Dictation notation code and how to disable it

[Doug Easterbrook]

hi Nigel

put this code somewhere near when you start up omnis.  it will update your config.json file

the key one is ‘useDictation’.   so set it false.

there are more config.json items you can set….        and the changes don’t take effect right away in studo 10… they will take effect qhen you quit omnis and start it again.

hope that helps.




# set some key values in config.json
Calculate Row as $root.$prefs.$getconfigjson()
If Row.$cols.$findname('macOS')
Calculate Row.macOS as TMObjs.$makeparamrow(Row.macOS,'ignoreTitleClicksInBackground',kFalse)
# V1007363 kfalse to have title on left and icons on right in Monterey.
# V1007363 Ktrue means put title above icons as traditional - decision for keeping interface like old times
Calculate Row.macOS as TMObjs.$makeparamrow(Row.macOS,'useToolbarStyleExpanded',kTrue)
# V1007434 caps lock on sonoma affects data entry reported as ST/WO/2788.
# This was fixed in the latest releases of both Studio 11 and 10.22 (32066) so set it TRUE later after testing
Calculate Row.macOS as TMObjs.$makeparamrow(Row.macOS,'useDictation',kFalse)
End If

Do $root.$prefs.$setconfigjson(Row)



also….   I use  the freely available external TMOBJS to ADD COLUMNS to a row on the fly and replace values if the column is already in the row.

if you don’t want to use that, then you’ll need to use code somewhat like the few lines below for every thing you want to change int he config.json file.



if row.$cols.$findname(’useDictation’)
else
 do row.$addcol(’useDictation’)
 calculate row.useDictaion as kfalse
end if
