SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to use a custom voice command created with Microsoft Voice
for a specific application, it is not executed. Instead a different action
may occur.
CAUSE
If there is a global voice command with the same name as the custom voice
command you are attempting to run, the global voice command is executed
instead, even if the application that the custom voice command was created
for has focus. Global voice commands take precedence over custom voice
commands.
RESOLUTION
Make sure that Microsoft Voice is enabled, and then rename the custom voice
command to a name that is not used by a global voice command. To do so,
follow these steps:
- Click the Microsoft Voice icon on the taskbar, and then click Modify
Voice Command.
- Locate the name of the application for which the custom voice command
was created in the Voice Commands tree and click the plus (+) sign next
to the application's name.
- Locate and click the name of the custom voice command in the Voice
Commands tree so that the custom command is selected.
- Click the Rename button.
- Type the new name in the New Voice Command Name line, click OK, and then
click Close.
NOTE: To view the list of Global Voice Commands, click the Microsoft Voice
icon on the taskbar, and then click "What can I say?"
