No, no. That's how you turn on listening in the GUI. I'm talking about the
Speech Listener scripting addition. It arrived in Mac OS 9-something, and
the speech team at Apple has talked about it for Mac OS X for quite some
time, but it's never actually appeared on Mac OS X. The Mac OS X
SpeakableItems app (which can be turned on from System Preferences) is
scriptable, but that's not the Speech Listener. Speech Listener lets you
write scripts that recognize specific spoken phrases, so you can write
customized speech applets. I know it exists, and the TechNote makes it sound
as if it's part of Mac OS X, but it isn't -- as far as I can tell.
