If you have an AV capable Macintosh or a Power Macintosh with PlainTalk installed, you can use voice commands to control club and shot selection in Links Pro. To activate this feature do the following:
1) Drag the "Links Speech Macros" document from this folder into the Extensions folder in your System Folder.
2) Restart your Mac.
3) Make sure Speech Recognition is turned on in the "Speech Setup" control panel in the Control Panels folder.
Notes:
- Speech works best if you turn off "Background Sounds" in the Links Pro Sound Options dialog in.
- The PlainTalk "floating window" can get drawn over if you leave it on top of the main Links Pro screen, so try moving it to the bottom edge of the screen.
- Links Pro recognizes the following voice commands at the main golf screen.

The commands may be longer than necessary in some cases because the Speech Recognition works better with longer phrases. If you are familiar with the Speech Macro Editor you can change the phrases by editing the "Links Speech Macros" file.
