CORRECTIONS TO THE MANUAL _________________________ NEW! Drag & Drop. QwikSwitch now has the ability to open any WPS folder. To assign a folder to a hot-key or QwikTalk entry, first select the hot-key or QwikTalk entry, then drag and drop the folder in the area indicated on the main QwikSwitch window (just below the hot-key application button). Don't forget to press the 'Save' button if you wish to permanently record the selection. The drop action will record all the necessary information needed by QwikSwitch to open the folder. NOTE: In order to restore a folder with QwikSwitch that been minimized, you must have the "Button appearance for windows" (open->settings->window) for the folder set to "Minimize button", not "Hide button". Setting the "Minimized button behavior" to "Hide window" will achieve the same result as "Hide button". NEW! QwikSwitch can now use the customized DOS settings of a DOS program object. You must, however, use the .exe located in the drives folder. You can change the DOS settings for the .exe object in the drives folder, just like any other program object. Drag and drop onto QwikSwitch. Data file objects from the drives folder may also be assigned to QwikSwitch. The default action for opening data objects will be invoked. HISTORY OF ENHANCEMENTS __________________________ Version 1.1 1. QwikSwitch has 2 new pre-programmed 'Hot-keys': i) CTRL+SHIFT+'keypad +' will lock up your OS/2 Desktop. (not supported on OS/2 2.0) ii)CTRL+SHIFT+NUMLOCK will issue an OS/2 shutdown. Version 1.2 1. Added speech recognition, using IBM's ICSS, where applications can be assigned to words, (ie 'EPM.EXE' to 'Editor'). ICSS run time libraries are required to use this facility. 2. Added special QwikWords: 'Lockup', 'Stop Listening', COMPUTER, and 'Turn mike Off'. 'Lockup' not available on OS/2 2.0 machines. 3. refer to additional file : QWIKTALK.TXT for more details on the speech recognition capibilities of QwikSwitch. 4. Additional button added to 'button bar' to turn on & off speech recognition. 5. QwikTalk Monitor added to monitor QwikSwitch Speech Recognition. 6. Preferences window & program startup windows changed to support setting up speech recognition 7. Added 1 new pre-programmed 'Hot-key': i) CTRL+SPACE will toggle on/off the michrophone. 8. Added 'Speech demo'. See QWIKTALK.TXT for more details, and fun! 9. Documented how to start up full screen & seamless DOS & Windows sessions/applications. 10. If you have ICSS installed, you can enable speech recognition in QwikSwitch just by pressing the button to toggle speech recognition on/off. It is just to the left of the 'Disable' button. QwikSwitch speech recognition settings are available from the preferences/options settings button. The 'Display Speech Monitor' option is highly recommended, as is will give you feedback on when a word was recognised. 11. QwikSwitch invoked 'Lock-up' disables Hot-keys and QwikTalk. Use CTRL+SHIFT+'keypad -' to enable QwickSwitch Hot-keys, and use CTRL+SPACE to enable QwikTalk.
