you dont have to say mac all the time

[mrwalnutman]

well i set it so that you do. its better bcuz then it only listens to you when u say that, so you can talk to other ppl too

It seems like it's Simon says, but in this case it's "Mac Says". it's like Mac do this, Mac do that but if you don't say "Mac" it doesn't do anything. o_O.

haha yep:)

how did you get it to play your itunes? Did you have to use an applescript?

[mrwalnutman]

no you can program it to do things like that. its really east, and built into the application.

wow. our computers are making us sound like machines.

"Mac...shoot me now"

[kairedmaster]

as cool as this is, it's yet another sign of how lazy the human race is becoming. What, we can't even move a mouse anymore?

@thumbmaster021 it never loses -__-

[bettyadambrush]

how do you do this

[fridebloney]

The problem I am having is the speech recognition window disappeared and I can't find help to get it back. I've tried all the tips within my software and it is not accepting commands nor showing during a chess game.

Wow you make 'Mac' do a lot soon enough Mac is going to kill you.. I'm just saying. :)

[wayner8088]

I got mine to respond to "Computer" instead of "Mac"....very Star Trek :D

[rvdpadt]

@skoolpie123 you can choose to set a command, like saying mac, or computer, or holding the escape button while talking

Go to system preferences then click speech. After that, go to the speech recognition tab and click "off" on speakable items. I had the same problem with that and couldn't get it off for a week! ^^
