NO, the speech recognition built into MacOS is just for clicking on buttons and
running scripts and/or macros. If you need dictation dragon is, I believe, the
only alternative

Hi all,
does anyone know if you can use this option to dictate instead of type
documents, emails etc.? If so how do you do it and does it work with VO? If it
works like this can it work with pages or text edit?
Thanks

Hi Becky,
the Mac has such a function but my experience is it works not very reliable.
You can switch it on in system preferences. I tried it out but switched it off
again because the results were quite poor.
All the best

The system functionality, Speakable Items, is intended to recognize
specific commands, not arbitrary dictation:
Hi Donna,
When you messed around with that calibration slider, did you move it to a
higher or lower setting?

Lol. I'll have to try that. I'd honestly rather have to say Amadeus or
whatever than to hold the key down. Don't know why, but I think the idea of it
being completely hands-free would be very cool.

Hi Yuma,
thanks. I don't think I'm quite their yet, but have been tweaking the
calibration and it seems to be helping. Also good to have my experience
confirmed that the key press is the better way to go.
Funny that the name you came up with was Amadeus. It also occurred to me that
I believe some obscure latin word can do the trick, or try something in a

Hi all,
I've been playing around again with speech recognition following Yuma's posts
yesterday. My experience is that it seems to work about 3 out of ten times.
Is this others experience? Yuma, you seem to be having a lot of success, did
you tweak anything in the settings to improve
Hi Donna,
I haven't looked at this in a while, but there is a button labelled calibrate
in the speech recognition dialog. It should bring up a slider that you can
move around until it is more accurate. I can't tell you what the slider does,
just that that I moved it around until it was more

Hi Donna,
Greg is right about the calibration. And just as you have tried it, the
constant listening method is a bit quirky as it seems as though the constant
chatter of voice over while we use the computer can probably overwhelm the
listening algorithms. So the best approach is really to keep

Hi All,
So I know there is speech recognition on the mac, and I have quite a few
questions about it.
1. Is it compatible with Voice Over?
2. How does it work with VO?
3. How good is the quality of it, how is it with picking up your words and
writing them correctly.
Thanks.

, then you would need to
buy Dragon for the Macintosh. I know that jsay has optimized Dragon for
Windows, but I don't know if that was just making key commands or what.
Best wishes,

Hello it's Maurice, as you can see I'm replying to your message. As you being

Dictate quite a bit these days, and so far it is much of what I expected a
patient to be. Its success rate is roughly 85% or so. As you read
hello; its good to read your message. I only caught a couple of
hiccups and am generally impressed. and I'm sure your family,
friends, and business associates know you have this problem and don't
mind a few missteps. i get worse emails from sighted people using
blackberries or iphones.
Yep that speech thing is pretty good. I don't use it but my spelling is quite
bad.
Take care.
