Is there a scriptable way to turn Apple Speakable Items on and off? I'd use it a lot more if I didn't have to dig into System Preferences every time I want to turn it on or off. My guess is that you'd have to use a Unix utility or modify a default, but I can't find it in either one of those areas.

Maybe this will work to start it (it works for me in OS X 10.2.8):

set speech_ to (path to "spch" as Unicode text)
set app_ to (speech_ & "Recognizers:AppleSpeakableItems.SpeechRecognizer:Contents:Resources:SpeakableItems.app:")

tell application "Finder" to open file app_

You can issue a verbal command to quit - "quit speakable items".
