Hi All,
Okay, I said a couple of the phrases in the calibration setup and I heard a
sound. So I'm guessing this should work now? I redefined the key again, now
it's Command Escape. I hold it down for about a second and speak, What time
is it. I hear no response from the computer. Now
Hi Lisette and Les,
Are you guys sure you have the on button pressed in the Speakable items
settings? It's kind of hard to tell, so I would suggest going back in, and
pressing VO-Space to select Speakable Items On, then restarting your Mac.
Best,
Donna

Okay, I have this working, but it's very intermittent. While I like the
concept, it doesn't seem practical to use it right now: if I'm missing
something, let me know. What are other's results getting this to work reliably?

Mine works maybe 70% of the time. However, I have a cheap desktop microphone
feeding into a $3 USB sound card, plus a fan in the background. I'm sure that,
with a better microphone, I'd get much better results. As with any speech
recognition, the microphone makes a lot of difference I'd expect.
