Jonathan: Sort of. iListen has a feature called "One Shot Command." You say "One Shot Command" followed by the voice command you want iListen to execute. Once it executes the command, it returns to dictation mode. For example, suppose the phone rings and you want to tell iTunes to pause. (Let's also assume you are wearing headphones, since getting speech recognition to work while music is playing is, uh, let's say "challenging.") So you say "One Shot Command" followed by "Pause iTunes." Before you can do this, of course, you need an AppleScript called "Pause iTunes" in your global command library. The script itself will look like this: tell application "iTunes" pause end tell To turn iTunes back on, you would need a script called "Play iTunes," and it would look like this: tell application "iTunes" pause end tell (The names of the script can be whatever you want, btw.) You can enter the script using iListen's built-in Script Editor. If you need more help with this, you'll need to consult the iListen manual your contact MacSpeech support. BTW - that same technique can be used for ViaVoice and PlainTalk, although where the script is stored and the way it is executed would be different.
