Re: dictation success!
You can say "show me what to say". Also if speakable items is on there is a speech feedback window and there is a menu where you can go to speech comandslist. IT is kind of a table with expandable items. hth, Ioana Please check out my cd on www.ioanagandrabur.com on iTunes and most online stores.

Re: dictation success!
Les hi. Have you tried just using the escape key and not command escape? You're right about the sound being the recognition signal, so I don't get either why it isn't working. Ricardo, you mentioned earlier reporting things to Apple. Although I have done this, I suspect some poor person has been assigned to read all this stuff we're saying, so I think they know. I feel sorry for them if they have to write a memo to someone or something on all this stuff we're saying.

Hi All, Okay, I said a couple of the phrases in the calibration setup and I heard a sound. So I'm guessing this should work now? I redefined the key again, now it's Command Escape.

Re: dictation success!
Yes Donna, very happily productively and successfully using dos to run my two businesses every day. In fact there is very very little I actually desire doing that I cannot do in dos. My machines are tools not toys. there is one thing I can firmly do given the discussion here, I have one of the best word processors in the world, wordperfect, with printer drivers updated and access maintained regularly. Dos in various forms is still updated as well. I have an older mac presently, set up to run pro tools under the outspoken umbrella, and only used for this. I read this list daily, and witness people going through issues constantly that I would not be able to make time for professionally, keeping track of things that remain issues. Likewise, unless this changed in ml, firefox is still not an option, something I can use in Linux if I desire. so while I know the mac adds advantages, it will be, for me another and I speak for no one but myself, no total replacement. At least I can give apple $99 for training though which will be helpful when the time comes.

You can activate, one, both, or neither of them. One is Dictation. this is new to ML. It allows you to dictate what you want to write any time that you are in a text field. This feature is also on the newest iPad, and the iPhone 4s. You can, however, accomplish similar things on an older iPhone using apps like Dragon Dictation. The other is an option in Accessibility under System Prefs called Speakable items.

Re: dictation success!
Hi all, I am writing this using dictation. Regarding the question about getting the date, I think there is some confusion. Dictation is not what is used for getting the answer to your question what is the time or what day is it you need to use speakable objects. For dictation, you will be double pressing your function key or some other key that you have assigned to begin dictation and then pressing the function key again only once or whatever key you have it assigned to be as your dictation to stop talking. For the speakable options, you will probably use the default escape key unless you have reassigned I found I needed to reassign the escape key for speakable options and used F10 as that was the one other seem to be using. When using F10 for escape or whatever other key you have assigned, what you need to do is, hold down the key down while you are speaking. I am having lots of fun with this dictation and speakable options!

Hi Karen, Do I read your message correctly that you're still using DOS? If that's the case, by all means get a Mac. Once you get used to it, you will love it.

Re: dictation success!
Hi Donna, profound thanks. That does make things more clear for me. Its funny as I have been meaning to ask about dragon dictate, may still for a different reason. However this moves me closer to a new mac, since I would have to use a full sized keyboard otherwise. the smaller laptop keyboards were just not giving me the sort of dexterity control I am used to with my main dos machine with he vo controls very awkward, and I was unsure how I would like all that flipping, smile. If one can control more things via voice, then this will make a big difference. On Tue, 31 Jul 2012, Donna Goodin wrote: Karen, There are two different speech features.

Re: dictation success!
Karen, There are two different speech features. You can activate, one, both, or neither of them. One is Dictation. this is new to ML. It allows you to dictate what you want to write any time that you are in a text field. This feature is also on the newest iPad, and the iPhone 4s. You can, however, accomplish similar things on an older iPhone using apps like Dragon Dictation. The other is an option in Accessibility under System Prefs called Speakable items. This you can configure to let you control many different things on your Mac, opening and closing apps, opening and closing documents, finding the time and date, and many other things.

Re: dictation success!
Hi Neal, I also tried using the accent key, but couldn't get that to work either, so went with F10. I have a keyboard shortcut to mute speech, so don't use the F10 mute all that much. I also found that the keyword "computer" doesn't work. I had better luck using Victoria, which is the name of the voice I'm using. So, not sure why computer doesn't seem to work, but you might try a different keyword.

Donna, I've not gone with the F10 idea, as F10 is also mute on the Mac, which can cause issues for obvious reasons… I've used the key directly below esc, however, whilst I can make it work every now and then not any other time… I tried the alternative of using the constantly listen option, being able to call out, computer what time is it, rather floats my boat… neither option are working for me…! any thoughts. thanks.

Re: dictation success!
Yes, the key acts like a push-to-talk, so it works as long as you hold it down. I set mine up to listen for a keyword, but then I'm on a desktop so don't have to worry about battery life or heat. It's pretty neat, though; I can just call out, "Alex, what time is it" and get told, or tell it to open an app or quit something.

Re: dictation success!
Neal, Yes, you need to press and hold the key. I have also found that it helps to hold it for about a half second before you start speaking. Also, in system prefs make sure you have the right listening method checked. It's in Accessible Items under Listening key tab. You have two choices, one is listen when key is pressed, the other is listen when keyword is spoken.

Re: dictation success!
What you are talking about is speakable items. Go to system preferences, accessibility, and find it in the table of options. From there, select the tabs you want and configure things as necessary. I recommend going to the commands tab, then the table of command sets, and turning on everything.

Re: dictation success!
The problem is for us non-macbook users who have no function keys. If that's you, you must go into dictation and speech and set the activation to be something else using the popup menu.

Re: dictation success!
These are commands you can give, like "what time is it" or "open iPhoto". You can even select buttons shown in the currently open dialog just by speaking them. If you are at all familiar with Windows speech recognition, it's like dictation is the text input part of that and speakable objects is the other part that accepts commands for system operations.

Re: dictation success!
You're right, I'm really sorry for the misinformation. I keep getting the speakable objects and dictation mixed up. Of course, it's dictation and speech, not accessibility.

Re: dictation success!
Well, you going to dictation and speech. That's off the system preferences window. Then, you turn the dictation on by pressing the radio button. A dialogue will come up explaining what dictation is and a little bit about how to use it. Then, if you want to use the default key, you just use the FN key twice to start dictating when you get in to a text area. Your Mac wil ping at you to let you know it's listening. When done, just press FN once and you will be pinged at again to let you know it's not listening. There's a limit; so, you can only go so far before you get pinged at to let you know it can't take anymore. twice. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!!

Re: dictation success!
You go into system preferences, then accessibility. Interact with a table and select dictation. Turn it on, then follow the dialogs. If you are using a usb microphone, you may have to going to sound preferences and set the input source to be that USB microphone.

Re: dictation success!
I followed the suggestion of another lister, and it works perfectly. First, enable speakable items, obviously. Second, re-assign the dictation key (I use f10, as was suggested, but I imagine any valid key would work). Third, restart your mac. All should be working now. I don't know what will happen the next time I restart, but for the moment it is all going perfectly.
