In theory, it could be anything in Windows or wine. The important difference is
that we can use NaturallySpeaking's built-in tools to dictate into any wine
resident application (which is why dictating into notepad works)
The way things work now, the target application can be launched at any time up
to the point where I need to paste the data. There is no coupling in the current
environment. The current line of thinking is that binding an instance of the
editor to an instance of the application would be a good thing so that you could
work in multiple applications and even leave partially dictated thoughts in the
editors while you go do something else. The example this would be working on
code or documentation as your long-term process and then you get a phone call or
an instant message they need to deal with right away. You would then just switch
to the new application, bind a NaturallySpeaking connection to that application
and then dictate away. When you are done with the introduction, you return to
where you were and you haven't lost any data.
Also, please don't think that all of these state changes need to be manual. They
really should be as automatic as possible so that I can bring up an application
and start dictating. I shouldn't need to do anything else to make it possible
for the text or the grammar driven command and control to reach my target
application.
