Dictation problem in Mavericks.

[lesliewj]

When I use the dictation functions， there is a problem， if I pronounce the word “product”，it always will be showed "protect" or "productive", have you guys ever met the problem?

I'm gonna guess that there's a possibility that your accent may be causing the issue. In my case those two words are being recognized correctly and consistently, the words being "product" and "protect". By the way this was typed in part using dictation in Mavericks. Having said that, on occasion it does mistake my words for the wrong ones. Dictation is definitely not 100% foolproof.

Is anyone having issues with enhanced dictation not working ?

It hasn't been working since a few previews back. If I recall right it broke in DP3 but it might have been DP2.

Normal dictation works fine though.

Can't comment as I've only used normal dictation so far. I will be testing enhanced dictation soon but by the sounds of it it's not working anyhow.

thanks for your reply! But I tried it again, it's so weird that the same issue didn't happen to me again. I think that maybe it's not stable, especially under the poor networking condition. Do you think that the network condition will cause this issue? thank in advance!

I can't see how a network issue would cause only specific words to consistently be mis-captured. I honestly can't think of why this word in particular is the issue when on my end it works fine (most of the time).

Still broken as of DP5 for me.

Still broken in DP6 for me.

Not working in DP6. Get a never-ending, gray spinning wheel. Cancel button only. I'm guessing this fix is still at the bottom of the list for now.

Does Dictation in OS X learn when a user right-clicks a word and "corrects" it? If I'm not mistaken, the spell checker in iOS will learn if you cancel a suggested auto-correct.
