Note: at the end of this article, there’s a summary all the steps for all the instructions. I knew that the macOS Dictation feature ran Automator workflows, so I opened Automator and pasted the script in the Run Script action.Īlas, when I ran the script, it came back with error message that said, Automator “is not allowed assistive access.” WTF! Automator, a native macOS program, is not allowed assistive access? Has Apple abandoned the program that much? (Unfortunately I don’t have AppleScript skills, but most of the time when I do a search for a script I find a solution.) So I did a Google search and discovered that someone had posted an AppleScript script that opened the Accessibility Keyboard.
My first thought when thinking about a workflow solution was to see if Keyboard Maestro or Automator had an action to open Accessibility Keyboard in System Preferences. Unfortunately they don’t have such an action. However, its dictation program is a good option.
At this point, Apple’s voice-to-text dictation program is still underdeveloped. When I upgrade to Mojave, Dragon Dictate will probably no longer work. I still use Dragon Dictate, and only a few features don’t work. Thanks for any help you can -Michaelīy the way, Micheal is correct about Dragon Dictate. I’m a C3 complete tetraplegic with no hand movement and use a combination of head mouse, Keystrokes/dwell click and Dragon but both Keystrokes and Dragon have now stopped mac development so I am being forced to use Apple Accessibility keyboard and dictation. I’ve made a feedback report to Apple for a quick toggle but it hasn’t been addressed. At the moment I have to go to system preferences/Accessibility/keyboard/toggle keyboard on. Here’s the problem:Ĭan you please help me find a way to open the Accessibility Keyboard quickly.
Though the workflow in response to this particular solution may not seem to apply to most people, it actually does, because it shows how the workflow in one application can be used in another to application to solve a particular problem. I pleased to share my response to another Ask Mac Automator question.
