If you use Australian or Irish (and perhaps others, but not U.S.) set as your region (using the International prefs panel), and you use Speakable Items, here's a workaround for a subtle bug. When using Speakable Items to hear the current day by speaking "What day is it?," the answer is missing a space. This means you hear something like "It apostrophe s Tuesday 12th July." Although not present in Mac OS 9, I think this bug is in every version of Mac OS X...
Here's how to fix it:
Here's how to fix it:
- Turn Speakable Items off if it is running
- In terminal type the following:
sudo vim /System/Library/Speech/Recognizers/AppleSpeakableItems.\ SpeechRecognizer/Contents/Resources/SpeakableItems.app/Contents/\ Resources/WhatDayIsItSIAction.plist - Go down five lines and across so the cursor block covers the open angle bracket in the line <string>It's</string>, after the word It's
- Push 'i' to enter insert mode, and type a space, such that the line now reads:
<string>It's </string> - Push escape to exit insert mode. Type ":wq" to write/save and quit
