Dictation with Shortcut off not Working

Hey Guys,
I am running Yosemite (10.10.1) and I am trying to use dictation without a shortcut key. I have not been able to get it working. Tried restarting and dictation with shortcut set to fn key works fine.
I am trying to have my mac constantly listen for commands. Has anyone been able to use dictation commands with the shortcut setting set to "off"?
Is there a special command I need to use to get OSX to listen for commands? Is it a bug in Yosemite?
Thanks,

thanks for the kudos.  feels good to help. i actually joined the forum hoping to find an answer to this specific problem never thinking i'd be the one to hit on the solution.  no genius just a lot of luck and perserverance.
my knowledge of CS4 is rudimentary and my work is rather pedestrian, so its good to know there is a "community" where one can find help and support.  maybe it will help me take my work up a notch or two
happy thanksgiving everybody and again thanks

  • Gnome-shell keyboard shortcuts do not work with only conky running

    This is best described by a video showing the bug. You can see the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZWdExRxq-I.
    Description
    The gnome-shell keyboard shortcuts like Alt+F2,Alt+F1 and the media key shortcuts do not work if conky is the only program running. However if I open any other application like gedit or vlc or firefox or anything then the keyboard shortcuts work.
    This is not a bug due to any upgrade or anything...I just installed arch linux 4-5 days before...and then installed conky 2 days. However I just noticed that the bug was due to conky. If conky is not running it all works perfectly...How do I solve this problem?
    Hope I provided sufficient information....

    I'm having the same problem. I ended up putting
    gap_x 1595
    in my conkyrc (1080p display) to force it back to the right side. Took a little bit of trial and error, but at least it works as it is supposed to and is placed where I want it.

  • [LAVA Cross Post] CTRL+SHIFT+ Shortcuts sometimes not working in LabVIEW

    Cross-post from LAVA: http://lavag.org/topic/15619-ctrlshift-shortcuts-sometimes-not-working-in-labview/
    See the above post for more information - here's a synopsis:
    CTRL+SHIFT modifiers are not working while running LabVIEW in a Parallels 7 virtual machine. This problem affects both LV2011 and LV2012. I'm not certain that this is a LabVIEW bug - could be an issue with my virtual machine environment or it's configuration - except that CTRL+SHIFT modifiers work in other applications on the affected VMs. It's just LabVIEW that appears to ignore shortcuts with the CTRL+SHIFT modifiers.
    Any ideas?

  • Spotlight shortcut does not work (ctrl + space)

    Spotlight shortcut does not work. When I press ctrl + space, nothing happen. When I click on magnifier icon by mouse, everything work well.
    In Spotlight configuration and also in keyboard shortcut configuration this shortcut is present and marked as active.
    I've also tried to disable and enable back this shortcut but it still not work.

    Hello Zeleznypa,
    For me, the default shortcut for Spotlight is Command - Space (not Control Space).
    OS X Yosemite: Spotlight keyboard shortcuts
    Open Spotlight to start a search  Command (⌘)-Space bar
    Open a Finder window with the search field selected  Option-Command (⌘)-Space bar
    I changed the shortcut in System Preferences to Control Space and it still worked with that.
    Could you check your keyboard with the Keyboard Viewer?

    Take care,

  • When icloud drive  is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.

    When iCloud Drive  is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.
    ANyone found a solution to this?
    I Have tried it several times and when tured off iCloud Drive and tested the shortcuts on an email, all was working ok...turning icloud drive on again and again the keyboard shortcuts stoped working. Solutions?

    Hi Susana,
    I have a similar problem: when updating to iOS 8 my iPhone 5 the shortcuts disappeared and more over the keyboard often gets stuck. When repeatedly turning off iCloud drive the shortcuts are present again and the keyboard works as it should. A factory reset of my iPhone was not successful.
    The only "workaround" seems to turn off iCloud drive, however, this is of course no solution at all.
    Since reports on keyboard malfunctions are rather rare in this community, I think, you and I are using some special settings or apps which cause this problem.

  • "Clean Up By..." keyboard shortcut is not working

    For some reason, when I am in a Finder window or on my desktop, the "Clean Up By..." Kind, Name, Size etc shortcut is not working. I normally click use "Option + Command + 2" to clean up my desktop by kind. This no longer works. I have to go into the "View, Clean Up By..." menu to have this take place. The keyboard shortcut still appears to be mapped to this menu option (as can be seen in the attached screenshot). I have also went into system preferences and reset my keyboard shortcuts to default.

    You're most welcome. Thanks for posting back and letting me know. Glad to help.

  • Show/hide Menue with Alt does not work @ Ubuntu

    The shortcut does not work with Ubuntu, nothing happens when I press Alt

    The doubling is weird. I cannot produce that. Forgive the repetition, but stated a little differently, in normal mode start with the cursor on the desired center point, depress the left mouse button, drag out to any starting shape and position, then depress and hold down the ALT key. The shape should then reposition itself so that its center is the initial point you chose. Without letting up on either the mouse button or the ALT key, drag the mouse to get the shape and size you want. Now release the mouse button FIRST, and then the ALT key. If that doesn't hack it, you've got a more interesting problem and we'll do some more head scratching,

  • My "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys arnt either? any help would be amazing!

    my "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys aren't either? any help would be amazing!  I use these keys a million times a hour and since I have switched to cc I cant get them to work. track selection makes no difference or if there are markers on the timeline or not. 
    Anyone else feel me on this?
    any help?

    Well that still didn't make any kind of difference.  I would just do without it but I've becomes really use to it with Avid for so long.  I have to admit there are a lot of small moments like this that makes me miss Avid.  Any other suggestions? I have checked the keyboard shortcuts a few times and maybe I'm just missing something here...

  • Hand off not working on iPhone 5

    hand off not working between iPhone and iPad Air.
    Any suggestion. both using same iCloud ID's
    thanks

    Hi there SZkiyani,
    You may need to verify that Bluetooth is enabled on the devices as well. Take a look at the aritlce below for more information. 
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    Use Handoff with Apple apps such as Mail, Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Maps, Messages, Reminders, Calendar, Contacts. You can also use Handoff with some third-party apps. Start a document, email, or message on one device and pick up where you left off on another device.
    To use Handoff:
    On both devices, you'll need to turn on Bluetooth and sign in to the same iCloud account.
    Use one of the apps listed above on one of your devices.

  • Premiere Pro CC shortcut keys not working

    I have downloaded the trial version of premiere pro and I found that all the keyboard shortcuts do not work at all. Basic things like delete, copy,cut and undo don't work, as well as ever other shortcut. Does this have to do with the trial version, or is there something I can do to fix this.
    Thanks

    Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
    Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
    Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

    Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store.  Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays.  You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor.  If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected.  I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

  • Shortcuts does not work in Tiger

    I bought a MacBook Pro 2.4 two days ago. Now I am getting really angry after reinstalling and trobuleshooting for two days. Some shortcuts does not work, like "New folder", "Quit", "Empty Trash"...
    But some shortcuts work like, "Spotlight", "Hide other app.", "Send to trash".
    I have done everything to find out the problem, all troubleshooting.
    1. Create new Admin
    2. Empty caches
    3. Disk Permissions
    4. FSCK
    5. Safe mode
    6. Apple Hardware Test
    The Hardware Test gave me a error code: 4 SNS/1/40000000:TGOD
    The Apple support could not help me when I called them. I am really tired of this.

    I live 450 km from an Apple Store, so that is not the solution.
    The thing is that when you buy a new Apple computer, you dont't want to spend time troubleshooting the first thing you do before even installing your software.

  • FIND with MATCH OFFSET not working

    Hi,
    I have a statement:
    FIND '/' IN <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn MATCH OFFSET off2.
    this works in all the case except for when <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn = SSULTANA-VMC/.
    (i.e. when /bic/zbib_sysn = USERID-VMC/, here SSULTANA is the user ID)
    *In this case off2 = .
    Value of sy-subrc is 0 after this statement is executed
    Can some one please point out what I am doing wrong.
    Thank you,
    CD

    >FIND with MATCH OFFSET not working  
    Most unlikely.  More likely is that it isn't doing what you think it should be doing.  Or you're using it incorrectly!
    I can't really follow what your problem is.  I assume you mean that you are getting off2 with value 0, when /bic/zbib_sysn contains USERID-VMC/
    Can you be a little clearer in what the issue is?
    DATA: off2 TYPE i.
    FIND '/' IN 'this string /' MATCH OFFSET off2.
    WRITE: / sy-subrc, off2.
    This little program returns 0 and 12

    If you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost will low; in the US it's $49. If you do not have AppleCare+ on your iPhone, see the Service Pricing section here:
