Hi Donna,
Well, I can use "Speakable Items" on my MacBook, but it doesn't work
as well as it does on my PowerBook, where my statements are just
recognized when I speak. I have to repeat some phrases multiple times
for them to register. This would make it quite painful to play a
chess game, for example, where after the first move command I had to
repeat the next one three times. It helps to go through a calibration
sequence under the Settings tab for System Preferences > Speech.
There's a "Calibrate" button, and you read out test commands. But my
MacBook still isn't as responsive as my PowerBook.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Thanks, Esther. You've given me motivation to try and play with
this a bit more. I'm surprised by the situation with the internal
mike, I use it on skype all the time without difficulty.
thanks for letting us know this works, and the links to the
archive. this'll give me something to entertain myself for quite a
while. :)
Best,
Donna
