Hi Gina and Lee. If your escape key doesn't work, you can also program
it to listen for a key word. For example, if you wanted the keyword to
be Siri, you could program it to respond everytime you say Siri. After
you say the keyword, it'll make a sound and then you can issue the
command you wan

Dear List I have noticed that my escape key does not seem to work, I can be
in a menu and the hint says press escape to exit the menu but it doesn't
work. This is probably why speakable items fails. Is there any software
explanation for this or is my escape key physically broken?

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

You won't get a sound when you do this, you will only get one if the command

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
calibrated.

Hi Gigi,
Speakable items is a very old topic on this list -- this feature works on the
PowerPC platform, too, and there are some old discussions about playing Chess
on the Mac with Speakable Items turned on. This feature is turned on in System
Preferences > Speech under the Speech Recognit
It is under accessibility.
The last option in the table.
