I didn't have to go to system preferences. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

To activate you go to system prefs and select dictation. Then just follow the prompts. The first time you press the FN key twice to start dictation, you will need to answer if you want the command to tell you what its's doing. I just unchecked this item. To dictate. For example in test edit. After you have opened a new document, press the FN key twice. 2. you will hear a little bink like in iOS. 3. Just start dictation. 4. When done, press the FN key again and you will hear another bink and Serie will tell you that is thinksing. Then your dictated text will appear in text edit. I hope this slapped together message helps someone. On Jul 25, 2012, at 7:57 AM, Keith Reedy wrote: How do you use dictation, haven't got it installed yet.

And now I am adding to this email by using dictation. I am going to love this! It works! It really works! It is worth the upgrade just to be able to dictate! -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
