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

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

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
