One of my long-time "Someday/Maybe" tasks has been to draft a blog post on the MindReader Configuration Map. I figured I'd push this off my aging task list with a quick post this evening and follow up as needed.

Although MindReader is designed to work "out of the box", the mindreader.mmap file provides a way for users to customize it to their liking or language. You can access it quickly by typing "o mapmap" in the GyroQ dialog box. Curtis B. (who I believe was the first user of the tool along with James H.), recently suggested adding call-outs to the configuration map itself to better explain what each branch did and how to customize it. I went ahead and took a shot at that and uploaded a fresh copy to the wiki and as part of the AO-Pack.

If you are using Internet Explorer or have IETab installed, you can browse the sample configuration map by clicking here or download it by clicking here .

MindReader loops around the map for each task you enter or process and looks for keyword matches under each main topic. If it finds a match, it marks up the task based on the branch's function and the note underneath the topic. Once you familiarize yourself with the various branches in the map, you will have a very good sense of exactly what MindReader can do and how it does it. Further (limited) documentation as well as French and Spanish versions are available on the MindReader Configuration Map Page on the wiki.

If you have questions or suggestions, just comment below as its always easier to answer questions than to anticipate them.
