Speech-to-Text Keeps Turning Itself Off!

I am trying to use speech to text to reduce arm strain when using the computer. Unfortunately, I have to switch from speaking to typing to fix each line, and speech to text keeps turning off while I'm fixing each line. It is a nuisance having to fix each line, and an added nuisance having to turn speech to text back on for each line.
Any suggestions? I already use enhanced dictation. I already picked up a ... @#$% malfing ... new mic. Dragon is outside my price range.

Incidentally, it would help if speech-to-text status showed up in the menu bar.

    My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

    The "fix" is to get the phone repaired.  There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
    Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

    If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.

  • My ht-ct80 sound bar keeps turning itself off every 15min.

    4 days ago I bought a htct80 sound bar and it keeps turning itself off every 15min. I serched the internet for a solution to no avail. So I need a answer from sony. Its a great sound bar while its on. Please give me a solution or i will have to take it back for a refund this weekend. If anyone else is having this ptoblem. And i know there are many please reply to this post. The more that reply the more likely we will get a rwsponse from sony.

    Hello everyone,
    The Sound Bar turning off every 15minutes is related to the Auto Standby function due to the Sound Bar not receiving an input signal.  Unfortunately, there are two conditions where the sound bar will recieve a low input signal that results in the Auto Standby triggering incorrectly.
    The first case is when the TV’s headphone jack serves as an audio output jack.  This is not a recommended method for Audio Input for the Soundbar.  If you are using this method, check the TV’s audio output settings. For details, refer to the TV’s operating instructions.  If you can not change audio output setting, set up TV volume which is strong enough to prevent it from entering Standby mode.
    The second case is when you are using a set-top box (Cable box) that has a volume setting.  You can either change the Audio Settings on the set-top box for Fixed Audio Out (if available) or increase the volume on the set top box(Cable box) to maximum setting and then adjust the volume on the Sound Bar itself to obtain the desired actual volume.
    Thank you,
    ---Chris

  • My nokia 5300 keeps turning itself off

    Help my nokia 5300 keeps turning itself off. It won't let me read my messages. Everytime I press the key to read my messages it just goes off. I only had it about 6 months!!!

    Hi,
    The phone software of your N5300 got corrupted or messed up. It's either you can update it (by yourself) or send it to the Nokia Care Centre for a reflash.
    Try updating your phone's firmware by clicking to this link below:

    Make sure you meet the system requirements before proceeding and backup some of your important contents.
    Good luck

    Have yu tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • My iPod touch keeps turning itself off

    My iPod touch keeps turning itself off. My iPod is fully updated and charged. When i try and turn it on the apple symbol comes on but a bit later turns itself off again (even when on a charger) what should i do?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipad2 keeps turning itself off and On

    my ipad2 keeps turning itself off and on. I can be playing a game or looking on the Internet and it will just turn off and restart all by itself. I pulled up and hooked it up to itunes on my computer but I'm not really sure what to do there either.  It's so annoying, especially when it's used daily, or all day, by me or my kids and it's constantly shutting off in the middle of things.

    DId the rebooting start recently after doing an iOS update or installing a game? 
    There could be several reasons for your iPad randomly shutting down & restarting. 
    Sometimes low memory (RAM) can cause the issue. 
    First, restart the iPad by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears then let go and wait until the iPad boots up normally.  This can help clear the cache & free up memory.
    If that doesn't work, try a general reset:
    Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings.  You will not lose any data but will have to log back into your Wifi networks.
    If the issue occurs while using a particular app, try uninstalling the app to see if it continues.
    As a last resort try restoring the iPad back to factory settings.  Be sure to backup your iPad first.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Unfortunately, it may also be that your battery is starting to fail but try the above to see if the problem persists.

  • Iphone 4 keeps turning itself off.  no matter if i have a full charge it turns off whether I am texting or using any app.

    Hello,
    My Iphone 4 turns itself off constantly.  Whether it is fully charged, 80 % or anywhere in between it shuts off and I need to hook it up to the charger to get it to open up again.  What can I do to fix this?

    Yes, I have.  I still have the same problem.  My phone won't stay on for any length of time.  I just updated to the latest iOS as well, it shut itself off in less than one minute.  I have an appointment this coming thursday at the Apple Store.

  • My LG Lucid keeps turning itself off

    I haven't had any problems with it, until recently. I've had it about three or four months, and now it just randomly turns itself off. It just started doing this yesterday, and today it's happened six or seven times. I do use my phone a lot, I listen to music when I go to class and I use it to keep track of assignments and club meetings and such. I also text and use the internet a lot. I charge it every night, and sometimes during the day because the battery drains so fast sometimes. I don't know if it's something that I'm doing that's wrong, or if it's my phone.

        long7489, I'm sorry your phone is powering off and on. I understand how frustrating it can be to have issues with your device. The community suggestions are correct, please try safe mode to find out if an app is causing the issue. If you continue to have issues, you can perform a hard reset back to the factory settings. Please keep us posted. If the the phone was physically damaged or damaged by water, you will also continue to have issues. ^KH

  • 6300 Keeps turning itself off

    I'm living in Phuket in Thailand and I have recently purchased a brand new 6300. I had it for a week and it kept going to sleep and then just turning itself off in the middle of a text or phone call. I have since turned off all sleep functions and battery savers and i still get the same problem.
    The shop took it back for repair and I picked it up 4 weeks later. After 3 days I had the same problem. The shop tells me i can't get a refund and that I have to keep sending it to get repaired everytime it's faulty until the year warranty runs out and then I stuffed. I'm not aware of the statutory rights in Thailand as when I ask for a refund they laugh at me and say its not possible. They offered to buy the phone back off me for a 3rd less than I bought it for but I don't think this is right. I believe its the shops responsibility to seek compensation from Nokia.
    Are there any downloads that rectify this problem?
    Many thanks

    I dont think you can find the version from the box. But when you get the phone back just press ( *#0000# ) on the main screen.
