![]() ![]() When I try to dictate large chunks of text, it’s very inaccurate, sometimes it does not react at all, so I need to repeat the same phrase several times.What I need to activate is another window: “When your Mac is listening, it displays a microphone to the left or right of the page, aligned with the insertion point.” as stated in this article: But it never shows up.I can easily dictate in a Google online service on the same iMac, and pretty fast, so the microphone is operational. Sometimes the command I dictate just shows up above the dictation window, but is not executed. The computer can hear me, but recognition is quite inaccurate. Or do so few people actually use that feature…?ĭictation not working on iMac 27 (2017) Hi all,I cannot setup enhanced dictation on the new iMac 27.The menu Start Dictation under Edit is grayed out and Fn Fn does not work either (I hear a beep of invalid command).However, when I activate advanced commands in Accessibility section, Fn Fn starts working (but not the Start Dictation menu), and a small windows appears at the lower-right corner of the screen. But it seems like there would be a much larger outcry if dictation behave this way for everyone on El Capitan. A lot of people have the same complaints as me. I have not been able to ascertain of my problems stem from something on my system or if it's just the way it is. Second, as a Macintosh consultant, I stubbornly feel that there ought to be a way to solve this problem. First, I've always thought it was a bad idea to try to solve a problem with an operating system upgrade it often makes things worse instead. It's been suggested that I upgrade to Sierra. So the problem should not because of not enough RAM or fast enough storage. By the way, even though I'm using a 2012 MacBook Pro manufactured in 2015, I have 16 GB of RAM and an SSD. ![]() Too bad, because those look like some pretty useful commands. I discovered that turning off Enable advanced commands in Accessibility/Dictation made that a lot better. Enhanced dictation was being absolutely horrible, worse in some applications- Like Safari– than others. Starting in Yosemite, there was an annoying delay before the microphone was ready to listen- I learned to wait 3-5 seconds before speaking. It randomly capitalizes words, Although previous versions did the same thing so I'm used to it(see? See?). It bafflingly refuses to put a space in front of an opening parenthesis, and insists on putting a space after a slash. ![]() You're supposed to be able to dictate continuously but I find it just stops responding after about 10 or 15 seconds of speaking. local) dictation because the server- based version would give me multiple lines every time I dictated a new paragraph.Įnhanced still isn't satisfactory. I found I had to switch to enhanced (i.e. I prefer the OS dictation over Dragon Dictate because I can use the built-in microphone.Įver since upgrading to El Capitan, dictation *****. I have a lot of experience with dictation since it was introduced. But, I can't afford to be stuck permanently at OS X 10.11.I use dictation extensively because of a manual handicap. I've a huge investment in music software (I'm a composer) and have happily used Mac's since the 80's – my first Apple was a Mac 512 K, so such a decision would be very painful. As this machine is reaching its performance limits, I was sincerely hoping to upgrade to the new Mac Pro after it becomes available, but I have to solve this problem first or will eventually have to consider the complexities of a multi-Mac ethernet set up in my studio, or changing to another platform. I use an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) within i7 processor and 32 GB of RAM, 1 TB SSD primary drive and 12 TB of external drives. Has anyone had similar experiences with enhanced dictation or any suggestions? I've temporarily solve the problem by reverting to 10.12 I could survive using Enhanced Dictation, but after upgrading to 10.13 I found even that was no longer properly functioned, regardless of what microphone I used or whether or not Dragon had been loaded into the system. As a disabled user, dependent on speech to text to use and control my computer, I strongly prefer Dragon for Mac – its feature set is considerably richer than that of OS X's Enhanced Dictation. After "upgrading" to High Sierra I found that both Dragon for Mac (6) and Enhanced Dictation had ceased to function properly. ![]()
