I've looked into most of the topics in the forum but it hasn't been much help. I was wondering if we can use the built in voice recognition tool in mac to trigger certain video and sound files in max 7. I just need it for a couple of commands. Sorry if I sound really n00b. any help is appreciated.

what I want to do is really simple. for instance, if i say the word dance, i want the word to be printed on text edit in max and this would send out a bang that would trigger a video to load. it's going to be a few simple commands such as play, stop, dance. I've installed shell and integrated it into the max patch but i am really new to this whole scene to do you have any idea how to make it work?

You must first write the script in Applescript (you'll need to do some research for that i don't know applescript) then you'll use the osascript command, which is a shell command to run an Applescript. See here for example :

but this is definitely possible ! a little difficult if you don't have background in scripting. Will require some research work, some time, but doable;
