Mac OS X 10.4: Speakable Items fails; workaround

by CNET staff

Several users have reported that Speakable Items fails under Mac OS X 10.4.

MacFixIt reader Paul Derby offers a temporary workaround:

"Bring up the Speech preferences in System PReferences. Go to the 'Commands' tab and turn off all the selected items in the ''select a command set' area. Turn speakable items off. Turn speakable items on. Then reselect the items that were previously turned off in the 'select a command set' area. Like magic, the 'speech commands' window suddenly fills with the commands and Speakable Items starts to work."
