How To Enable Voice Control In Catalina

[dealtek]

Hi all,

I would like to be able to use keyboard maestro to be able to enable voice control in Catalina.

The checkbox is located in preferences>accessibility>voice control.

I am curious what the best keyboard maestro macro would be to check this box and enable voice control?

I tried:

• action: activate app - system preferences

• action: select accessibility in the menu system preferences

• action: then I tried another action to select a sub menu - Voice Control - but it didn't seem to work correctly.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks - Dave

I had the system check to see if Dictation is running – doesn't work, though if you also want to be dictating if application "DictationIM" is not running then tell application "System Preferences" reveal anchor "Dictation" of pane id "com.apple.preference.universalaccess" -- activate end tell delay 0.5 tell application "System Events" tell process "System Preferences" click checkbox "Enable Voice Control" of group 1 of wi…

Ps. the script also works under macOS Big Sur.
