Web Links to Macros
There are many macros posted for use with NaturallySpeaking. These sites point directly to NatSpeak macros as of October 2002. Some have additional information that may be useful in specific cases. Some only have a few macros, some have 100's. I've tried to indicate what programs are covered by the macros knowing that most people won't need all of these. Most of these are for Release 5, dvc format macros. Please send me links to other such sites!

- Smart TTS
- Performs "smart" preprocessing on the Windows Clipboard prior to "reading" the Clipboard's contents using text-to-speech (TTS) technology. This can make the resulting speech more intelligible. Preprocessing of individual words is configurable.
- Generic Movement
- This package makes is possible to "move" continuously in up to four directions ("up", "down", "left" right") in a manner which is intuitive for a particular application, by associating keystroke combinations with each direction. This package is a generalization of the cursor movement which appears in Natural Link's builtin _mouse.py module.
