Mac Voice Control

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

Mac Voice Control

Post by Leonard Meltsner »

So I've been discovering the joys of using voice control on my computer. I just say "Hallie, *insert command here*" (my laptop's name is Hallie, after My Girl, Hallie). So I just set it up when so when I say "Hallie, system menu on screen", she brings up Launchpad (the list of all my apps). This is, of course, a reference to MABLE. I'm going to have it lock down with the command "3-18-99", and try and figure out how to get a suite of chaotic commands for "Applesauce". This is pure me gusta. Any other suggestions?

So I guess we can assume that the main computer at Whit's End is a Mac! :D

Maybe you could have "the Alamo" as part of your commands, too.

Wow, this is seriously AIO, Leonard. I would have never thought of doing this.
I'm on the Soda Shop and Campbell County Message Boards.

I'm using it as my log in sound. \:D/ Though it has nothing to do with voice control.

Nope. You can do it.
