Hi

My girlfriend has badly injured both her wrists and can barely use them. We have been trying to set up her computer (12" iBook running OS X Tiger) so that she can at least use it a little. We've turned on the 'Speakable Items' and have managed to record some commands using it, however there are a few things we still haven't managed to do.

Is there any way to use a voice command to do the equivalent of a mouse click? We've tried turning 'Mouse Keys' on and recording the Fn Key + the '5' numberpad key, which is supposed to simulate a mouse click, but that didn't work. Also, is there any way to create a voice command to simulate clicking and holding the mouse button down/releasing the mouse button?

Can anyone give me a step by step guide to making a Speakable Item using Script Editor, because so far my attepmts to do so have failed.

Does anyone know if there is anywhere that you can download other Speakable Items from that may be of help to us? (I've had a quick look but haven't been able to find any)

Thanks a lot - any help would be greatly appreciated.
