Before installing the new update dictation was working fine. Now not at all. I checked the settings and all is correct for dictation.
Any suggestions?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.7
Sadly this didn't work for me. I have tried many, many unsuccessful suggestions now and still have the same result - I hear a sound, see a brief flash of a symbol and then nothing happens when I start to dictate. Dictation is still working on my iphone but that's not a realistic place for the kind of work I need to do. There's clearly a problem with Sonoma 14.7 which Apple surely needs to fix. This is a serious issue for people with joint problems and many other disabilities.
Thank you! Let's hope that persuades them to take this issue seriously!
I just got off Apple Support with the same problem. Try System Settings > Keyboard > Dictation > Shortcut > Press Control Key Twice — that's what you must do to dictate. Apple is becoming more and more like Windows. We have to remember all these Keyboard Commands. Thankfully, on the iPhone Dictation remains the default setting.
Francesca, did you try what I posted on Sep 26, 2024?
System Settings > Keyboard > Dictation > Shortcut > Press Control Key Twice
If this doesn't work, Force Quit Messages, and relaunch.
Dictation is working after I updated my MacBook Air 15" to Sequoia 15.1. In Messages go to Edit > Start Dictation. I prefer the older method.
I have the same issues both Dictation & Siri now are not working and try to fix the problem as Strontium90
recommended many times but still remain same problem. And the symptoms same as you.
I literally have the exact same thing happening on mine.
Dictation not working after installing Sonoma 14.7
