Morning everyone, Sorry was away from the computer this weekend. I have implemented David's suggestion and made the speechlock part of the code dependent on OSX version. It is only executed if OSX version is less than 10.9. I've checked this in to the e-mac-speak svn repo. As I've only just made the changes it hasn't had much testing. Having said that it certainly appears to help things here. I haven't noticed the voicelock issues that Haden mentions as yet. They may still be there though. If people could report success or otherwise on both 10.9 and earlier that would be appreciated.
