Are dictation commands not working?

Are commands within dictation not working fully? Is there a list of valid commands you can use to work in dictation? I can't figure out how to delete text and it will not let me start a new paragraph or a new line in a word document.
I am running ML, dictation is enabled and running.

You can create a new line by saying new line. Speak punctuation and it will by entered. You can also say all caps and all caps off to turn caps on/off. You can't delete text as you are dictating it.
There are a few others too, like if you say smiley face it will type :-). I don't know if there is an official list, but if you search online you may be able to find one.

Caps Dictation Commands Not Working Anymore

I used to be able to say "all caps" and have dictation capitalize the following word or say "caps on" and have dictation capitalize the first letter of each word. Recently it started just typing out all caps or caps on. This leads me to believe it's recognizing my words correctly but not recognizing them as commands. Anyone else having this issue or have thoughts on a solution?
Thanks,
Dave

Well, yes and no...
Yes, they are separate in that dictation lives on some devices w/o Siri. But not the other way around. I.e. On my iPhone 4S, there's a single switch in Settings>Siri which is on or off.
If you turn Siri off, the dictation mic icon in the keyboard is gone. Dictation is turned off as a system-wide option. You can still use a speech-to-text app such as Dragon to dictate.
I believe that it was revealed that Nuance was involved in the speech recognition engine that runs both Siri and the iOS dictation.
But I'm with you: I used the free Dragon dictation app for almost two years on my iPhone 4. And while like you, I like it, it's no where near as convenient as having dictation in any place the keyboard appears.
I spent a lot of time with the highest level of Apple support last time, when turning Siri off & on fixed the problem with the caps (and spaces) commands in dictation. Not this time. And I did lose some of the training.

Why is my BDC_CURSOR command not working to position the cursor?

Why is my BDC_CURSOR command not working to position the cursor? Here are the details regarding my issue.
I am writing a BDC to mass delete routing material assignments using transaction CA02. I am OK to navigate through the initial screen to go to the Header screen and from here I am OK to navigate to the Material Assignments screen. But once here, I cannot get the BDC_CURSOR command to take me into the list. Here are the commands I am using. Please let me know what I may try differently.
CA02 Material Assignment - Set position <-- this resets list of materials to correct position
PERFORM bdc_dynpro      USING 'SAPLCZDI'   '1010'.
PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'BDC_CURSOR' 'RC27X-ENTRY_ACT'.
PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'BDC_OKCODE'   '=ENT1'.
PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'RC27X-ENTRY_ACT' c_position.
CA02 Material Assignment - Delete
PERFORM bdc_dynpro      USING 'SAPLCZDI'   '1010'.
PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'BDC_CURSOR' 'MAPL-MATNR(01)'.    <-- this is not working to set the cursor into the list
PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'BDC_OKCODE' '=LOE'.             " trash can
PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'RC27X-ENTRY_ACT' c_position.

PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'RC27X-ENTRY_ACT' c_position.

Thank you for your reply.
I had used SM35 to record. However, I was not aware of the "create program" feature. I had commented out a section from my previous post which I have now added back (latest code below). But it still did not resolve the issue.
When I execute with dismode = 'N', I get back error message "No batch input data for screen SAPLCZDI 1010".
When I execute with dismode = 'E' (only show dynpros when error), it stops at the material selection screen without placing my cursor in the list. I can then MANUALLY click to set the cursor position in the list, MANUALLY click the trashcan, it then uses my BDC command to respond to the popup asking "Do you want to delete", still leaving me at the material selection screen. I can then MANUALLY click the green check (or enter), then it continues with the BDC to go back to the previous screen, and saves. But it still will not place my cursor in the material selection list (SAPLCZDI screen 1010).
Here is code used. It is the second section of code labeled "CA02 Material Assignment - Delete" that is not working.
CA02 Material Assignment - Set position
this code functions to position the desired material to first in screen list
PERFORM bdc_dynpro      USING 'SAPLCZDI' '1010'.

                                '=ENT1'.
PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'RC27X-ENTRY_ACT'

Crontab reboot command not working

Crontab reboot command not working
Greetings
I am new at this so excuse any ignorant mistakes I might be making.
I have a server (MM X.4.9) that I would like to restart every day in order to make sure no programmes are hanging etc. If a program is hanging is should force quit it. Using terminal I have entered the following command:
sudo nano /etc/crontab
Entered password
Than I entered using tab between each sequence:
15 13 1 1 * root reboot
This was a test run and it did not reboot.
Entering
cat /etc/crontab
I got:
# The periodic and atrun jobs have moved to launchd jobs
# See /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
# minute hour mday month wday who command
15 13 1 1 * root reboot
What have I done wrong?
Thanks

Hehe, there you are experimenting with a "reboot" cron command and you are surprised it quit so fast. You are not going to find a "graceful" solution to shutdown dialogs.
MSWord is a Java app, so it is especially important for the command to work that it doesn't get hung up on outer layers of the system. Especially stupid apps that use Java which is not well integrated. I believe Word has a 5 minute autosave, so you should be able to recover most of your document.
This reboot command should be running around 2AM, when the average webserver has minimum traffic. If you feel the need to reboot during busier times of the day, I'd suggest you look at what's causing your applications to crash.

Illustrator Short Commands Not Working

Hi Team,
My illustrator CS6 short commands have stopped working.
Any time I try to use any CMD + Key, illustrator will not react.
This has been on going for a few months, I have tried resetting preferences but nothing has changed.
If someone could please help.
Thanks,
Brandon

Hi Jacob,
I have tried resetting preferences and few other options.
Anytime I press the CMD key the option at the bottom just changes from selection to direct selection, if that helps.
Should I uninstall and reinstall illustrator?
I no longer have my access key.
Thanks,
Brandon

THS,
You may try the following (you have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press CtrlAltShift/CmdOptionShift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder Other options (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Dictation is not working on my mac with mountain lion

dictation is not working when i turn on the dictation and then press fn key twice in any text area the 3 lights are just blinking and it is closed...
please help

Quick Questions:
Is your internal microphone working?
Are you hitting the "fn" key once after finishing dictation?
When you are finished dictating and the dictation feature closes down do you hear a single beep or two?
Also, go to System Preferences> Dictation and check if the microphone icon is illuminating in a variable fashion as you speak.
Hope this helps!

Dictation is not working in the reminders app on iPhone 4s IOS6. The microphone is grayed out. How do I re-enable the microphone?

Dictation is not working in the reminders app on iPhone 4s IOS6. The microphone is grayed out. How do I re-enable the microphone?

One day I tried to dictate a note and discovered the microphone was grayed out. As someone suggested I did a hard reset of my iPhone 4S and that didn't solve the problem.
Then I had an epiphany. I use the Notes app a lot and have a lot of Notes stored in the app. I tried deleting some of my many notes and "viola!" the microphone is black again. My guess is the app has some kind of storage limit and when you hit that limit, the microphone is automatically turned off. Anyway, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
Hope this helps.

Bash commands not working after upgrade to Lion

After upgrade, many BASH commands not working. For example, such a fundamental thing as "ls".
iMac20:bin a$ ls
Launch of "ls" failed: the PowerPC architecture is no longer supported.

Linc,
iMac20:~ a$ which ls
/sw/bin/ls
Also, I managed to look (using tcsh's ls-F command) into the contents of /usr/. Here's what I see there:

Why are my alerts not working?

Why are my alerts not working? Sometimes the alerts work and other times I have to manually retrieve messages.

You can set alerts at verizonwireless.com, and you can set alerts on most smartphones as well, and those can be highly customized as to when you are alerted.
Go to settings, data usage, and there are/should be options to view, limit, and alert you as to your mobile data usage on the phone itself.

Dictation punctuation commands not working.

I've been using dictation on my iPad 3 but I discovered that almost all punctuation commands do not work except for ", " ". " "? ". I know Siri has a long list of punctuation commands. Does anybody know what commands are supported by dictation?

I tried what you tried and it worked perfectly for me too. I've been trying to use the cap, all caps, all caps on, commands.
Stated like below, "caps" works perfectly.
I say: save this list cap save this list caps on save this list all caps on save this list
I get: save this list Save this list Save This List SAVE THIS LIST
It does not work if "cap" is used at the beginning of dictation in the middle of a sentence.
I say: cap save this list
I get: save this list
I say: caps on save this list
I get: save This List
I say: all caps on save this list
I get: sAVE THIS LIST
It's annoying. Any suggestions?

Microphone works but dictation does not work

My dictation software was working fine then suddnely not so much. I have ensured it has been enabled, I have selected automatic detection as the default, I have choesen the internal microphone as the default, I have chosen the external microphone as the default, I have even deleted the
file://localhost/Users/williams/Library/Preferences/com.apple.assistant.plist file and rebooted, tested my internal and external microphones through the system preferences dictation setup (both register as working while in dictation preferences as indicated by the microphone symbol responding to sound), I've ensured the language was set to english (US) and closed all other programs.
Once the dication command is selected the microphone pops up and viola no response as if the microphone is no longer working!!! I am sooo much more productive with the speech to text function and really need it back. Anyone with any new/additional suggestions will be most welcome and I appreciate the help!
