*shaking my head* I made progress. I turned off address book items
and turned off speakable items and turned them back on again. I got
it to mostly tell me the joke. I got as far as toast. Hrm. I can't
figure out how to respond to that. :P

Naah, there's a bug in speakable items that causes this to happen.
Try turning it off and then back on again. Failing that, try
restarting the putter. Failing that, try repairing permissions.
Failing that, go into speakable items and deactivate the address
book items and that should fix the issue. There is a resolution
for this in the apple forums but I don't remember what it is.

This is just strange. Now I can't get it to recognize *anything*.
I don't know what I did wrong. I checked the checkbox, and it also
plays a sound that says it acknowledged it., or it did. Now I
don't even get sounds. I hope I haven't jinxed this computer. :)

It does take a bit of getting used to. You might want to
configure it to verbally acknowledge commands. you do have to
wait a bit after it says knock knock to ask who's there.

safari, but I couldn't get it to recognize that command, either.
Weird.

in your home folder, look under library/speech and you'll find
the speakable items folder. I browse this folder eeffectively by
opening it through speech recognition in system prefs. Once
you've opened it, you cange its layout to columns and it might
work better.

Is there a way to get a comprehensive list of commands? I tried
the commands for getting commands but it didn't seem to produce
them. The time works great though maybe a bit slow, and I see
that I can open applications. It also appears that you can
create commands though I haven't read about that yet; maybe you
have to have speech recognition software in addition to what's
on the Mac for that.
