Is it possible to switch between dictation languages with a keyboard shortcut

On my MacBook Pro I can use the dictation feature to dictate in either English or Japanese, and it seems to work pretty well.
However, if I want to switch between dictation languages, I have to go into settings and choose the installed language.
With Siri on my iPhone 5, if I switch the keyboard between languages then Siri dictation also switches to that language. That doesn't seem to happen in OS X.
Is there some keyboard shortcut I can use to switch between dictation languages to save time? When dictating in Japanese it is very common to also enter an English word here and there.
Thanks,
doug

Sometimes their support documents are a bit outdated. I have just recently noticed that feature. But surely they must know about it if they created it.
Anyway, the problem isn't with the shortcut. That works fine. The problem was that mysteriously "enhanced dictation" - which lets you dictate even when not connected to the Internet via downloaded dictionaries, and also lets you type continuously and show the intermediate results (like Google Voice) - was not working. Yet if I turned off enhanced dictation - which DOES require an Internet connection, like with Siri dictation, was working.
I can imagine scenarios where the non-enhanced dictation may temporarily not work because of network or Apple server problems. What I couldn't understand was why the network-based dictation was  working, while the local dictation wasn't.
But I can't replicate it now anyway. Currently both are working.

  • Switch between input languages

    Hi all,
    Im trying to switch between input languages on Windows TS/Win 7 by pressing Left ALT+Shift but unfortunately it doesnt work for me.
    by using a key sequence (ALT+Shift) on Windows side I do see the changes on the languages bar, but cant type a single letter.
    we use ssg 4.5 the latest version running on solaris 10u6,
    all languages are installed on Windows machines, i can use them by a regular RDP but not via SGD.
    any ideas?

    Does anyone have an idea how to disable keymaps?

  • Keyboard switch between different languages

    Does anyone know if the BB10 keyboard will feature an easy switch between different languages that will preserve the anticipation of words used frequently/etc?

    That's great - thanks a lot. Is that a basic feature? Is there a list of languages (if one is looking for one with less circulation)?
    yes, it is a basic feature. I frequently switch from French to English and no problem, it is almost magical.
    Languages I have on my Z10 (sorry if I make typos, I have not found a page with the list correctly written)
    Arabic (I don't know which, but it is from right to left)

    as you can see:
    Japanese is lacking, because BlackBerry has decided to not sell the Z10 in Japan (they currently have a 0.3 marketshare, the market is mainly dominated by local brand like Sony or Anycall)
    This time, RIM did things right and Arabic & Chinese are available from day 1

  • Switch between windows in quicktime using keyboard?

    hey all,
    i know i used to be able to do this in some previous version of quicktime, but i cannot figure out how to do it now:
    how can i switch between different windows in quicktime with the keyboard?? if i have 3 different videos open, is there no way to switch between them with a keyboard shortcut?
    thanks!

    Why can´t I take a step back with the keyboard shortcut, cmd + ö, it was possible before, now you have to go to the bar at the top and "go back one step." I have Mac-systems, I also have mouse elbow, and do not want to use the mouse too often.

    This article lists some other options for "Back" navigation. Do any of them work for you?

  • Nokia Dictionary - switching between 2 languages

    Hi,
    I often use Nokia Dictionary and I think it's a nice, simple tool. But there is one, very annoying problem with it.
    When I try to switch between languages (let's say I use Danish-Polish dictionary) and I want to reverse languages - Polish to Danish - each time I need to do it by choosing source and target language in menu. It tooks a lot of time and it's inconvenient.
    I would like to do it faster. Is there any chance to add new position in menu or aditional button called "Reverse languages" or something similiar? 
    I hope you understand my suggestion. I use Nokia N8 (Symb. Anna)

  • Mid-2012 RMBPro 10.9.4: Is it possible to switch between graphic cards?  Activity monitor shows the high perf card always active even through no running apps need it.

    How does one switch between graphics cards on a RMB Pro that has both a regular and high performance card installed?

    There's no control built into OS X to manually switch between them (that I know of). But in your Energy Saver preferences, there is setting called Automatic Graphics Switching that will either keep the discrete GPU on all the time, or automatically switch it off when not in use. Do you already have this preference turned on?
    It might keep the high performance graphics card on if it's plugged into AC power, since there is no battery life penalty in that case.

  • MDIChildren flickering problem while switching between child form with dockstyle.fill and borderstyle.none

    I have an mdi applicaton in Visual studio 2010 (.Net framework 4.0). I'm having a flickering problem when user switch between an MDI Child form. I'm declaring the child form then setting the borderstyle.none at design time and dock property to fill
    through programming and make them a MDIChildren before I show them so that it takes up the entire space of the MDI Parent window without being maximized (client request). 
    i don't want to display control box(minimize, maximize,close) of child form in mdi parent form. (client request)
    The problem is that when the child form is being displayed it is briefly shown in it's default size with icon and control box before being resized to fill the available area on the MDI Parent form. When a Child Form loads, you can see it in it's original
    size (the size from Design-time) then all this flickering while maximizing .
    In other words, child form show up in the client area of the MDIForm, not maximized, with a caption, very shortly, before they are finally filling the client area. there is a short flicker when a new form is created and displayed. This process is most noticeable
    with a not-so-powerful PC or there are lots of control inside child form.
    below is my code to show child form 
       MyChild1 c1 = new MyChild1();
                                c1.MdiParent = MdiMainParent;
                                c1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
       c1.Show(); 
    how can i solved the problem of flickering issue?
    I tried many options which i have described below
    1.double buffering.
    2.set style property to child form
          this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);
          this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true);
          this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true); 
    3. override below method in each child form
    protected override CreateParams CreateParams
                get
                    CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
                    cp.ExStyle |= 0x02000000;
                    return cp;
    4. override below method in each child form
      const int WM_NCPAINT = 0x85;
            const int WM_SIZE = 0x05;
            protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
                if (m.Msg == WM_NCPAINT)
                    if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
                        return;
                if (m.Msg == WM_SIZE)
                    if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
                        return;
                base.WndProc(ref m);
    but I didn't see any effects.  please someone help me to resolve flickering issue. thanks in advance.

    Hi hardikvaishnav,
    This is a known issue which has been reported to Microsoft Connect. Unfortunately, this issue will not fix due to stability issues around MDI. For more details, see 
    https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/97787/border-of-mdi-child-form-flashes-up-despite-formborderstyle-none.
    You might use a user control or panel instead.

  • My i phone is switching between white screen with logo to blue won't turn on please help !!!

    I updated my i Phone 5 a week or so ago, my screen was sticking on certain apps or just closing them unexpected. So i decided to give it a breather when i went to the gym, now it switches between the white screen & blue screen but wont turn back on. I have recently moved to spain from the uk & have no access to an Apple store close to me. I am devastated as i have paid for it to be factory unlocked & now i have no phone, I restored the phone already but no change. Can somebody please help me.
    Seb

    well if you've droped it before you've probably damaged the hardware. The only thing we can tell you is that you need to take it to apple and let them look at it.

  • Can you create a keyboard short cut for the dictation mic with bluetooth keyboards? The multi-button requirement to open the onscreen is annoying and unintuitive.

    (Using an "iPad 3", i dont care what apple calls it) There should be a built in one button access to this from EVERY keyboard since this function is used to replace typing. An inherent Apple shortcut like copy and paste. I set my iPad up on a framed photo holder and use it like a moniter screen when I write, my Bluetooth keyboard is separated from it and makes writing comments and long articles less efficient because it requires extra steps with every dictation, while taking up screen space to have the on screen open. There needs to be a way to access dictation without the onscreen keyboard open, via any standard keyboard.

    I was "reasonably frustrated" for having more than one answer offered for a question that not only didn't I ask, but made it clear I was aware of the information it appears they cut and paste at me.
    I see it as: the title of my post should inform any person with an elementery handeling of the english language that I not only have this type of keyboard but am well aware it has a button for the ONSCREEN keyboard. That makes it look like they were just "approval hunting" #1. 2nd Grampa Joe's generic sounding response as a zero level newbie already who found "this" post where the first line is about keyboard shortcuts......WHEN there are better posts with more views and commets for exactly that. Approval hunting #2. I'd say based on both, my suspicion is darn reasonably justified sir.
    "couldn't find the answer he wanted" no sir, I didn't get an answer at all, they answered OTHER questions. Questions I didn't ask, even after having explained myself more clearly. If anyone is a Jerk, it's you for jumping to eronous conclusions and attacking me for them on personal level. I made a justified claim based on the BLACK AND WHITE TEXT, that it still appears to me is well supported, you just flung mud.........who's the jerk?
    Finally, your first post answered my question directly. Thank you. However under General/Keyboard, at the bottom you can make keyboard shortcuts. They may not function how I'm asking, but you can make them.
