I won't use any user info-based applications (iCal, Address Book, etc.) in this secondary account. When I get Mountain Lion, I will set up a second "dummy" user, that will only be used for dictation/transcription. In all likelihood, each user on a given computer can turn Dictation on or off independent of the other users and Dictation only sends information from whichever user account is currently active. This works on any Mac that supports enhanced dictation, regardless of the system software version in use or whether or not it’s labeled as Mac OS X or macOS.This is just a work around and I don't own Mountain Lion yet, so I can't test it myself, but I bet it will work. If you want the full experience and full clarity for the various dictation commands, you should use the enhanced dictation feature. To be clear, you can disable enhanced dictation and still use the Dictation feature, but it won’t work offline and it won’t necessarily be as accurate.



From the Finder on the Mac, hit Command+Shift+G and enter the following path:.Toggle “Use Enhanced Dictation” to be OFF by unchecking the box.Go to System Preferences and to “Keyboard” and then to the “Dictation” tab.Deleting the Downloaded Enhanced Dictation Pack from Mac OS Thus, you’d only want to perform this task if you enabled the feature and don’t need it, or if you no longer use the enhanced ability. Obviously if you do this, you will lose the ability to have enhanced dictation unless you re-download the pack from Apple again. This is a two part sequence, first you need to disable Enhanced Dictation, and then remove the recognition pack. We’ll show you how to remove the Enhanced Dictation voice recognition pack and reclaim the 1.2GB of disk space from a Mac.
