Speech Recognition doesn't understand my accent

I am trying to use speech recognition on my macbook pro, however it doesn't understand my accent when I say commands. Is there any way to "teach" the mac to understand my pronunciation?

Accents are not supposed to make a difference, but try the techniques mentioned in some of these Knowledge Base Articles.

  • Speech recognition doesn't work

    Hi. I used to use my iBook's Speech recognition software all the time, but can't seem to get my Macbook's to work. Any thoughts?
    I am familiar with it and have got it to work in the past on my old laptops. I also use Text to Speech - I'm not sure why this doesn't work.

    Without knowing the specifics of your problem it's hard to really suggest anything. Have you adjusted your settings correctly in System Preferences/Speech, and while in Finder have you clicked on 'Help' in the top menu? If you enter 'Speech Recognition' in the Help searchbox it will provide you with a lot of different trouble shooting tasks/hints.

  • Speech Recognition doesn't pause iTunes

    I posted this in the Macbook forum, but people suggested I re-post here to see if anyone has this figured out -
    I'm having a problem using Speech Recognition when iTunes is playing. The music interferes with my voice commands and I have to try several times before they are recognized.
    According to the built in Help documentation on my Macbook, "You may prefer to use a listening key if you are in a noisy environment, or for greater control over when your speech is interpreted as a command by your computer. If iTunes is playing, iTunes will pause playing when you press the listening key."
    I've tried that, but the listening key does not pause iTunes. Is the documentation wrong, or is my mac behaving badly? Any ideas on how to fix the issue?
    I'm running iTunes v. 7.0.2
    Thanks

    Yes, I am using the Macbook's internal speakers. That's really where the problem lies, the speakers are so close to the microphone that SR has a hard time picking out my voice. Having iTunes pause or mute as the manual says would solve the problem.

  • My 5500 doesn't understand my accent

    This is not good, I've been using my handsfree function on the 6230i with no probs. I switch to this phone, download songs get to grips with it and its great..... Until I try to use the voice command for a phone number .
    Does the 6300 have the same system ....
    Step backwards I think NOKIA from simple but effective technology that worked well....
    Is there any way of recording a voice tag...
    The other thing thats missing is the auto lock function for the keypad...
    Any help is welcome.

    You can change the accent of the phone to suit yours :
    Menu->Settings->Phone->Language settings->Voice playback language
    That's no use at all if the phone can't recognise you because of a speech impediment, which is the problem I have on my E50.
    Disability rights groups should be marching on Nokia HQ with flaming torches to demand they fix this misfeature and give us back recordable voice tags!

  • Speech Recognition (Dragon) and RoboHelp HTML

    Hello RHelpers,
    I primarily author inside of RoboHelp HTML. I was thinking of getting 'Dragon Naturally Speaking 10' to cut down on hand/wrist strain, but wanted to see if anyone else has used it with RH and what your experiences were. Does it work within this environment? I ask because Vista's run-of-the-mill speech recognition doesn't work too well there but does tolerably well inside of Word / Wordpad. Any feedback is appreciated.

  • Qosmio X500 doesn't hear me using speech recognition / microphone

    Hi!
    I frequently use the Win7 Ultimate speech recognition function.
    However since a couple of days the computer doesn't understand what I say anymore.
    The built-in microphone is now very unresponsive: I have to get as close as within 10-15cm of the microphone in order to get any acceptable results. I don't know what has changed... never had any problems before.
    When I try to do the voice recognition training my computer just doesn't hear me (at least it seems so)...
    I don't know what to do...
    Thanks for your help!
    Regards
    Mario

    Thanks, I checked the volume setting, but it's ok. Something else must be causing this...
    *Anyway this problem is SOLVED,* at least for now.
    I was looking for a newer driver version but found only the original driver from 2010.
    So I couldn't update but reinstall both sound and webcam drivers (I read somewhere that they are closely related to each other) and subsequently the second reinstall fixed the problem.
    Mic works fine again and speech recognition too :-)

  • Can't Get speech recognition  to work.

    When i try to get speech recognition to work nothing happens. I have calibrated it, it regognises everything i said when i calibrated it. I know i am using the right microphone (internal) and it works because you can see.
    When i click on speech commands all that it says is ??? does that have something to do with it?
    Why isn't it working? i don't necessarily need it i just want to know why its not working?
    Thanks Alex.

    yeah my Australian friend showed me his speech recognition, and he had to do and american accent to get it to work as it could not understand his accent at all. They should have a choice of an real 'English' voice on Apple.
    Thanks for your help heres the crash report.

  • Speech recognition not working properly!

    I just started trying out the speech recognition tool in Snow Leopard and I seem to be having problems with it. When I calibrate it (using the internal mic) it works fine and understands those phrases perfectly but when I actually say the exact same thing outside of the calibration process the computer doesn't seem to understand. I know it's picking up my voice because the little widget thing animates as is does when it hears sound and the "Speakable Items" option is set to on . It actually worked once yesterday when I tried it for the first time, I told it to switch to an app and it did but that was the end of it.
    What should I do? I haven't updated the software to 10.6.1, would this perhaps solve the issue? I don't know if it worked before I upgraded to Snow Leopard because this is the first time I've tried it out

    Had the same problem.  Could only resolve by going back to Snow Leopard.

  • Can't save mic calibration (Speech recognition)

    Hi all!,
    I'm trying to use the Leopard Speech Recognition software, but when calibrating I can't save the calibration. So the mic is always at max volume, which means I have to whisper to my mac when I want to open a program... Not very nice... Is this a general issue with the speech recognition software or what is wrong here?
    Sincerely
    Michael

    Agreed and speech software doesn't include dictation features like in Microsoft Windows. Overall I'd say Mac has less functionality but quality is bit better thought you really need to imitate american english speaker for it to work properly. In Windows Microsoft has at least two different types of recognition which are british and american english types. Windows isn't also as strict when it comes to pronunciation. And is more forgiving. They also have programs which help windows to understand your way of speaking more. Commanding the computer works better in Windows also although it's less accurate than OS X.
    Ironically best voice commanding software I know which is built in OS is in IBM's OS/2 Warp 4.5 which really does everything you ask from it using natural language. It also understands if you use different ways to ask for one and same thing.
    But this bug is something I've really got fed up. Every time I start my computer, first thing I have to do is set input volume level lower. It's on "my top 10 annoyances in OS X"-list right after Finder.
    My interface language is finnish and I absolutely hate that I cannot command in (yes/no/ok/accept) dialogs. Does OS X even understand that? Neither I do am able to tell it show all windowses. I know that these are possible to do with right settings. I also understand that I should be using english ui for these to work. But I can ask it to start finder, I can make new folder, I can browse web using it why these commands work properly? Why Apple allows running voice commands in different language UIs when it doesn't work properly at all? It should work even if you use english to command finnish ui.
    I could write a lout about speech commanding. In youtube mac people are fanatic about this but truth is that most of us cannot use it but we can use similar thing in windows os.

  • Speech Recognition stops working after a minute of nonuse

    I'm a grad student trying to keep from exacerbating my carpal tunnel and just figured out how to use the voice commands on my macbook. So far, they work great, they hear my voice, it does what I tell it to do, and I'm not constantly hitting apple+tab and apple+c and apple+v and so on, which really helps my wrists!
    BUT. If I go for more than a minute or two without using a voice command, it stops working. I can't pinpoint anything else that triggers it other than if I stop using it for a little bit while I'm reading a paper or something. The microphone is calibrated and working, the little black arrows and the blue and green bars flash on the widget like it hears me, but then it won't give me the sound that says the command was recognized and it doesn't perform the command any time I try to use it again after a few minutes of not being used. It's like the recognition part goes to sleep and won't wake up.
    If I go to the system preferences and toggle Speakable Itemst off and then on again, it starts working again until another minute or two of non-use. If I use spoken commands constantly, it will stay on for a good long while, but I'm not using it constantly that's the end of speech recognition. I really can't stop to just tell it some unneeded command to keep it awake all the time! Eventually, the computer gets confused if I turn the "speakable items" on and off too many times from the System Preferences, and it gets confused about whether or not it's turned on or off, or the widget disappears but the System Preferences panel thinks the Speakable Items is on.
    I read somewhere that other people with a newer OS have a similar problem if they don't use the default speaking voice, so I switched to Alex and restarted, and the same thing is still happening.
    I'm running 10.5.8, and using safari, word 2011, preview, nothing too crazy. My speech recognition is in "Listen only while key is pressed" mode, and like I said, works great until I stop using it for a minute or so. I'm using the internal microphone on my MacBook (dob circa 2008). Any tips on how I can actually keep my Speech Recognition useful? Thanks in advance!

    OK, I have one more question now, seems to be the same as this question which was never answered years ago:
    Speakable Commands>Application Switching -- how to delete items?
    When I click on the triangle from the speech command widget and open speech commands, there is a TON of stuff there that I'll never ever use, but these things do not appear in the Library/Speech/Speakable Items folder so that I might be able to delete them. For example, one item I'd like to turn off is just the word "Home" and the computer keeps thinking that I said "Home" instead of whatever else I meant to say. Another keeps opening iChat or Mail, when I say "open new window" or something like that. I tried clicking, control clicking, option clicking, nothing will highlight a command in the Speech Commands window so that I might delete it.
    The "Home" command only shows up when I'm using Word, in the "front window" list. However, the Application Speakable Items/Microsoft Word folder is empty. Is there some other way to get into the speakable commands list and weed out unwanted stuff?

  • 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.

  • Speech Recognition not working when tested in IE on Windows 8.1

    Hi,
    I have adapted the example code form the Speech Recognition documentation to fire up Speech recognition in Visual Studio for Web Express 2013 on Windows 8.
    The speech synthensizer works fine when I fire up the app in IE and produce Text-to-speech, but when I try the Speech recognition code, all I get is "Waiting for Localhost" messages, and no result.
    Is there a problem with speech recognition with Web development using browsers? (I tried and failed in Opera as well)
    I am keen to use speech recognition for a webapp, ultimately serving mobile devices with the power of server-based processing.
    Anyone help please?

    Hi simulsys,
    I am moving your question to the moderator forum ("Where is the forum for..?"). The owner of the forum will direct you to a right forum.
    If it is related to the Windows Speech Recognition, this forum would be better:

  • Siri doesn't understand when using headset

    My wife and I are both experiencing this problem with Siri on iPhone 5.  Siri doesn't understand us when using any external headphones.  She's experiencing this with a wireless Jawbone and I'm using a wired Sennheiser/Adidas.  If we turn Siri off, Voice Control works just fine on both devices, and Siri works fine if using the phone by itself, so it's obviously not some sort of accent/mumbling problem or fundamental headset issue.
    Asking Siri for playlist "Peak Mix" through the headphones gets me "You don't have a playlist:" "Keith Nix", "Peter Max", "Cake Mix", ...   Oddly, saying exactly this through the headphones to plain ol' Voice Control (Siri disabled) works JUST FINE.  Also, disconnecting the headphones and using Siri with the iPhone's mic also works JUST FINE
    This also appears to have changed recently, within the last month or so (May 2013).  I don't recall having these issues a few months ago.  6.1.4 issue?  I've tried the "usual" fixes, disable/re-enable Siri, restart the iPhone, etc.

    Siri doesn't understand 'home' if your address is not listed correctly in contacts. It can be the label for the address field is wrong or that your own address is not listed at all. Using iCloud's to store your Personal data instead of for example Google might also help. iCloud has special fields for storing information that Google using exchange sync does not provide, eg fields for storing your mothers and fathers name. Siri can learn a few things while speaking to it but it doesn't understand everything right off the bat. If you ask Siri 'call my girlfriend' but doesn't know it Siri might ask you who she is in your contact list. That doesn't work for everything though.

  • Speech Recognition Not Working. Why?

    I have a 6-month old Macbook (OSX 10.5.5), and I want to try out the built in speech recognition software. For some reason, it won't accept any input, no matter the configuration I put it in. When I click calibrate, it's slow to open, and no matter what I do with the slider, it won't recognize my commands. I've tried it in a new account, but without success. It appears to be system-wide. Also, there are no items in the speakable items folder, and a feedback box does not appear on the desktop. Any ideas?

    Im assuming you've used the Sound pane to check that the built-in mic is working, and that you've remembered to click on the "Speakable Items" radio button.
    There are a couple of fixes that normally work when changing user helps, but it is possible that two user accounts have the same problems!
    1)
    Have you got any items in Address Book that are marked as "Company" but have no company name in them? This is an old problem that was supposed to have been fixed with Leopard, but I've heard people complaining about it occasionally since. If there are, try going through them and putting in the company names, then log out and back in again.
    2)
    Try deleting the preference files
    com.apple.speech.recognition.recognizer.prefs.plist
    com.apple.speech.recognition.AppleSpeechRecognition.prefs.plist
    com.apple.speech.recognition.feedback.prefs.plist
    all in ~/Library/Preferences/
    Failing those, and the missing Speakable Items suggests that's not the fault, try downloading and reapplying the latest Combo updater.
    If that doesn't do the trick, you may have to reinstall the OS.
    Sorry!
