Hi Alex,
Thanks. I guess I forgot to state in the first post that I am running ML, so I probably will have the limit of 30 seconds. I can work around that because these are recipes. However, I will be reading the braille with the right finger and then operating the FN key with the left. Since I'm left handed, this will be interesting. Thanks again and I will look up your reference at Applevis.

If it is Dragon-like control you are after, look into Speakable Items in the Accessibility area of System Preferences. I have a podcast on www.applevis.com talking about that and dictation if you want to look it up. As to the limit, this only happens if you are on Mountain Lion. In Mavericks, you can go to Dictation preferences and enable "enhanced dictation", which lets you dictate as much as you want because it is local, not internet-based. -- Have a great day, Alex [email protected] On Feb 10, 2014, at 10:49 AM, isaac <[email protected]> wrote: Yes for 30 seconds or less you can dictate but as far as will it turn off or not I am not sure.

I have the FN key set to activate it and pause dictation. My question is: Is there a list of commands that I can use for dictation? I do have Dragon installed on my PC, so I have a knowledge base of commands. I know I can use the basic punctuation marks, but can I add a new line or paragraph? I believe someone stated that the native Dictation app on the Macs could only record approx. 30 seconds. If so, does the dictation function just not record the rest or does it simply turn off automatically after 30 seconds? I look forward to hearing the list's thoughts on how best to use the dictation feature. Oh by the way, I'll be dictating my braille recipes into TextEdit. Thanks in advance.
