Donna, Now I can definitively confirm this behavior. Dictation is more reliable when enhanced is off. When its on, yes, there is no indication it stopped working. From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source o

Hi Tim, Glad to hear that you're having success with dictation in the schools. If I know it's working for someone, I'll keep messing around with it. Cheers, Donna > On Jun 23, 2018, at 6:14 PM, Tim Kilburn wrote: > > Hi, > > Considering that dictation has been around in the MacOS for as long

Hi Jessica, I've only played with this a bit, so my experience is limited, but it has seemed to help if I continue to hold down the function key once I hear the dictation chime. Cheers, Donna > On Jun 23, 2018, at 5:52 PM, Jessica Moss wrote: > > I don’t think it’s even so much that, as the fa

Hi ET, I also have enhanced dictation enabled. What I've noticed is it starts off just fine. But then, after a few sentences, it just seems to stop working, and I haven't been able to make it start working again in that document, once it has stopped. It doesn't matter what the app or the doc

Hi, Considering that dictation has been around in the MacOS for as long as it has, I can't see that it's as glitchy as stated. A couple things to consider is the speed of your Internet connection, whether Enhanced Dictation is enabled or not, the amount of memory in your Mac, whether you have

I don’t think it’s even so much that, as the fact it’s just glitchy, period. Perfect example, on my end, I can press the fn key to activate it, and it will chime to activate, then immediately deactivate before I’ve had a chance to do anything with it. Then on those rare instances where I can
