Dictation

Suddenly, while testing out my new Mountain Lion, I tried to turn on dictation. When I activate dictation, it just sits there with response on the visual meter. My mic is set to the Internal Microphone.


I need help,

Thanks

EDIT: No Response

Okay, I have a new development. I am in settings, and my mic is set to mute, but the box is grayed out so I cannot un-mute it. It also wont let me change my volume.

You need internet connection for Dictation to work. Press fn twice to turn on Dictation>say what you need to say>press fn again> your speech will be sent to Apple for processing then returned as text.

Sounds slow but the process takes about 2 seconds or less for return.
