Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled on mountain lion?

I'm trying to use speech recognition to input text on my iMac running the latest mountain lion, 10.8.3.
I have sticky keys enabled.
When I try to start speaking by pressing the function key twice nothing happens. I can only get it to work if I disable sticky keys.
The same problem occurs with all the other modifier keys as shortcut, they do not work with sticky keys.
When I try to select a different shortcut, I am unable to select a two key combination, but am limited to one.
If I select the F6 key, or any other single key, I am able to start speech recognition. However the second time that I press the key, it does not stop recognition and process my words. Instead, it restarts the recognition.
Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled?
Or a way to get an individual key shortcut to start on the first press and process it on the second?
Or a way to get key combinations to work, as specified by the help:
Dictation On and Off
To use Dictation, click On.
When you’re ready to dictate text, place the insertion point where you want the dictated text to appear and press the Fn (function) key twice. When you see the lighted microphone icon and hear a beep, the microphone is ready for you to speak your text.
Shortcut
By default, you press the Fn (Function) key twice to start dictation. If you like, you can choose a different shortcut from the menu.
To create a shortcut that’s not in the list, choose Customize, and then press the keys you want to use. You can press two or more keys to create your shortcut.

I noticed with version 10.8.4 of OS X that I am now able to select F6 to activate, and the return key to complete the speech recognition. This is still different than the description of how these should function that's included in the help, but at least it's an improvement.

Speech recognition for a programmer with RSI (not how to do in Java)

Guys, someone that I know has developed RSI and has almost had to drop out of programming.
Has any other programmer here been faced with this and been able to work around it? In particular, have you found a decent speech recognition system that allowed you to continue to work?
Note that I am not interested in learning how to implement speech recognition in a Java program, which is what [most of the posts here|http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5310499&tstart=0] are concerned with.
I am aware of Dragon Naturally Speaking, but there are some terrible reviews of it which have made me nervous. But if any of you give a glowing review, I will reconsider.
Since this is a java forum, and one of the best academic research projects in this field is [Sphinx-4|http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/sphinx4/] which is based on Java, does anyone know of an end user application comparable to Dragon Naturally Speaking which uses Sphinx-4?

Vista vs Tiger's speech recognition

Hi
I was toying around with Vista the other day and decided to try its "Speech recognition" function. I was quite amazed at what it can do.
So, before I go out and spend some money on a Bluetooth or a USB microphone for my PPC mini, how is the "speech recognition' function in Tiger ?
Is it pretty basic or somewhat advanced ? Does anyone know how it compares to Vista's ?
thanks

Don't know for sure... BUT.... I'd create a new user, go the calibration for the new user using your voice, make sure it's working properly, then log back in as your normal user or your daughter and see if you can still use your voice to control things..... if it still works, then I'm guessing Speech Recognition isn't multi user friendly, which, frankly, I'd find surprising.

How can we campare two wave spectrum??Related to speech recognition I have to find out whether a word is matching or not?

I have to match a store data to a given data for speech recognition so plz tell me how I can???

Hi Sattu,
Below is an example program on Voice Recognition. It is an awesome example that uses MSAgent (Or Dragon) to do voice recognition. This example should give you a good starting point.

Symbol speech recognition program appears on desktop when starting parallels

Hello,
when I start parallels, the symbol of the voice recognition program appears on the desktop. I can't remove this symbol from the desktop. Doubleclick only moves the symbol from the desktop to the dock.
I checked the system setup "speech" of my mac:
"voice/speech recognition" and "voice over" are deactivated. So it seems that the setups of windows XP operating system and/or parallels (working tools) are causing this.
How can I remove this symbol? It' s annoying.
Thank you for your reply.

I found it. The parallels settings are linked with the systemsettings on the Mac. So I looked at: Parallels > settings > enhanced > speech > deactivate spoken commands.

How to Switch Off Speech Recognition

I activated speech recognition just to see what it can do and got the round microphone icon in my screen. As I press Esc I can give commands.
I want to get rid of this round thing in my screen though and switch off Speech Recognition completely because I never use it.
I can not find where to switch it off. Who does?

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. This has happened to me many times. I don't know why the circle surfaces, but the common response is false - in my preferences, Speakable items is set to OFF. Turning any of the Speech settings on or off does not make the circle window disappear. The only way I can get rid of it is to reinstall the operating system from scratch (not an update), which is an incredible pain. I've done this twice to get rid of the circle, and it's back again! This is clearly a Snow Leopard bug, since all the responses say when you go into preferences you should see that Speakable items is set to ON, and it's NOT.
Seriously, if ANYONE knows how it gets in this state, and how to get rid of it when it's not responding to preferences. Force Quit doesn't see it. Maybe there's a low level Console way to kill the app - I'd do anything to get rid of that circle...
GUYS - SNOW LEOPARD USERS! I SOLVED IT! I SOLVED IT! I still don't know what triggers it, but here's how you get rid of it without a reinstall:
1) Launch Activity Monitor in flat mode
2) Look for a running task called something like SpeechRecognitionServer and select it.
3) Hit the Quit Process button on the upper left!
Voila, that annoying circle is gone!!!
YIPPIE!
- Jeff
P. S. I just noticed that this bug still wasn't solved in Lion, so hopefully my solution will help Lion users as well. This bug definitely didn't exist in Leopard.

What is Speech Recognition and how do you use it?

Hello, people. I was on my System Preferences and just out of curiosity, I clicked on Speech. Then there was a tab on the right called Speech Recognition. What is Speech Recognition and how do you use it?

When you turn it on the default should be listen only when ESC key is pressed. Hold the ESC key and say, in your normal voice, "show me what to say".
For fun.. say "tell me a joke"

How can I configure Speech Recognition to open specific applications

Hello Folks,
How can I configure Speech Recognition to open specific applications, such as Lightroom, Firefox, etc.?
Is there a way to add documents to do this to the speech preferences folder?
I see an applications folder for example for "mail", can I add one for more applications?
Any help would be appreciated.

In the early days of it I gave it a try out of curiosity. It was quirky then, too. It does appear to be much better but Apple still doesn't help much with documentation on making the most of it. And, they tend to leave much work to the user to maximize its usefulness. I suppose that's why many users would rather spend the $199 for Dragon Dictate - it takes all the mystery out of speech recognition.
But still speech recognition in OS X is really a way of issuing commands. It doesn't type while you talk like Dragon Dictate or Dragon Express.

The speech recognition icon is missing while sending a text message, how do I get it next to the space icon on the keyboard?

The speech recognition icon is missing on the message keyboard next to the "space" button. How do I get it back?

If Siri is turned off, that icon will not be there.

Speech Recognition: Where and How

Hello,
I am curious to learn of Speech Recognition. I am assuming it is a program that will recognize my voice say certain commands that I tell my computer?
I am wondering how good it is at recognizing commands and applying them? Also, I am not sure how to set it up. Could someone please explain?
Thank you so much.

You don't have to write new commands with AppleScript.
Once you've calibrated the voice (in Speech Preferences), you can use various commands to set up speakable items, such as "Define a keyboard command" or "Make this speakable." Options include whether or not the command applies to all applications or just a single application.
Open the Speech Commands panel by saying, "Show me what to say." This opens a contextual panel that shows what phrases the computer is listening for at any given time. You can set it up to listen for more, such as Menu items or Front Window, by changing the settings in the Commands tab of the Speech Preferences.
