  SousChef Icon   Controlling the Cook Display via Voice
 

The fullscreen Cook display includes a voice recognition mode which lets you control the display hands free. To use this mode you should first calibrate the Apple speech recognition system (see here). It is recommended that you change the speech preferences to listen continuously with a key word, such as "Computer", required before each command.

Note: While calibrating the system it is important to stand the actual distance away from the computer that you will be standing in your kitchen, rather than the Apple recommended distance. To have acceptable results from a distance, you will have to increase the sensitivity (gain) of your microphone in the calibration window.

To enable the speech recognition system click the microphone icon in the fullscreen toolbar.
