The Australian

[Severin Crisp]

Earlier today I noted problems with The Australian.  I now believe that the 
problem arises when the paper is opened by clicking in the daily email 
notification and it uses Safari.  How do I force it to use The Australian app?  
 I see one way is to bypass the mail notification and just open the app which 
will go to the latest edition.

Re: Dictation not showing command list

Neither.  But I would use Nuance in preference, Dictation is too slow and I can 
type more accurately

 Hi Kaye,
 
 Is she trying to access the “show Commands” this way?
 To see a list of all the commands you can access, activate Dictation 
 (press fn fn), wait for the beep, and then say “Show commands”
 
 When you're dictating, pause before saying a command. Otherwise, OS X may 
 interpret it as dictation.
 
 Check in System Preferences > Accessibility and choose Dictation in the 
 list to the left. 
 Click 'Dictation Commands' and then select the 'Enable Advanced Commands' 
 option. 
 Click done in the preference pane to activate advanced commands.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Bill,

Did you use Mac Dictation or Nuance for your email?

Cheers,

 Hi,
 
 I have a friend with failing eyesight who is using Enhanced Dictation 
 under El Capitan. Until recently everything worked well, but now the 
 spoken request "Show Commands" returns a formatted screen with no commands 
 listed. She normally dictates in French, but we switched to English (and 
 to Spanish) and tried them with the same result. Dictation continues to 
 work - it responds to the spoken commands and produces documents from 
 spoken dictation in all three languages - but she can no longer get a list 
 of the commands available to be recognised.
 
 Has anyone else seen this behaviour or have any idea of where we start 
 looking to get her commands displayed. She is unaware of doing anything 
 that may have caused the problem, and I can't find anything in her 
 settings that could turn off displaying the commands.
 
 Cheers, Kaye

Re: Dictation not showing command list

[Bill Parker]

I use Nuance Dragon.  If I needed “enjo” I would not say en yo.rather en jo and 
correct the result.  However if I wanted to write a chemical word I would split 
it up.  However, Mac Diustation is so slow and makes so many mistakes I cannot 
use it.

Re: Dictation not showing command list

[gdorn@me]

Can dictation  "learn" words

in appleworks, I use to be able to add words to dictionary  - ie English 
spelling

Does dictation have a similar capability.

Eg.  try saying  " Enjo" and see what you get  ( we usually get " you know"
