Hi,

I am working on a patch where I use a Dragon dictate speech recognition software to type the speech into a text via a textedit document (Mac OS).

I am able to open the document by a Shell command within Max but am not able to import the text from textedit to a text box on Max.... not sure which command I could ask...

any insight would be much appreciated! Thank you kindly!
