Hi Karen, It is very doable. I’ve been doing it all afternoon. It takes some getting used to, because the way you speak commands Hass to echo the actions that you would take using a mouse or a keyboard. So for example, if you’re in the mail app, instead of saying something natural like new message, or create new message, you say click new message. Personally, I’d prefer a system where you can use more natural speech. Maybe that will happen someday. Cheers, Donna
