I DO NOT want to use Dictation, but after the latest update macOS Sequoia 15.3, my work computer keeps asking me to enable without any option to disable it or the dialog.
The dialog only have the buttons "Not now" and "Enable", not a "No and don't ask". There isn't an off option in settings.
This is getting really annoying. Why don't companies respect their users enough to take no for an answer?
I had this problem too. I think it comes from the hilarious default keybinding to enable dictation "press control key twice". Search for "Dictation" in System Preferences and find the "Dictation" section and you can adjust the Shortcut. I searched "Keyboard shortcuts" and couldn't find it, so their settings are sadly an inconsistent mess. I set it to "press right command key twice", as I rarely use that key, but I can't seem to turn it on at all now. Which isn't a problem for me lol.
Interesting. I've had every version of Sequoia including 15.3 installed on three different Macs and have never had it ask if I want to use Dictation. What apps are you running when you get the message?
I usually have VS Code, slack, chrome and iTerm running.
It started after the last update about a week ago, the dialog pops up several times a day.
I have changed the shortcut to mic, because that key doesn't exist on my external keyboard. It didn't change much.

I don't have VS Code, slack, or iTerm installed so I can't test them.
How do I completely disable Dictation on macOS Sequoia 15.3?
