Speech recognition instructions

Does Apple have a knowledge base article, or something, that gives decent instructions on how to make use of the Speech Recognition program? I am not referring to Spoken Commands such as Open Window, etc.
Helps seems to be pretty much useless in this area.

Hi, Ari,
Sorry for the late reply, but the discussions list didn't notify me of your post.

Hi snowshed,
Are you referring to Dictation? There is some information about that here:
Mac Basics: Dictation
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5449
Otherwise, the Speech Recognition information I can find is largely about Spoken Commands.
I hope this helps!

I am referring to Dictation. Everyone else seems to call that feature Speech Recognition. Guess Apple just had to be different.
The link is exactly what I was looking for, but hadn't found. Like you, all I was finding was about Spoken Commands.
I wish I could say I was going to use Dictation for a project I'm working on, but it doesn't measure up to what I can do with Windows 7 in a virtual machine. You just can't have everything, I guess.
Thanks for the link.

Hi,
You can try to add new words to open bat file in Speech dictionary:
Say "start listening," or tap or click the microphone button to start the listening mode.
Say "open Speech Dictionary" and do any of the following:
-To add a word to the dictionary, say "Add a new word," and then follow the instructions.
For details commands you can use, please refer to this article:

Speech recognition server using all kinds of memory!

I'm running an imac 27" with 8gb of memory and have been doing some video work lately. Watching things with activity monitor I noticed that speech recognition server process was using 800mb + of memory. Normally I keep speech recognition started but activated by voice suppressed with the escape key.
I have already found that -using- speech commands prevents the computer display from going to sleep, like this discussion - https://discussions.apple.com/message/11395271?searchText=speech%20recognition%2 0server#11395271
I reported this as a bug to Apple, and they admitted there is a problem, and that maybe they will fix it but no guarantee.
I created a workaround for the display sleep that seems to alleviate both situations, I "wrote" an applescript to restart speakable items. It's pretty simple but you have to wait for the processes to go away, around 30 seconds or so.
Has anyone else seen or reported the excessive memory use with speech recognition?

That's wishful thinking if you think an update will be made overnight by Apple because of a complaint by an individual.
10.7.3 reportedly only updates:
Add Catalan, Croatian, Greek, Hebrew, Romanian, Slovak, Thai, and Ukrainian language support
Address issues when using smart cards to log into OS X Resolve issues authenticating with directory services Address compatibility issues with Windows file sharing
10.7.2 reportedly only updates:
iCloud stores your email, calendars, contacts, Safari bookmarks, and Safari Reading List and automatically pushes them to all your devices. Back to My Mac provides remote access to your Mac from another Mac anywhere on the Internet. Find My Mac helps find a missing Mac by locating it on a map and allows you to remotely lock the Mac or wipe all its data. Getting started with iCloud is easy. After installing the update, OS X will automatically present an iCloud setup panel. Simply enter an existing Apple ID or create a new one and then follow the on screen instructions. To learn more about iCloud visit http://www.apple.com/icloud.
The 10.7.2 update also includes Safari 5.1.1 as well as fixes that: Allow reordering of desktop spaces and full screen apps in Mission Control.
Enable dragging files between desktop spaces and full screen apps. Address an issue that causes the menu bar to not appear in full screen apps. Improve the compatibility of Google contact syncing in Address Book.
Address an issue that causes Keynote to become temporarily unresponsive.
Improve VoiceOver compatibility with Launchpad.
Address an issue that causes a delay in accessing the network after waking from sleep.
Enable booting in to Lion Recovery from a locally attached Time Machine backup drive. Resolve an issue that causes screen zoom to stop working. Improve Active Directory integration.
10.7.1:
Address an issue that may cause the system to become unresponsive when playing a video in Safari. Resolve an issue that may cause system audio to stop working when using HDMI or optical audio out. Improve the reliability of Wi-Fi connections. Resolve an issue that prevents transfer of your data, settings, and compatible applications to a new Mac running OS X Lion. Resolve an issue in which an admin user account could be missing after upgrading to OS X Lion.
These are each information from the various update pages.    While Apple has been known to include unreported updates in their version updates, the closest to something desired was the Voiceover improvement in 10.7.2. That though is of speech from putting the cursor over text to read out loud.
If they are running 10.7.3, and have not seen improvement, then my advice from my other post is good.
I would also indicate that one is running 10.7.3 in one's profile so one knows one isn't missing any updates that may not already be applied.

Voice/Speech Recognition

We are volunteers trying to add a web Speech Recognition
feature to help language learners practice their word
pronunciations. Our website is www.ElGuides.cc. Please give
recommendations on workable plug-ins for DW CS3. (Voice Web Studio
1.1.1 has not opened -- Adobe Extension Manager requesting DW MX
and no help from developer yet.) Thank you, EL92103

You're not going to find a Dreamweaver "plug-in" for a fringe
piece of software. You'd be better off finding an application that
works on your hosting platform, and then following the instructions
that come with it.
Try searching
http://www.hotscripts.com for
something that is suitable.
Also, don't repost the same question when no one answers
you.

System sleep settings become disabled when speech recognition is enabled. Is this by design?

There was another setting in bois I found that required scrolling in the bios screen. Tricky to find with no mouse.
I am not sure if some day these terminologies can be standardized so someone can follow very specific instructions rather than vague instructions that are further obfuscated with the use of technical acronyms.
That is the problem, that error message in VM is not explicit enough as to what steps to take to correct the problem. These bois screen authors decide arbitrarily to name settings as it relates to their world personally and there are not standards.
I still don't know how that got changed in the first place but that is not an issue with VM ware as to what else is changing the setting.
Do you have any explicit suggestions as to how the error message can be improved?

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?

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.

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 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?

I wanted to buy a Dragon ,Speech Recognition Programme for Mac but it says its for Lion, and I have Snow Leopard. Would it have worked on Snow leopard?

I wanted to buy a Dragon ,Speech Recognition Programme for Mac but it says its for OS Lion, and I have OS Snow Leopard. Would it have worked on Snow Leopard?

The simplest method would be to ask them for their Snow Leopard version and say you can't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8. I'm almost sure they will sell you a copy.
Generally if your machine can only upgrade to 10.7 Lion and not directly to 10.8 Mountain Lion, then it's best left on 10.6.8. in my opinion as your going to loose too much other software and slow down your machine in the process.
This rapid OS X upgrade cycle has caused plenty of problems for users and developers alike, so I suspect you will find a sympathizer with the developer.
In fact I'm not recommending Mac's to anyone anymore because Apple simply has lost touch with reality.

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 problem with null pointer exception

im trying to run the simple hello program that came with IBM speech for java
i've put the speech.jar file in the right folder and it compiles all fine but when i run it i get this error:
locale is en_US
java.lang.NullPointerException
at Hello.main(Hello.java:171)
but i dont know enough about java speech to figure out what is null and what shouldn't be null...
thx

yes, the problem seems to be with allocating the engine, but I don't know exactly why recognizer.allocate() returns null...I have already installed IBM ViaVoice and Speech for Java, and have set the supposedly correct paths...

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:
http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/wsrmacros/Thread/List.aspx
Or it is the Speech Server issue:
