Dragon Naturally Speaking - working.

Good news and what looks like a first.

Dragon Naturally Speaking 4 working under Wine.
=======================================

reqd riched32 and comdlg32 native from 98SE

Gentoo Linux , 2.6.10-nitro4 kernel
wine-20050111

Fresh Wine installation
installed IE6 using sidenet

Install Dragon from CD no major issues.
copy missing dll's
ran up Dragon , enter user name , setup sticks at setting mike level but  
exits cleanly.

#wine gentrain.exe

picks up user name , dictated training text .

It saves the vocab/voix profiles the drops out with 3 repeat errors but  
the profile is safe

#wine natspeak.exe

Can now dictate in stand-alone mode as in windoze.

I now need some help with the guts of Wine to see if I can capture the  
keystrokes output by Dragon and pipe it to another Linux thread.

Any suggestions on that?

TIA :)

Yes! :)  Document what you did to get it working at
the http://appdb.winehq.com web site so it can get
recorded.  :)

Look at the XTest or Xevie X protocol extensions, they might be useful ...

OK , solid progress here.  I now have NS7 prefered installed.

Steps needed : wine-cvs (20050305 9am CET) on top of wine20050211
  WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32,oleaut32,rpcrt4=n" wine setup.exe

Setup complete without errors.

Dragon NS required riched20.dll , that copy from win98SE CD was deemed too  
old , prog closed cleanly.
copied riched32.dll and riched20.dll from win2k , this worked.

I again hit the error with setting sound levels as I did with V4, I now  
get:

fixme:mixer:MIX_GetLineInfo Unhandled component type  
(MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_DST_VOICEIN)
fixme:keyboard:UnregisterHotKey (0x10080,1): stub
fixme:mixer:MIX_GetLineInfo Unhandled component type  
(MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_DST_VOICEIN)
fixme:mixer:MIX_GetLineInfo Unhandled component type  
(MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_DST_VOICEIN)

This prevents Dragon from initialising the user.

Gentrain.exe is now gentrain.dll so I cant use the nice little work around  
I found last time

This should not be a major problem but I need another way round . The mike  
level is correctly set, I jsut need to convince NS not  to try to mess  
with it.

Any suggestions?

Thx
