Fixing the NOUNs in Words
Strategy
If you import a "Words Strategy" MTI
file into your Pathfinder, you will find that when you hit ICON + NOUN
key, it gets it wrong. "The dog" becomes "dog the,"
or "a disk" becomes "disk a." Clearly this isn't the
way to go. The problem is due to one of those software differences between
Pathfinder and Liberator that means a fix is needed.
These Noun problems have a two-step solution:
Step 1. Adding a Symbol sequence: Although you can use any sequence
you like, I recommend using L8 + whatever NOUN key. Here's what you store
there:
Icon Sequence
|
Macro
|
ICON_L8 + A+NOUN
|
<EDIT-MODE><LEFT>a_<SPEECH-OFF><EDIT-MODE><RIGHT><SPEECH-ON><CTRL><SPEAK-NEXT-WORD>
|
ICON_L8 + THE+NOUN
|
<EDIT-MODE><LEFT>the_<SPEECH-OFF><EDIT-MODE><RIGHT><SPEECH-ON><CTRL><SPEAK-NEXT-WORD>
|
ICON_L8 + THE+NOUN PL.
|
<EDIT-MODE><LEFT>the_<EDIT-MODE><RIGHT><RIGHT><DELETE-CHARACTER><SPEECH-OFF>s_<SPEECH-ON><CTRL><SPEAK-NEXT-WORD>
|
Step
2. Assigning a Dependent Icon for each of the three NOUN keys: In the
Toolbox, choose ASSIGN KEY MENU and select the icon (A+NOUN, THE+NOUN,
or THE+NOUNPL). Then choose "1. Minspeak Assignment" and hit "5. Icon
Type" until you get the message "Do you want to make the icon XXX
a dependent icon? Say YES.
Choose the NOUN key as the icon on which this will depend. Then enter
the following:
Icon
|
Dependent Icon
|
Macro
|
A+NOUN
|
NOUN
|
<ICON(ICON_L8)><ICON(A+NOUN)><ACTIVATE-KEY(O8)
|
THE+NOUN
|
NOUN
|
<ICON(ICON_L8)><ICON(THE+NOUN)><ACTIVATE-KEY(O8)
|
THE+NOUNPL
|
NOUN
|
<ICON(ICON_L8)><ICON(THE+NOUN PL)><ACTIVATE-KEY(O8)
|
For each of these, you will have to hit INSERT TOOL first. Note that
the icons you choose must be the ones you used in Step 1. The ACTIVATE
KEY command will select the key on the Words Strategy overlay.
Don't worry if you don't understand the steps as long as it works. Any
problems? Yes. If speech is OFF, when you choose ICON then TO+VERB, it
leaves the speech ON after the sequence. If anyone has a way around this,
let me know.
