you need OS X 10.8 or higher. you have iOS 7.0.6 listed in your profile which is for iDevices and is a mobile operating system. What version of OS X are you currently running?

There was no high number than 7.0.6

you need 10.8 or higher, that is why you do not have dictation. Also, if you go back you can select 10.7.5. See here:
