Speakable Items Wrecked...
I have an iMac G4 (640MB). I've tried the unusual system software that comes with Jaguar: Ink & Speakable Items. Ink isn't useful. Speakable Items is (but for one big flaw). I didn't buy a microphone, the internal one worked well; but it's quiet where I use my iMac. I wrote my own applescripts, put them in the Speakable Items folder (and created new folders for other applications). And it all worked better than I'd ever seen with OS8 or OS9. It was a real joy to speak the name of my custom scripts to run those scripts while working on something else.
Speakable Items Wrecked...
I had the same problem with my wife's iMac. When speakable items was turned on, the system became very unstable. The Dock was getting all whacked and applications were crashing. I turned it off and things went back to normal.
Speakable Items Wrecked (possible solution)
What you guys may be experiencing is a known bug. I was testing this hint today and found that every time I had speakable items enabled and then switched to the Finder - the Finder would crash. Quite by accident I found the solution in an Apple discussion. There appears to be some odd interaction between Speakable items and some features of Universal Access. If you are having problems with Speakable Items and instability - you might try opening the Universal Access prefpane and disabling the "Enable Access for Assistive Devices" checkbox at the bottom of the "Seeing" tab. Once I disabled that - all the problems I had with Speakable items disappeared. |
