Hi dongbongg,


It is hard to tell what you have done already, but the procedure for turning Dictation off is in this article -


Mac Basics: Dictation lets you speak text instead of typing

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5449

Turning Dictation on or off; setting Dictation preferences

  1. Choose Apple () > System Preferences.
  2. From the View menu, choose Dictation & Speech.
  3. Click "On" to turn Dictation on, or "Off" to turn it off.

And -

Using Dictation in an application

To use Dictation in an OS X app, simply follow these steps:

  1. Select a text field.
  2. Press the fn (Function) key twice, or choose Edit > Start Dictation.
  3. Dictate (speak) what you want to have inserted into the text field.
  4. When finished, click Done or press the fn key again.

If this does not do it for you, reply back and we will keep working on it.
