Dictation mode doesn't work without Dragon

[wenkokke]

Using "dragon mode" without Dragon installed doesn't work; is there any way to get this to easily work with either the built-in text to speech system or the OS X dictation system, since Dragon for Mac is now deprecated?

I'm currently setting the shortcut for Dictation to something pretty uncommon, e.g. ⌥§...

...and then use the following keymap...

sleepy.keymap({
    'talon sleep' : lambda m: speech.set_enabled(False),
    'talon wake'  : lambda m: speech.set_enabled(True),
    'dragon mode' : [lambda m: speech.set_enabled(False), lambda m: press("alt-§")],
    'talon mode'  : [lambda m: speech.set_enabled(True), lambda m: press("alt-§")],
})

...which works, as long as Talon and Dictation don't get out of sync.

This isn't a bug on examples, it's a bug on talon itself. I haven't investigated why a standalone rule fails to work on the builtin engine yet.
