James,
I found a thread in the Apple discussions forum that covered this and
provided a partial fix.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?forumID=759&threadID=150253
The fix is to rectify 'null' entries in Address Book, where a 'null'
entry has the Company Name box ticked, but no company name. Fixing
these up (by making sure a company name is present) saw the speakable
item commands come back (on a G4 Powerbook).
I say partial solution however, as on my G5 iMac, there are no
speakable items visible either. But the iMac has no files at all in
the ~/Library/Speech/Speakable Items directory. No idea why not,
this was factory installed with Tiger.
You suggestion about the factory master folder was good ... found the
files at:
./System/Library/Speech/Recognizers/
AppleSpeakableItems.SpeechRecognizer/Contents/Resources/
SpeakableItems.app/Contents/Resources/GlobalCommandFiles
Hope copying these over fixes the G5.
Many thanks.
Glenn.

Hi Glenn,
Did you get to the bottom of this? Are there any items in your
Speakable Items folder (Home > Library > Speech > Speakable Items"
(also available via the Speech system preferences). I think those
files get copied to your personal folder from the factory master
folder which is located elsewhere on your hard drive.
