What I say seems to bypass EmacsListen. What to do?
If what you say is inserted in your current buffer, but does not appear in the *EmacsListen* buffer, then speech input is routed directly to Emacs (via a default mechanism that ScanSoft provides). Nothing is ever inserted via vr-mode into any buffer, except the *EmacsListen* buffer. When you say “ghin line”, NaturallySpeaking simply emits that text into the *EmacsListen* buffer (via vr-mode). (Hook functions in EmacsListen are then invoked to parse the changes in the *EmacsListen* buffer and to produce the desired listen event.) If vr-mode for some reason has gotten confused, then you’ll see the words “ghin line” in your current buffer. This means that vr-mode has lost its focus. I suspect what has happened is that you have had two Emacs processes running at the same time. This may sometimes confuse vr-mode, unfortunately. In that case, the Emacs in which you are running *EmacsListen* may not be recognized by vr-mode anymore. If vr-mode loses it, then clicking on the blue bar on *Emacs
