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
Try turning Speakable Items off and back on again, or switch the listening
method from pressing a key to always on. I made a podcast about this and
dictation for www.applevis.com, but I don't know if it would be helpful or not.
Also, are you running Mavericks? In older versions of OSX I found
I cannot get this to work either. What is the podcast called?

Here's the link, but don't forget Applevis has a search form. This was the
first result I got when I searched for speakable items.

I have never gotten speakable items to work except for when an Apple

This naysaying sound very elementary, but did you restart the computer after

Seems to be working well for me. I do tend to turn it off once I've finished
dictating by pressing the same shortcut key once and then I hear a little blip
which I am guessing tells me that it has gone off. The only thing is that it
switches itself off if I have a longer passage to dictate. I

It appears you are talking about dictation and this is different from speakable

I think this window is meant to show you what method the mac is using for
listening and maybe even visually that it hears you speak.
It is the speech feedback window if I am not mistaken and I think there is a
command to say minimize speach feedback window.
Will try when back on mac and

I have the exact problem that you have. There does not seem to be a way to

short time, but always came back. In addition, I still have

No, tried that. I've tried choosing the close button and it exits, but the
system dialog still remains. I was also having problems with my screen saver
related to the harddisk going to sleep. Perhaps it's not related, but since I
turned off Speakable Items, my harddisk is going to sleep and

You can get out of the dialog easily enough, but you simply can't close it.
It's odd, but not a big deal, at least not for me.

Hi Lisette,
VO actually makes it really easy. You'll know when it recognizes the phrases
you speak because it will make a little whit sound. When you get that sound
consistently after speaking the phrases in the list, you'll know you have it

Hi Les,
Open System Prefs. Type the letter A and you will be taken right to
accessibility. Press VO-Space to select. Press tab to get to the Speakable

and the default is the internal mic. Change this if you plan
I for some reason didn't have to do the calibration. Although I have a like
trouble getting things going, once I did, things went fine. Maybe you only have

Hi Donna and Virginia
I don't even get any sound when I press and hold my speak key. I get nothing. I
know I'm not alone in this but can't figure it out at all. It's not a show
stopper for me if this can't work on my machine, but it would be nice.
On 1/08/2012, at 12:44 AM, Eugenia Firth
You won't get a sound when you do this, you will only get one if the command
you give is understood. Also, make sure the input source is set to the
microphone you will be using.

You can try calibration through trial and error. Just move the control one way
and if it seems less responsive than before, move it the other way. :)
Seems crude but you can definitely do it without sighted assistance.

Hi,
I'm also using the internal mic on my mba. I've noticed that using a keypress
to start a command avoids hanging the system as does using the constant
listening feature.
Beyond that, there might still be some kinks in this speech recognition bundle.
I'd like to try dragon express but
But does it always work fine? Is it reliable? I'm also using a keypress. In my
