Dictation not working on mavericks

I have downloaed the additional file for offline dictation, and when i double click the fn key i get a beep but nothing shows up in the text field on ANY app. i have left the pref plane open and the mic is picking up my voice as the blue line moves within the mic as it should , yet i can not get any text to show at all ???

Ay ideas as i am getting sick of this, Mavericks is buggy as **** and this is just a pain in the ****.

Back up and first tell us if normal dictation works. If normal dictation works offline certainly won't. So unclick offline dictation and then let us know if it does or doesn't work. (If it does you can try selecting offline again. Toggling off and back on did work for me on one computer.)

Deleting the user library, caches, com.apple.SpeechRecognitionCore folder worked for me. I tried all other suggestions except reinstalling the OS.
