Hi, Are you speaking the commands to calibrate while your Escape key is pressed? The Escape key normally needs to be down in order to both calibrate and to issue commands unless you’ve set it differently in the System Preferences. There shouldn’t be anything else you need to set anywhere else on your Mac. I haven’t used the Speakable Items for years but, way long ago, there were issues using this service at the same time as VO was on. It seemed to slow down the response time of the engine and I think that there were a few other issues. Not sure if these were fixed but I assumed that they were. Someone else may chime in who has used it more recently. I will try to take a look at it soon to see if there’s something else you need to know.
