I have also found that it helps to hold it for about a half second before you start speaking. Also, in system prefs make sure you have the right listening method checked. It's in Accessible Items under Listening key tab. You have two choices, one is listen when key is pressed, the other is listen when keyword is spoken. >>>> HTH, >>>> Donna >>>> On Jul 31, 2012, at 10:51 AM, Neil Barnfather - TalkNav <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> >>>>> I have found it thank you, my question now is why is it not working! >>>>> >>>>> I have enabled it all, and turned the feature on, yet, even by changing the command key and restarting nothing happens. >>>>> >>>>> what is unclear, is am I supposed to press and hold down the key I nominate? >>>>> >>>>> thanks for any hands on practical usage info. >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Regards, >>>>> >>>>> Neil Barnfather >>>>> >>>>> Talks List Administrator >>>>> Twitter @neilbarnfather >>>>> >>>>> TalkNav is a Nuance, Code Factory and Sendero dealer, as well as >>>>> an Apple iOS, Macintosh and Android accessibility specialist.

Go to system preferences, accessibility, and find it in the table of options. From there, select the tabs you want and configure things as necessary. I recommend going to the commands tab, then the table of command sets, and turning on everything. >>>>>> On Jul 31, 2012, at 11:31 AM, Neil Barnfather - TalkNav <[email protected]> wrote: >>>>>> >>>>>>> sorry, where do you enable that bit though, I mean I can dictate no issue, but, how does one ask what day it is etc? >>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Regards, >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Neil Barnfather >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Talks List Administrator >>>>>>> Twitter @neilbarnfather >>>>>>> >>>>>>> TalkNav is a Nuance, Code Factory and Sendero dealer, as well as >>>>>>> an Apple iOS, Macintosh and Android accessibility specialist. >>>>>>> For all your accessible phone, PDA and GPS related enquiries >>>>>>> visit www.talknav.com >>>>>>> >>>>>>> URL: - www.talknav.com >>>>>>> e-mail: - [email protected] >>>>>>> Phone: - +44 844 999 4199 >>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>> On 31 Jul 2012, at 01:48, Alex Hall <[email protected]> wrote: >>>>>>> >>>>>>>> These are commands you can give, like "what time is it" or "open iPhoto". You can even select buttons shown in the currently open dialog just by speaking them. If you are at all familiar with Windows speech recognition, it's like dictation is the text input part of that and speakable objects is the other part that accepts commands for system operations. >>>>>>>> On Jul 30, 2012, at 8:45 PM, Tim Emmons <[email protected]> wrote: >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>> Ok, easy enough. What is this about speakable Items I'm seeing how does that effect this. Sorry I'm so late coming into this, I've been at work today and not able to keep up with this a lot as they haven't upgraded us yet. Thanks for your patience guys. >>>>>>>>> On Jul 30, 2012, at 7:41 PM, Alex Hall <[email protected]> wrote: >>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> You go into system preferences, then accessibility. Interact with a table and select dictation. Turn it on, then follow the dialogs. If you are using a usb microphone, you may have to going to sound preferences and set the input source to be that USB microphone. >>>>>>>>>> On Jul 30, 2012, at 8:38 PM, Tim Emmons <[email protected]> wrote: >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>> I'm just getting used to Mountain Lion.

I have a cheap desktop microphone going through a cheap usb sound card (since the mac doesn't support direct input of non-powered mics) but it is still doing really well. In my quick tests, it made no mistakes. This, paired with that amazing speakable items feature, will make me an even lazier person than I already am. Ironically, I didn't dictate this entire message. I did, however, dictate these last two sentences. I should also add that there's a ceiling fan going in the background. >>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Have a great day, >>>>>>>>>>>>> Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini) [email protected]; >>>>>>>>>>>>> http://www.facebook.com/mehgcap >>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>> -- >>>>>>>>>>>>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. >>>>>>>>>>>>> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >>>>>>>>>>>>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. >>>>>>>>>>>>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>> -- >>>>>>>>>>>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. >>>>>>>>>>>> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >>>>>>>>>>>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. >>>>>>>>>>>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. >>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>> -- >>>>>>>>>>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. >>>>>>>>>>> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >>>>>>>>>>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. >>>>>>>>>>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> Have a great day, >>>>>>>>>> Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini) [email protected];
