Does the interent work?

Can you connect vai Safari?

Are the ports required for Dictation open? See:

Dictation requires an Internet connection with Mountain Lion

Dictation in Mountain Lion needs an active Internet connection. If you have a proxy server on your network, at your workplace for example, Dictation may appear to have no Internet connection. In rare circumstances, a very slow connection may cause delays between when you speak a word and when it then appears in a text field when finished. To learn what network ports Dictation uses, see, "Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products."

It is also required for Mavericks
