HT5449 Enhanced Dictation Error: Capitalizes word after a comma.

Enhanced dictation is not as accurate as dictation.  The MOST annoying issue for me, is that it often capitalizes the word after a comma!  I do not know how this is possible since this is a simple grammatical rule.  Sentences do not end with commas.
There are other problems, but if this could be fixed would make the system far more useable.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Dictation capitalizes every word after a comma, no matter what.

    Dictation capitalizes every word after a comma, no matter what.  For instance:  "I am a man, But not an old man."  Any setting to change that could stop this?

    The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time.

    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.

  • Error downloading the english language for enhanced dictation.

    I'm trying to setup for enhanced dictation and I keep getting the following error message:
    "an unexpected error happened while downloading the dictation language "english" (United States) try again."
    Can anyone please tell me what's the problem?

    Yes, it is an almost 1 GB file download and takes a while.
    And, since it is a file from Apple and not available as a "stand-alone third party" download, I doubt very seriously that it could be shared from a Google drive; most likely that would not be legal as any software downloads from Apple can only be obtained legally directly from Apple.
    I read that turning off Spotlight helps (I did not do that).
    I just found this older discussion searching here for you:
    can't download the Enhanced Dictation Engine
    Have you tried all of those steps?
    (Note: I did not have to restart the computer for it to work on mine)

  • HT6065 enhanced dictation stopped working after this update

    Hey all,
    After 10.9.1 enhanced dictation no longer works, fn fn pops up the mic, but as soon as it makes the connection it drops off. Regular dictation is fine. Anyone else having this issue/solved it?
    Thanks!

    I have not tried that lol, derp-da-derp.
    didnt even think of that, the path if anyone is looking to try this. ~ System > Library > Speech > Recognizers folder and remove the folder called "SpeechRecognitionCoreLanguages."
    Downloading at the moment, will see if it works!
    Thanks Eric!!

  • Enhanced dictation no spaces after punctuation

    I just downloaded enhanced dictation (Jan 23 2015). I have Yosemite, macbook air. It does mostly ok, but there are no spaces after periods or commas! Pretty basic... I'm really frustrated. Anyone else have this problem?

    If you haven't already done so, please log out or restart the computer and see whether there's an improvement.

  • 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

  • I can't get enhanced dictation to work

    It only works when I let the Apple servers interpret. When I check the "enchanced dication" box, it doesn't work. I double tap on the Fn key, speak, and it comes out blank. No words. Is there a reason why I can't get enhanced dictation to work?

    I guess I should have mentioned it worked before the most recent update. 10.9.0 and 10.9.1 it worked, but since the 10.9.2 update it stopped working.

    "Adobe Illustrator cs5 quit unexpectedly" error message.
    After I upgrated my imac from Snow Leopard to Mavericks I can't open Illustrator CS5. (No problem with PS)
    Every opening attemp crashes. May this be possible because of third party plug-ins. (eg. Esko Artwork)
    Help pls.
    Thank you.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
    SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
    DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    ☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    ☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Mail / Merge in WORD  with DOI. Error in WORD 'field separator'

    I have a program that creates   WORD DOcuments  for merging with data.
    I use  WORD documents created with BDS.

    I don't understand what happens.

    I found solution.

  • 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.

  • Enhanced dictation

    What is enhanced dictation used for?

    Hello Sybarian,
    Thank you for the question.  If you select Enhanced Dictation, your Mac converts words to text without sending the information to Apple:
    Use Enhanced Dictation
    If you use Enhanced Dictation, also known as “Mac-based Dictation,” your Mac converts your words to text without sending any information to Apple. If you select this option, you’re prompted to download the language data your Mac needs for voice recognition. Your text appears as you speak, and you can use the keyboard, mouse, or trackpad to edit as you go.
    If you don’t use Enhanced Dictation, your words are sent to Apple servers to be analyzed, helping your Mac understand what you’re saying. This method, also known as “server-based Dictation,” takes advantage of the latest language data.

  • Enhanced dictation 10.9.4 Not working

    Enhanced dictation 10.9.4 stopped working after two days. Just installed this OS update. Regular works, but not offline. Tried restarting, turning on/off--nothing works.
    Ideas, or is it just a buggy, useless program?

    What model is your Mac? It needs to be from 2011 or later. Go to About This Mac then select 'more info' if unsure. If your hardware is too old you can use a 3rd party program like Airparrot.
    Bear in mind, DVD's are blocked from mirroring due to copyright so it's best to connect a DVD player if that's your only intended purpose.

  • When starting Firefox 4 I get an error message. After clicking OK it nevertheless runs. How can I get rid off the error message.

    When starting up Firefox 4 I get an error message. After clicking OK it nevertheless runs. How can I get rid off the error message?
    The error message is: what happened: Type Error: Components. classes ['@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1'] is undefined.
    It appears all the time already from the beginning after installing Firefox 4.

    Thanks a lot. The Ask toolbar created this problem. Another problem is: When searching on the web via Google, normally it is possible to type a few letters and then look what appears and then click on the wanted word(s). A number of word(s) ineed do appear, however it is not possible to select any of them as ws possible as mentioned in olders versions.
