i have a mac, not for gaming, but i was wondering if there is a way to get voice activation to log on? like i say "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" and then it logs in and if i log off i want it to say "Mischief managed". How do i get that to happen?
( got the idea from MLIA

)

I have no idea what you're talking about.

The old Mac OS8 & OS9 had that capability but I have no idea if you can do it in OSX. It was pretty cool, until you got a cold and your computer didn't recognize your voice...

That's actually kind of really cool. Now that I think of it I actually remember hearing about something like that when I was back in school and we had the old tube imacs. I never found out exactly what it did or how it worked, all I remember is someone telling me that you could talk to the computer and it would complete the command. I haven't heard of anything like that on OS X either though.

I think OSX will still do voice commands, it's in the Accessibility Prefs Pane. I just don't think it will do the voice log on thing.

Yeah I was thinking the same. I know you can have read outs of certain text and issue some commands, but I can't say I've played around with it enough to figured out exactly how it works or if the voice login does in fact work.

I was able to find a cool "how to" on the voice command feature here, but nothing with the login feature unfortunately.

Hope that helps, Briere.
