One does not "dictate" in the same way as to a secretary, as one is controlling the keyboard by voice commands and indicating how the screenplay is punctuated. I used "Courier New" as a Theme font, (which comes with Microsoft), which can be easily switched to another font, (such as Courier MM Screenwriter), for the body of the screenplay. The margins were set to match those used for screenplays in MMSW6.
I have set up a Word template that utilizes the Function keys for the styles of screenplay elements: F3 for "Title / End", F4 for "Scene", F5 for "Shot", F6 for "Action", F8 for "Character", F9 for "Parenthetical, F10 for "Dialog", F11 for "Dialog (Lyrics)", and F12 for "Transitions". My aim has been to enable either keyboard or voice input, to produce a decent draft in Word 2007, which could be imported into MMSW6, and to demonstrate that input into MMSW6 can be done with only dictation and voice commands. And, I tried out my Word template with DNS and succeeded in writing a brief screenplay, entirely by dictation and voice commands. In response to a thread at the Done Deal forums, I looked into the matter of Word templates that might be used for either typed input or dictation with voice commands.Ī week ago, I succeeded in writing a brief screenplay using DNS and MMSW6, without using a keyboard or mouse, (other than to correct my errors). I was surprised by the result, tho I still needed to use the keyboard and mouse to make it work. I was a bit lazy and tried the program out first with MMSW6. I was wondering if I might be able to dictate a rough draft of a screenplay into Word 2007 and then import the rough draft into Movie Magic Screenwriter 6 for editing and formatting. About three weeks ago, I purchased the Home version of Dragon Naturally Speaking (11.5), during a sale, to see how it might work.
