Enhanced dictation does not work.  I've tried everything. Any help?

Hello everybody. After downloading enhanced dictation (spanish-spain), the microphone seems to be Ok but no word is written. Regular online dictation works well. I use a mac-mini i7 16Gb and a micro connected to an external audio card firewire. I've tried to delete and download again several times, to clean the cache, turn on-off with resets,.. but nothing seems to fix the problem. Dictation is important for me to work and I'd like to try with enhanced dictation because I've read that it improves the performance with respect to online dictation.
I've empoyed such a lot of time looking for a solution in the support community and other forums but nothing worked.
Could anybody help me.
Thanks so much in advance

Ok, I reply to myself.
The problem was caused by the microphone and the firewire connection. Enhanced Dictation is not ready to work with my audio hardware (micro Shure and Presonus audio card via Firewire). Although this audio hardware works fine with other software and even with online dictation, when I use it with Enhanced Dictation, the system seems to be working (the micro bars of the microphone in the screen move ok) but no words are written at all.
The solution was to connect it analogically, using an audio connection between my audio card and the line-in connection of the mac mini (stereo).
Hope Apple will solve this problem. I guess many people probably are having the same problem, mainly people with pro audio cards. I hope that this will help them

  • Enhanced Dictation does not work.

    I bought a cheap microphone, cheapest I could get.  I plugged it into the "Audio In" port of my Mac Mini.  The Mini is running OSX 10.9.4.   I went to the "Dictation & Speech" system preference and turned on Enhanced Dictation.   The Mini automatically downloaded whatever it downloaded.  I turned on the microphone, double-clicked the "Function" key twice, and got no response in text boxes in either Word or Safari.
    I went back to "Dictation & Speech" and changed the input from "Automatic" to "Line In."   When I double-clicked "Function," I got the icon of the old-fashioned microphone.  I talked, but neither Word nor Safari responded.
    I deleted ~Library/Caches/com.apple.SpeechRecognitionCore/Users/en_GB. 
    Two days later, I have tried again.  Today I opened "Dictation & Speech" and re-set everything to turn on.  The Mini downloaded whatever it downloads, and, again, I get no response from my dictating.
    In fact, now the "Start Dictation" tool in the Edit menu is dimmed.   Neither that tool nor the Function key can get Enhanced Dictation to work.
    Help!

    Test the microphone in the Sound preference pane.

  • Google does not work with Firefox, Tried everything, WTF

    I am disgusted. How is it possible that a popular browser like Firefox could fail at loading the most popular search engine and web service in the entire world.
    None of the posts on this answer why the hell this is happening and I want to know why I am being forced to use a new browser, transfer all my crap to a new browser just because you guys are too stupid to get google to work.
    Every single other web page loads.
    In every single other browser google works fine.
    Dont try to say it is anything but Firefox.
    Pathetic

    What do you get when you try to load http://www.google.com/ - blank page? 404 error?
    Can you describe what you've tried so far?
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    2. Remove your google.com cookies
    You can right-click this page and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the box at the top of the dialog, change mozilla.org to google.com and remove the cookies
    Then try reloading Google. Any progress?

  • Flash 8 Player Plug-In in Safari not working. I tried everything. Help!

    I searched the forum searching for the answer to this popular dilema. I found out about Pacifist amd using it to extract the Flashplayer.plugin. So I did that:
    I downloaded Pacifist and then I loaded my original apple OSX install discs. I unlocked the security keylock with my administrator's password so that I would have access to all the files.Then in the "find" window i typed "flash", "flash player", "flashplayer.plugin" and "flash plugin". Then I made sure the "ignore caps" button was checked. I pressed "find" button and with each attempt nothing came up!
    Can anyone help me here? What am I doing wrong here? And what is the name ov the exact file I am looking for? Thanks.
    20" G5 iMac Intel Duo Core   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   512mb RAM

    have you looked at this thread?
    I can't offer specific pacifist advice - since I don't use it - but there's another easy way there.

    iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

    my i phone 4s camera is not working... tried everything but of no use...may be the hardware issues.Then how to resolve it? warranty is void..suggest please!!!!!!!

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  If each of these has been tried and the issue still occurs, the only option left is to take to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
    Out of Warranty replacement is $199US.

    Okay, the Wi-Fi doesn't work.  Turn it on.
    Beyond that, we cannot offer any other assistance as you've failed to provide useful details of the problem.
    When responding, post in your native language as your English makes very little sense.

    You might try talking to the Apple store manager and see if you don't get more help...you might also contact Apple.com/support and see if they can give you a contact with the Apple Italy offices.
    Sounds like you have two levels of failure, the first shop that did the repair and broke a wire, and the second that has disabled something else and isn't helping.
    Apple officially refurbished equipment is usually good quality.  Surprising this has happened but you need to press on with complaints and try for resolution.

  • Flah player is not working and ive tried everything

    Ok, so i have installed the latest flash player but its still not working on sites likes e4.com/skins, the videos there will not play. This is weird because ive watched videos on the site before.
    Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the app adobe gives u to completely remove it but nothing is working. Ive checked that the flash player has installed properly by checking on the adobe website and everything is working fine. The add ons are all enabled and so on.
    The video on the website loads with a black screen where the video should be but nothing happens.
    This is getting very annoying, help would be nice.
    I am on windows vista and im using internet explorer 8. The videos also dont work on safari or firefox even though i have got flash player for those browsers. Ive tried scanning my computer to see if i have any virusis but bit defender says im clean.

    Subject: Flah player is not working and ive tried everything
    Hi, Using IE find "View and manage your internet explorer add-ons">all add-ons. Look for Shockwave Flash Object...
    ActiveX Control....Flash10d.ocx and ensure that it is enabled.
    In FF, look for SWF vs 10.0.42.34 and ensure that it is enabled.
    Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash.  Open the Flash folder and post back every entry that is listed there.
    In Programs and Features post back the Java entries with version #'s and while you are there just note that Flash Player 10 ActiveX is listed.
    If you have any questions or need info to obtain the Flash folder info, just post back.
    Thanks,
