Reader: speech manager integration in OS X
updated 08:20 am EST, Mon March 26, 2001
Mark Torrance passed along a note about speech manageer integration in the final version of OS X:
"I didn't notice this feature in the Public Beta, but in OS X Final when
you run Chess it loads a small, circular speech recognition dialog in
"push Esc to speak" mode. The bottom offers a choice to view the
speakable commands for this application, which include moving your
pieces in Chess by naming them. This works with a Plaintalk microphone
in a G4 minitower, and works almost as well on a new TiBook. I was
really impressed with this level of application-specific integration of
speech recognition; this UI improvement to the speech recognition system
has made me into a real fan."
