The system functionality, Speakable Items, is intended to recognize
specific commands, not arbitrary dictation:

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

I don't believe it works like Dragon, but serendipitously, I was fooling around
with it yesterday,. It appears to have a list of "Speakable items," but I only
ever got "What time is it," to respond as intended, and only one or two times
out of eight or ten tries. I saw no way to add to its spe
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

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

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.
Cheers,

I believe some obscure latin word can do the trick, or try something in a
foreign language. I mean, our computers are all assembled elsewhere, right? ;)

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

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
Hey Greg,
Thanks! That seems to have done the trick. I hadn't messed with the
calibration because I had no way to tell when it was set right, but the
adjustment I made seems to have improved recognition significantly.

I haven't looked at this in a while, but there is a button labelled calibrate

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.
becky and Onyx
Yep that speech thing is pretty good. I don't use it but my spelling is quite
bad.
Take care.
