snowy58 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Hi I have an HP Probook 4530s that works perfectly with the dictation feature in Mountain Lion. On the other hand, I have 2 desktops with ML that absolutely won't translate voice into text. What might the problem be? In the Dictation & Speech control panel in system Preferences, I choose the microphone input source. There are several possible, and in sound preferences, I choose the right one there as well. Nothing has worked. The microphone shows a graphic that indicates signal being received. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Pandar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbrush Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Not sure if that's related to your problem, but I was in similar situation, and have been researching for a few days. Then I finally realised though I am using TP-Link 4800 PCIe WiFi card for my network connection on my Gigabyte z77 board, I had to enabled the built-in ethernet which I needed to install AtherosL1Ethernet.kext and EthernetBuiltin=yes in org.chameleon.Boot.plist in order to make dictation willing to load. I realised that's something to do with network since I saw assistantd connected to Apple's server, and then disconnect immediately without starting assistant_service which it normally does. So I thought its something to do with verifying my machine or some sort, since I have already patched my hack to make iMessage and App Store works, it must be something else. The only thing I could think of was since my smbios set my Mac as a desktop, so it might be looking for an ethernet's MAC address for verification, so I bite the bullet and made the hack recognise the ethernet. Finally it works perfectly. Hope this helps someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
