My thought exactly, I guess we are not quite ready for the 24th centery.
But I don't know why we can talk to a computer over the phone for other
tasks and the mac cant do simple voice recognition. But I have to give
credit, it is a heck of a lot better than most! Heather

Thank you, donna.
Yeah! I tried for over 4 days, about 4 months ago to get the speech to
work
and it was a total bust.
As a major Star Trek fan, I would love nothing more than to be able to
talk
to my Mac.
I'm sure, as time moves forward so will speech access.

Hi Mark,
the guy at the Apple store made it sound like a breeze, but so far I'm
getting nothing. 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

Hello Donna.
I tried working with the speech activation feature on my Mac but never
had
that much luck with it, surprisingly.
I hope you have better luck with it than I.

Hi all,
I was in the Apple store this afternoon and learned that you could give
spoken commands to the Mac. so, I've gone into system preferences and
turned it on, and I did some work trying to calbirate the microphone, but
I'm having no luck getting the spoken commands to work. Does any one have
any pointers on how to do this successfully? I have it set up to be
activated by spoken workd, and have left the default setting of the word
computer.
TIA,
Donna
