Applescript.



Edit your program using the script editor in the applescript folder, in the applications folder. Save it as an application, and save it in home->library->speech->speakable items with the name of the words you want it to respond to.



eg.

Code:

tell application "Finder"

sleep

end tell









Save this as "Bed Time".

so would:





tell application "Finder"

\t

\tshutdown

\t

end tell









shut down the computer or what would?

gargoyle

shut down (with a space)



From the script editor, choose open dictonary then select the program you want to script.

AppleScript is almost like English. It is amazing. It's so great and it has been for so long. And no one knows about it.

I used applescript in 8.6.



I created a script for my dad so that he could pop a page from a book on the scanner and say "enlarge". It would then launch photoshop, scan the image, double the size, and print it out.



How user friendly is that!?!
