Error during initialisation of Dragon NaturallySpeaking

[findausername]

Hello,

I tried to install caster on Windows 8 with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 2012 and Natlink 4.1 papa. Previously I installed the bundle from this website to ensure that I have the right version of Python installed: https://sourceforge.net/projects/natlink/files/
During the initialisation of Dragon NaturallySpeaking there was an unexpected error, so I tried an older version of Natlink which was used in the installation Demo video (Natlink 4.1mike). That also didn't work.

I get the following error message:
Vocola not active

Could you please give me a hint to resolve the cause of the error? Thank you

You likely either have the wrong version of Dragonfly installed, or don't have it installed at all. That says you're crashing on a Dragonfly import.

I also received this error message below, which is very similar. Not sure how to handle this. I've downloaded the most recent dragonfly(4.1papa) and was using it without issue before installing caster. also I'm using Pythong 2.7. Any additional suggestions?

Error loading caster from C:\NatLink\NatLi I also received this error messagenk\MacroSystem_caster.py

I'm not sure how to handle these errors. Any suggestions?

Dragonfly doesn't use words in its version numbers (like 4.1papa) -- Natlink does. RuleWrap is a Dragonfly class. I suspect that you too did not install Dragonfly correctly. The latest version of Dragonfly is 0.6.6b1. You should follow these instructions (and ignore the annotations, as the problem they were addressing has been corrected): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNAsV4pcnEA

Also, as of Natlink 4.1oscar, you should no longer be putting Caster in the /Macrosystem folder. It will probably still work, but that's not the standard Natlink/Dragonfly configuration anymore. Instead, in the Natlink GUI configurer (start_configurenatlink.py), you should enable and set the UserDirectory option.

Thank you. I watched the video link and reinstalled dragonfly exactly as done in the video and caster appears to be functional now. I don't remember following the videos instructions during my initial install.

[synkarius]

Excellent. Glad to hear it.

However I don't seem to be able to find the words "RuleWrap" anywhere in any of the files in https://github.com/t4ngo/dragonfly.

Perhaps you could tell us which file this portion of code is in?

@DecisionNumerics t4ngo/dragonfly is outdated, Caster uses https://github.com/Danesprite/dragonfly. RuleWrap is in https://github.com/Danesprite/dragonfly/blob/master/dragonfly/grammar/elements_basic.py
