Regarding the "go to sleep" command- I have also had problem with this- the
computer interprets it in some saying some really odd ways on occasion! One
option may be to try an entirely new command, such as "rest now" or "take a
nap" (to stay with the sleep theme) Tell the computer to train on "go to
sleep" but say the new command. I had to use this technique with one
student
who could NOT pronounce a command correctly- it worked well for him.

Subject: "Go to sleep" command
Hi all,
Hoping all the brilliant minds will help me solve a
problem.
Have a young
man using NS 4 and he is doing well except, the
command go
to sleep keeps
coming up as written text "ghostly" We have tried
training,
re-training,
substituting "Go sleep" but, needless to say,nothing
works.
The
frustrating
part is that the text the young man dictates is at
about 89%
accuracy rate
when he does a short dictation doc. By the time he
has said
"go to sleep"
three of four times in sequence, his level of
frustration is
totally
corruptive of any acceptance of command.
We are going to 5.0 on Monday but, I have concerns
that the
same problem
will
arise. Ooops, the young man noted does not have use
of his
hands so
clicking on the mouse to stop dictation will not work
and
due to
processing,
he needs to be able to stop after short periods of
dictation.
Any solutions will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks
Nettie
