Thanks, guess it's just my hilarious luck. I don't dictate a lot but would be nice if it worked instead of causing my mail to crash every time. Guess I will be calling Apple later today On Dec 30, 2013, at 1:44 AM, Kawal Gucukoglu kawa...@me.com wrote: Never had this problem. Sent from my

Brian I am using dictation to compose this e-mail and so far have not had any crashes. What default language are you using? I have never actually used e-mail and dictation previously but have also installed the off-line feature which will allow me to not have to send information to Apple to be

Hey Jurgan, Thanks for letting me know, glad to hear it's not just me as that is the same thing I was going through. Will have to try going back to the cloud dictating only to see if that works. Not that I would use dictating much, but don't want to have something installed that is just going

I've had the same thing happen, also with offline dictation enabled. For me, though, the problem is much worse as I lose all audio, or perhaps my Mac Mini just locks up, I'm not sure which. Either way, I avoid dictation nowadays, which is too bad as it really is nice when it works. I can go
