Hello,
I bought the premium version and custom shortcuts aren’t working at all. The text shows - the link doesn’t seem to matter - I’ve tried Google, Microsoft, Lipsurf, my own website. The link appears on screen but it doesn’t go to the site. Below are pics of variations I tried to get to Google.
Please help!
Thanks,
Rob
Hi Rob,
Pretty close, but you need to write “go to [url]” so for your test it should be “go to https://www.google.com” in the output.
Ah - got it!
So, what is a custom shortcut then? I mean, if I can just speak “Go to Google.com” - which works great, what’s the point of the custom shortcut? I thought I could create a command and a custom URL, speak the command and be brought to the URL.
Thanks again!
Rob,
I understand your confusion. I think we should do a better job with the wording. Custom shortcuts let you map phrases to other words or commands. In this case you wanted to run a command. In other cases you may want to write out e.g. google.com and that’s the difference in a nutshell.
I too am having trouble with Custom Shortcuts. For example, I am using Google Calendar which has keyboard shortcuts. Pressing t will take me to today’s date. If I press T, or say “press t” with Lipsurf, it performs this function. But if I create a custom shortcut which matches “Today” with the action “press t”, and the speak “Today”, it translates to “press t”, but nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you.
