Shortcut for sending a file as an attachment in an email using Dragon NaturallySpeaking

If you are viewing a file in Windows Explorer and want to send it as an attachment, all you have to do is to click on that file and then say the following command "send to mail recipient".

Assuming that your Microsoft Outlook is open, it will create a new email and automatically attach this file and also add some boilerplate sentences in the body of the email.

I have found this to be very convenient because mostly the workflow is like composing a document then storing it in a particular folder, and then sending it to a mail recipient.

The only problem is that after composing a document and storing it, I have to start Windows Explorer and then locate and click on that document within Windows Explorer.

This can perhaps be simplified by having a script using knowbrainer 2017 for each of the separate applications where a document is being composed but I have yet to get to it.

Reduce finger, wrist and forearm pain due to computer mouse usage with Gentle Mouse

If you are reading this on a computer screen, chances are that you would have clicked your mouse at least a couple of times to navigate through this content. And in most cases, the finger used to click would be your index finger. Now imagine doing this repetitive movement every few minutes, day after day, year after year and you can easily infer that your fingers are at an increased risk of repetitive stress injury (or RSI) due to mouse overuse. The common name given to this painful condition is Mouse Finger . The 'Finger' in Mouse Finger usually leads a person to believe that the pain is restricted to the fingers alone. However, from what I have surmised after reviewing anecdotal evidence and medical literature, it commonly presents as a cluster of symptoms in the finger, wrist and the forearm. Perhaps that explains why there are no easily available research studies pertaining to Mouse Finger alone. Most of the research studies consider these symptoms as a p...

Reduce RSI and chronic pain in your hands and fingers by using whatsapp with speech recognition

Whatsapp has emerged as a extremely popular form of communication in the last few years. In fact, even my doctors are using whatsapp to communicate with their patients. So even though I experience a lot of pain in operating mobile with hands , I am constrained to use whatsapp. A few months ago, after a bit of effort, I will able to figure out a way to use whatsapp hands-free with speech recognition. I'm still trying to find a way to use whatsapp with Dragon NaturallySpeaking on the desktop. Here are two videos that explain how to send and receive messages using whatsapp. As I explain in the videos, there are some shortcomings in both sending and receiving. For example, you cannot dictate more than approximately 200 characters while sending a message. And of course you cannot send a photograph or a video or share another message using speech recognition as yet. With receiving whatsapp messages, depending on your device,, you may have to hear all the unread messages multiple tim...

Medications to control chronic constipation or incomplete bowel movement

I have been dealing with incomplete bowel movement for the last 10 years. I was diagnosed with paradoxical relaxation of puborectalis muscle several years ago. It essentially means that I contract the muscle instead of relaxing them during a bowel movement and that is why the bowel movement remains incomplete even though the stools are well formed and not hard as an conventional constipation. The problem is exacerbated because I have to take medications for chronic pain that will usually cause constipation. Though the line of treatment for this is biofeedback, I was unable to benefit from it. Ultimately, I have been using the same supplements and medications that are being used for people with chronic constipation. The only addition to the list below which may be unconventional is Horlicks. It is supposed to be a very mild laxative but for me it works wonders. So this is the list: Ayurvedic supplement Amla Juice . Somehow only the brand from Patanjali helps me out. Aloe vera...
