Hank and all,
under speech in system prefs, there are two tabs, one is speech
recognition. if you select this tab, the first thing you have to do
is turn speakable items on. Be aware that when yo do this, the escape
key becomes the listen key for speakable items so it is sort of
crippled for other functions, you have to press it twice if I remember
correctly in order to use it as an escape key. Once you have turned
speakable items on, it wants you to callibrate the microphone or
whatever input source you have selected for the audio. There are
other options as well and you can even create your own speakable
items. It is somewhat complex, but this should be enough to get you
started.

Hi there all,
I've been just starting to muck around with speakable items... I
have to laugh for as an Australian, I have to put on a US accent
before it will understand me! I get immediate recognition with my
accent which is nice. - just thought I'd share with you my findings
incase anyone else is having trouble.
