The Application Switching Manager is a public interface that several third party utilities support. It is currently support by ClaireWare Software¹s Program Switcher and Binary Software¹s PowerSwitch. For more information on these programs, please visit one of the following web pages: http://www.kamprath.net/claireware/program_switcher.html http://www.binarysoft.com/psmac/psmac.html What is required? Application Commander requires the following: Apple¹s Speech Recognition System v1.5 or later (comes with MacOS 8.5) PowerPC processor Program Switcher v4.4.0 or PowerSwitch v1.0.0 or later MacOS 8.0 or later How do I use it? All you need to do is enable the Speech Recognition Manager in the Speech control panel and then launch Application Commander. Application Commander is a ³background only application,² so there are no options or other user interface to mess with. To cause Application Commander to do something, all you have to do is say a command that Application Commander recognizes and it will act on that command. Application Commander recognizes the following commands: Switch to the Finder Switch to the Last Application Switch to Hide Other Applications Hide the Current Application Hide All Applications but the Finder Show All Applications Quit All Applications Quit All Other Applications Quit Application Commander Launch Most commands should be self explanatory. The ³Switch to ² means that you say ³Switch to² and the name of a running application and Application Commander will take you to it.
