Actually, the first time I did it, I have not a clue what I was doing. I had
heard that pressing the FN key twice made it work. So, without knowing anything
about anything, I pressed it twice and it put me into the setup window. From
then on it worked just great

These are commands you can give, like "what time is it" or "open iPhoto". You
can even select buttons shown in the currently open dialog just by speaking
them. If you are at all familiar with Windows speech recognition, it's like
dictation is the text input part of that and speakable objects is
You're right, I'm really sorry for the misinformation. I keep getting the

Ok, easy enough. What is this about speakable Items I'm seeing how does that

I followed the suggestion of another lister, and it works perfectly.

Third, restart your mac.
All should be working now. I don't know what will happe
