D, is there any ETA for it?!

Ohh and forgot to say, I'm having this problem and I have only added 2 commands ( starting all over hehe :D ) and none of them interacts with the keyboard 

Cumprimentos/Best regards,

I would like to get something out by/during this weekend, after I resolve a few other open issues.  NOT A GUARANTEE.

No problem :D, the main issue is that I have to turn off the voice command and open it again, when I want to type something in Portuguese hehe

Hi, Antonio.  You might want to get the latest beta.  It has a fix for the double accent issue.  What is in beta is pretty much what is going to be in the next full release (I don't have an ETA on the full release).   The beta is here : http://www.voiceattack.com/beta.aspx

Hope that helps!
