I did a little more digging, and found that if you are using enhanced dictation
it does indeed take a while to load resources into active memory. I figure that
Apple has all of my data anyways, and can do whatever they want with it, so I
might as well use the server based dictation if I'm on line. It also has the
convenience of having your address book names, so it has odd spellings already
loaded.
Seems to be a much snappier response using non-in Hanst dictation. That seems
an odd thing to call it, nonenhanced, but standard dictation doesn't seem to be
what they call it either.
Thanks for the wisdom,
Ian.

Seems that the response to dictation is different between the two apps, watch

What I’m noticing is that if I havne’t used dictation for a while, like if
it’s the first tiem of the day, I activate with a double tap of the FN key,
but then there is a long delay before the indicator beep. After this if I
hit the shortcut the beep comes right away. Then if I haven’t used
dicatation for a while, the delay comes back.

Don't know, I use Siri but seldom Dictation.
I notice with Dictation that it does not appear to respond to my initial
phrase but does to the second, or perhaps third. Is this what you have
noticed and are trying to correct ?

OK, I just turned off Siri. Seems like the choppy read back is gone, but
it was intermitent anyways so we’ll see if it comes back.
The SIRI information pane in system preferences says you can use SIRI to
dictate a note, whats’ the syntax for this?

Have you also got Siri turned on, if so turn it off and see if there is a
change.

I’m currently set to enhanced, but I’ve noticed it with enhanced and
non-enhanced modes.
Do you have any thoughts as to which is more likely to have the delay?
With enhanced dictation turned off I’m getting a different beep tone at
start, and a choppy read back of my dictated text as I speak.

Hello list, I know this is something that has been referenced before,
but I can't find it in the archives. in working with dictation on Mac,
there is a delay before it beeps if you haven't used dictation for a
while, sometimes as soon as only a few minutes after you last used it.
Does anyone know what causes this Delay, and if there is a way to keep
the microphone primed as it were so that this delay doesn't happen?
Thanks,
Ian
