Dictation is slow to a crawl in Sequoia

This issue has been around since beta and it's still not fixed. All the mods keep locking the subjects that have to do with this bug so no one can vote this item up to get the bug properly scored. What a disservice to the user base. AI has made the issue so much worse. We use dictation very heavily at my job since we hire a lot of great people with disabilities who can be so much more efficient using dictation. I just found out the IT manager just purchased my whole department all new Windows 11 notebooks because of this issue. This is so wrong on so many levels. All 17 of us can't be having exactly the same problem this is a bug and it needs to be prioritized asap before more PC's are used to replace this very bad bug.


Mods please don't lock this thread, the people who are rating this bug in the SCRUM process need the feedback.

Am no expert in this area. Reading your post to us, seems the community has little opportunity to help troubleshoot the issue you mention. We see little actual info. to go on, about the particular difficulties you want to overcome.

Re: AI has made the issue so much worse.


Eg: Wondering if your issue is in using Voice Control's accessibility methods for Dictation (eg: with option of moving between Command mode, Dictation mode, Spelling mode,). (ie: Apple menu > System Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control )

or

just in using the regular Dictation: (Apple menu  > System Settings > Keyboard)

which may be more limited, particularly for users with accessibility needs.

Guess you don't need any help with Apple's Dictation software.
