First off, I was wondering if it was possible to make a script that would type letters you dictate into whatever text-field you had focused, for example, I could tell my computer to "start typing" and then say "H E L L O
[space] W O R L D" "cease typing" and it would write that out for me...
My
second question is a lot less complex - i think... is there a way to incorporate the non-editable applescripts in the Speakable Items Folder into a homemade script? For example, if I wanted Vicki to
on run
try
say "I'm Listening, How can I help you?"
using "vicki"
{insert listen continuosly script}
end try
end run
when I say "listen continuosly"...
so basically i just want some predefined feedback before it launches the script.
Third, I'd like to know how to create Alert boxes with multiple buttons, that go to different places on my computer/internet, example:
the filename in the Speakable Items folder might be "Show me some entertainment" and up would pop a confirmation box titled "what would you like to view?" with three options, one leading to my movies folder on my HD, another opening my games folder (or even better, launching a random game from a pre-defined list), and the third button launching Yahoo! Entertainment or something (or even better, launching a random website from a list or from my Entertainment bookmarks folder.
I know that this is quite a mouthfull, but if anyone can answer any of these questions or point me in the right direction it would be most appreciated - I love my new (first) Mac and it's been so fun messing around with Speech, and i kinda have the conception that anything is possible with Applescript, but i'm a complete noob so I really don't know quite how complicated these scripts would be to create.
I posted this thread over at MacOSXHints.com but haven't gotten a reply yet, if someone answers me over there i'll be sure to say so here. Thanks in advance!
