i tried show commands microphone reacted but nothing else happened
tim: Do you have enhanced dictation turned on? Which version of macOS?
yes i did get it to work but i didn't have the same commands like i didn't have applications and when i clicked a command the commands dissappeared and i had to close everything and open mail backup to get it to appear again. i have macos high sierra.
Same here, latest os update , all commands after "system" don't appear in the commands list. Same issue on Sierra. Have you something forgotten to tell us ?
Tried an English and a dutch configuration, same result. Also speech only works with a new document open, not a received one.
Peter & Tim: Keep in mind that the commands you see depend on the app that is currently frontmost (shows next to the Apple menu in the menu bar). Also, note that there is a reveal triangle to the left of each category, maybe Application and Document simply are "collapsed" and need to be "expanded." Or, do Application and Document not even appear for you?
yes application and document don't appear so i went to my imac and i couldn't get anything when i hit fn key twice i didn't even hear a noise like i did on my macbook.
Even after having to download (1.2GB) enhance dictation it did not work. I do not get a list of commands after hitting the "fn" key twice.
I have HighSierra v 10.13.4; it did not work as I followed your video, including making sure my system preferences were correct.
Michael: Did you speak "Show Commands?"
I have the same configuration and same problem as Michael. This application should help me as I have fading eyesight.
Same issue for me. I turned on Dictation + Enhanced Dictation, and set the trigger to be tapping the right Command key twice. The mic shows my voice is registering, but nothing happens when I say, "Show commands." I tried a half dozen times with the Finder as the frontmost app. High Sierra 10.13.6
Solved the problem. Still wonder why you did not mention this in the video or didn't you now it yourself ? Anyway, open accessibility in system preferences , click dictation , click dictation commands and tick "enable advanced commands". Now all the commands appear, even application and document.
