Is there a way to put my mac to sleep using speech commands?

[jbaumba]

Hello every one, this is my first post, so hi.
I recently discovered the speech capabilities of my 20 inch iMac (OSX 10.5.6, 2.4 Ghz, 4GB RAM). i have had a lot of fun showing off to my Windows using friends but i noticed (or overlooked) it does not have a "go to sleep" command. My question is, if OSX has a sleep command what is it, or if it does not, can i make one? ( I have no experience with coding of any type and I am relatively new to Macs. I would appreciate so help, thanks!

I'm not going to lie to you, that seems very stupid. Most Windows users are already impressed with apps like Photo Booth and don't need extra things like this to get them jealous.

That said, I don't know if there is an app for speech commands. But you can set up some hot key(s) to initiate Sleep Mode. You can tell your friends that you have to press the hot key(s) to turn on the mic so you can say whatever command. Once you press the said keys, say something cheesy like "iMac Sleep" and 2 seconds later it's asleep.

If your Mac has an Apple remote, you can simply hold the play/pause button for a few seconds till you see the sleepy remote appear on the screen. The computer will then sleep. Wake it up the same way.

haha, great idea. I'm sure someone could figure it out. But yeah, it is going to most likely involve coding
