Thanks Alex for confirming it's not just me. Wish it was, as it blows me away how Apple could release such a poor version of dictation for the Mac that knocks out VO. It really does make me question Apple and accessibility. I know we are pretty close to the bottom of the food chain, but seriously how much testing goes in to something like this, as having dictation causing VO to crash is a pretty serious bug. Fortunately for me I don't really like dictating, so will just move on without it. On Dec 30, 2013, at 4:34 PM, Alex Hall <mehg...@gmail.com> wrote:
