Trouble with foul language when using dictation?

I've been using the dictation tool, which is remarkably useful. But it has a significant downside, which is that when I mistakenly hit the shortcut key (fn twice), and don't dictate, it begins inserting random words into my text. These range from "hey there" and other innocuous terms, all the way to four-letter words.
Both types of random insertions are bad, in part because I then have to go back through any transcribed text to extract the random insertions. But the four-letter words are obviously a major concern for my professional work.
I have tested to make certain that the random insertions aren't just misinterpretations of something I said. I left open a document I had been working on, placed the cursor in the middle of the text, and then hit the shortcut key. Pretty soon, in popped a word that would make my grandmother blush.
What's up with that?!?

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I have cleared all cookies and reset Safari, several times.
I just discovered that having that box checked does NOT prevent me from

  • Trouble with Yahoo Mail when using Tiger

    Since yesterday I am not able to sign into Yahoo Mail when I have the
    Keep me signed in check box checked,
    but it will let me sign in, if the check box is NOT checked.
    What it does is return to the login screen instead of going to Yahoo Mail.
    This action is same if I use different web browsers.
    So I conclude that it is a change at the Yahoo end.
    I am wondering if anyone else has this same problem.
    (I do plan to give feedback to the Yahoo web site)

  • Trouble with internet connection when using extreme to join wireless network

    I have an airport extreme that I want to use as an ethernet hub.  I have successfully connected it to my wireless modem, and I have a solid green light; however, when I connected the ethernet to my tv/computer/anything there is no internet connection.  I tried powering down everything in order and rebooting as appropriate modem then router then computer, but still not internet connection.  Any suggestions.

    The AirPort Extreme does not provide any routing functions when it is configured to "join a wireless network", so the Ethernet ports are not active in this type of setup. The only thing that really functions is the USB port, which could be used for a remote printer or hard drive.
    If you have another Apple "n" wireless router acting as your main base station, you can configure the AirPort Extreme to "extend a wireless network". The Ethernet ports are enabled in this type of setup....and the Extreme will provide more wireless coverage in the area where it is located.

  • Having trouble with if else when used with event.value... please help

    Please can someone shed any light on where i'm going wrong.
    I have a pdf form that uses a drop down menu for the SubBrand and a series of checkboxes for the Location.
    the following code is placed as a custom calculation script in an address text field and what im after is dynamically setting the address based on the subbrand and location.
    However whats happening is the address only changes based on the location and not the subbrand.
    Does anyone please have any advice on this.
    Thanks
    if 
    ((this.getField("SubBrand").value == "Passion" || "Passion for Men") && (this.getField("Location").value == "WW")) {
    event.value = "Not Applicable";
    else if ((this.getField("SubBrand").value == "Passion" || "Passion for Men") && (this.getField("Location").value == "US")) {
    event.value = "US02";
    else if ((this.getField("SubBrand").value == "Passion" || "Passion for Men") && (this.getField("Location").value == "WH")) {
    event.value = "WH02";
    else if ((this.getField("SubBrand").value == "Adventure" || "Liquid" || "Silver") && (this.getField("Location").value == "WW")) {
    event.value = "WW01";
    else if ((this.getField("SubBrand").value == "Adventure" || "Liquid" || "Silver") && (this.getField("Location").value == "US")) {
    event.value = "US01";
    else if ((this.getField("SubBrand").value == "Adventure" || "Liquid" || "Silver") && (this.getField("Location").value == "WH")) {
    event.value = "WH01";
    else
    event.value = "";

    Thanks for the tip GIlad I've amended my code but am still experiencing the issue, im at a loss as to what is preventing the address field from changing when the subbrand changes.
    Can you suggest anything else that may be preventing this from happening?
    Updated Code:
    var subBrand = this.getField("SubBrand").value
    var location = this.getField("Location").value
    if      ((subBrand == "Passion" || "Passion for Men") && (location == "WW")) {
            event.value = "Not Applicable";
    else if ((subBrand == "Passion" || "Passion for Men") && (location == "US")) {
            event.value = "US02";
    else if ((subBrand == "Passion" || "Passion for Men") && (location == "WH")) {
            event.value = "WH02";
    else if ((subBrand == "Adventure" || "Liquid" || "Silver") && (location == "WW")) {
            event.value = "WW01";
    else if ((subBrand == "Adventure" || "Liquid" || "Silver") && (location == "US")) {
            event.value = "US01";
    else if ((subBrand == "Adventure" || "Liquid" || "Silver") && (location == "WH")) {
            event.value = "WH01";
    else    event.value = "";

  • Trouble with screen resolution when using Parallels and ACT on Macbook Pro (late 2013)

    Hello, I have installed my Sage ACT 2013 software on my Macbook Pro 13" Retina (late 2013) computer that has 16GB of RAM and an i7 core processor using Parallels 9 desktop and Windows 7- 64bit.  The problem is that the screen resolution is very small and condensed to the left side making reading the title boxes and content very difficult.  I reached out to Parallels who was unable to resolve the screen resolution by either  adjusting the display settings or the Windows 7 video settings. Right now they have the Resolution listed as "Scaled" as the "Best for Retina" & "More Space" options did not help the issue.  What is even more strange is that I have Office 2013 installed on the Parallels side so that it can interface with ACT and those screen resolutions read just fine.  Are there any ACT/MAC users out there that might have any insight for me? Thx!

    See -> http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf.
    In addition to the Windows disc (or USB flash drive with the Windows installer) you'll need a 8GB+ flash drive.
    The referenced manual - on page 3, I think, gives you a run-down of what you'll need before you begin the installation. You may also want to post any further Boot Camp questions in the Boot Camp forum -> https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.
    Good luck,

  • TS2972 I am having trouble with my homesharing when watching my apple tv

    I am having trouble with my homesharing when watching my apple tv.  I am not sure if it is apple 2 tv or just apple tv.  It is smaller.

    While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
    Any luck there?

  • Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?

    Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?  How do I do that?

    They have to be either plugged in via headphone jack or the dock port at the bottom. If you can. I've used it on apple tv, but that's it. I don't know if the others work, but I don't see why not. Try plugging in speakers in the headphone jack. You will get an answer :)

  • Trouble with People Picker When Adding an InfoPath form to a form library

    I have a site in SharePoint 2013 with a Form Library that uses an InfoPath form as its default template. Everything was originally created in 2010 (SharePoint 2010 / InfoPath 2010). When we upgraded to SP2013, I still had InfoPath 2010 and I noticed that
    the people picker wasn't working (if I recall, I would just get ignored if I tried to click to open the address book). I have now upgraded to Office 2013, but when I click to open the address book for the people picker, InfoPath crashes. 
    I did some googling and tried the solution I found here:
    http://www.zoutenbier.nl/kb/sharepoint-2013/infopath-filler-2013-crashes-with-sharepoint-2013-when-using-people-picker/
    But changing the web.config caused the people picker in SharePoint to break (if I tried to add someone to a group, the picker would tell me that it couldn't communicate with the server). 
    I'm not sure what else to try. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi Amy,
    Have you restart your IIS when you add modify web.config on your SharePoint server?

    Or you can check the following article with similar errors, remove multipleSiteBindingsEnabled setting from web.config and removed second web site binding from IIS, then check results again after iisreset.

  • How to switch the keyboard language when using a bluetooth keyboard?

    When using the on-screen keyboard I have the little globe to switch languages, but when using a bluetooth keyboard the on-screen keyboard is hiden.
    I want to be able to write in different languages using the bluetooth keyboard, also the auto-correct gets in the way if I write in a different language than english and it tries to change the words to the closest similar english word.
    Help!

    I see that now Tom, I'm sorry to confuse things.  I think my problem might have been that I had the keyboard too far away from the phone, and so when I looked back from the keyboard to the phone, the screen indication of the languages had already disappeared from the screen.  Because I have more than one language with Roman characters installed, I thought that no change was occurring from that sequence of commands, since I wasn't getting Korean.  But now that I see your correction, and watch the screen closely, I see that you're right.  I apologize.  (And of course, I'm grateful to have a simpler way of switching languages!)
