Voice Interface and Mac OS X 10.9

OK. So I have seen different subjects come and go and some say it's fake or not real....

This is a work in progress and a place to get started for you Mac geeks.

Pre reqs first...

1) Turn on speakable items in accessibilities (Sys Prefs / Accessibilities)
2) Tab Listening Key, turn on Continuous Listening

OK. Easy part. Now.

You have to build the commands in Apple Script. Really really easy.

Open Finder / Applications / Utilities / Apple Scripts

So far, I have 2 cmds working....Full Thrusters and All Beams. I will explain...

The letter R means full thrusters...so cut and paste into Apple Scripts....

(don't copy the equal marks...just the cmds in between)
============================================


tell application "Star Trek Online"

tell application "System Events" to keystroke "r"

end tell

say "Full Impulse Engines"


============================================

Simple basis for everything.....
a) Tell gives the computer the command to run.
b) System Events says press the letter R
c) End the command
d) Acknowledge by replying back...Full Impulse Engines

Now here is where things change because of my personal setup.

All my torpedoes fire on F1 keys
All my beams fire on F2 keys

So, below is the vocal command for firing beams:

(again, don't copy the equal marks)

============================================

tell application "Star Trek Online"

tell application "System Events" to keystroke "fn f2"

repeat 5 times
delay 0.5
end repeat

end tell

say "Firing All Beams"

============================================

So again, same process to tell the application what to do.

Slight difference is fn F2. this presses the fn key to activate Function Keys 2.

1) Repeat to allow continuous firing
2) Minor delay between pressing the key
3) End the command


As mentioned before, this is a work in progress. Your mileage may differ due to
personal setup, but at least, we Mac folks have a start for voice activation of
different voice commands. I still steer the ship with keys as well as target enemies
manually.

Please. If you have a better way or a slicker process to accomplish, post and give a
little explanation for us newbies. And yes, I included myself. LOL

Have fun y'all.
