My screen does NOT look like the one below. I'm trying to disable Auto-Punctuation as it's annoying.
This is what SHOULD BE available as a choice (found in an article):
Here's what I ACTUALLY SEE in my settings: It's NOT THERE. How do I disable this annoying feature ???
Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE 1: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
NOTE 2: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will insure a successful boot into Safe Mode.
Even with DICTATION ON ... that feature does not show up to be turned off. It's default ON.
Mine has this auto-punctuation, with a note saying it is available in English (US):
Any difference if you change your mike source?
