Ah but you have to hit the Fn key twice to start it and you do not say that
below.
I think from a later message response you are saying to me that the vo
saying misspelt continuously is a bug, have I understood that correctly?
Haven't you been trying the new operating system, is the same happening
there?

The last time I have tried to use dictation on this mac book pro in the
early months when I got this mac it was working fine. Now when I have tried
dictation I start it with the fn key and stop it with the fn key.
Now this was happening before my recent clean install of mavericks so I
haven’t tested it out since then.

Sorry for all questions, it is just I am trying to wean myself off Windows

only with more use that the issues are arising.
Now in Mail, I thought if I want to reply to a message and to use
dictation, I could press the Fn key twice and once again to stop the
dictation. I am doing this but nothing happens. I can hear a sort of
beep when the dictation supposedly starts but then there is nothing when I
stop the dictation. I thought I had set this up in text edit with someone
but maybe it has to be set up in Mail also.
Secondly when I am reading a mail from someone, vo keeps saying words are
misspelt and I guess they are because of the way people write in slang
etc. Now on my Windows PC I don't have this happening. Do I have to just
put up with listening to this intrusion of misspelt as messages are being
read back to me?
