Hi everyone,

Since I post frequently about Talon*, I thought I would create a special post dedicated to my journey learning to use it in my work as a translator.

My latest discovery is that "mixed mode" actually isn't what I thought it was all this time. I always assumed mixed mode had something to do with command mode & dictation mode, but never gave it much thought.

Turns out, (in the paid version of Talon) there are actually three modes:

Hi everyone,

Since I post frequently about Talon*, I thought I would create a special post dedicated to my journey learning to use it in my work as a translator.

My latest discovery is that "mixed mode" actually isn't what I thought it was all this time. I always assumed mixed mode had something to do with command mode & dictation mode, but never gave it much thought.

Turns out, (in the paid version of Talon) there are actually three modes:

1. command mode: interprets everything you say as commands
2. dictation mode: interprets everything you say as running text
3. mixed mode: tries to interpret everything as a command first, then if it isn't recognized it inserts it as text like dictation mode

See: https://app.slack.com/client/T7FPSMV8F/later

To activate "mixed mode", all I needed to do was add some text (see below) to this file:

C:\Users\mbeijer\AppData\Roaming\talon\user\community\core\modes\modes.talon

Original version:

not mode: sleep
-
^dictation mode$:
mode.disable("sleep")
mode.disable("command")
mode.enable("dictation")
user.code_clear_language_mode()
user.gdb_disable()

^command mode$:
mode.disable("sleep")
mode.disable("dictation")
mode.enable("command")


Edited version:
not mode: sleep
-
^dictation mode$:
mode.disable("sleep")
mode.disable("command")
mode.enable("dictation")
user.code_clear_language_mode()
user.gdb_disable()

^command mode$:
mode.disable("sleep")
mode.disable("dictation")
mode.enable("command")

^mixed mode$:
mode.disable("sleep")
mode.enable("dictation")
mode.enable("command")

As if my magic, I now have something very similar to Dragon, where I can just dictate longer pieces of text without having to say "Say" first, and if I say a command it gets implemented.
