In my on-again off-again love-hate-love-smash-fix-love-give up relationship with voice recognition, I've found that the consensus is correct and Mac VR works much better in push-to-talk mode compared to continuous listening. Now, I can get wireless lapel or headset or whatever mics, but I can't get a wireless keyboard button. The best is a wireless mouse, but even the best of those have a tiny range. Nowhere near as much as the headset.

So, can anyone tell me how to turn an X10 remote button press into the Push-to-talk button for Mac voice recognition? Anyone have a better idea?

Thanks.
Brian

I've had sketchy results with the x10 FOBs and the W32RF800s

But you would use the security script.
Here's my code added to work 2 of the buttons for iTunes

Code: Select all

      if eventType is sec_LightsOn and devID = 44 then
         tell application "iTunes"
            next track
         end tell
      end if
      if eventType is sec_LightsOff and devID = 44 then
         tell application "iTunes"
            playpause
         end tell
      end if
