Hi Donna: I watched a one to one trainer attempt to demonstrate the Mac's voice command recognition ability. Quite honestly, I was embarrassed for her how poorly it went. I don't think apple developers have spent a lot of time on this part of their goal of universal access.I think Melissa may have gotten an answer to "what time is it?" and that's about it. :)

I may go back in and see if he can help me further. In either case, I'll keep you posted. Seems like a really handy feature, I could get into being Jean-Luc Picarde! lol Donna On Nov 28, 2010, at 8:11 PM, M.
