Dear List I have noticed that my escape key does not seem to work, I can be in a menu and the hint says press escape to exit the menu but it doesn't work. This is probably why speakable items fails. Is there any software explanation for this or is my escape key physically broken? Is it possible for the escape key to be set to hardware control like the function keys?
My macbook is new so if the ESC key is broken I will not be a happy bunny.

Mavericks introduced some very exciting features, and I'm thinking of making a version of Talking Dashboard for 10.9 and above only. I'll keep the list posted.

I made a podcast about this and dictation for <http://www.applevis.com/> www.applevis.com, but I don't know if it would be helpful or not. Also, are you running Mavericks? In older versions of OSX I found Speakable Items to be a bit unreliable, but in 10.9 I have only had one small problem so far.

In accessibility it says that it is turned on, all command check boxes are checked,my internal microphone is selected,the ESC key is assigned as listen key and yet it doesn't work. How long do you have to hold the escape key down for? How do you calibrate the microphone? I go to calibrate and it gives me a list of phrases which I presumably have to say but I don't know how to start it. Are there settings in other parts of the mac which can stop spekable items from working such as things to do with the microphone for example,or is the problem likely to be in si settings themselves?

Apps that are running will appear on the Dock when running and disappear when quit unless you perform this step or if they've already been added from within the Finder. Later.
