[Robert Leslie Newman]

Sorry, not have a MAC of any kind. I am getting a iPad Mini.

Subject: [stylist] Using Dictation on the Mac Mini


Good morning. I went to my one-on-one training at the Apple Store on
Saturday. The text there didn't not know the answers to my problems with the
dictation program. I contacted Apple's customer support today, and they did
not know the answer either.

I can get dictation to work well on social media, and in e-mail.  If I am
using Pages, and it is only a few pages long it works reasonably well.
There are a few odd capitalization errors, For instance it likes to
capitalize the first word after a comma.  It also cannot figure out the
names of my characters in my novel. And every now and then the matter how
hard I try it can't figure out what I'm saying.

The worst part is though, if I try to work in a document over 20 pages,
dictation crashes. And I often can't get it to restart. Does anyone else
have this problem? If so, how did you fix it?

Thank you and stay warm and dry in this frozen tundra,
