Voice management on Monterey (with M1 {hardware}) is now wonderful, and I am utilizing it on a regular basis for the previous few days, together with the pinnacle pointer. It is now so good that I am changing into annoyed that it isn’t excellent…

I am utilizing ulysses alongside chrome, switching to Ulysses to take notes (by dictation).
Typically voice management will enter a state the place it would reply to instructions (equivalent to “press a key” (producing a letter ‘a’) however won’t take steady dictation.

It is may properly be a bug, however I am making an attempt to trace it down, or no less than isolate trigger and impact. No luck but..

Extra data:

• switching voice management on and off once more restores steady dictation. Earlier than I did that, it was responding solely to instructions, not steady dictation.
• the microphone degree indicator on the backside proper hand of the display screen now doesn’t replace, maybe suggesting a excessive tax on system assets from working voice management; or a scarcity of optimisation given it’s nonetheless an early function.
• I am utilizing an M1 mini with 8 GB of RAM & a usb snowball blue mic.
• in contrast to some enthusiastic reviewers prompt, these machines should not all-powerful. Exercise monitor exhibits reminiscence stress yellow, and one purple spike about once I swap to voice management on and off. I’ve no different important functions are working aside from chrome with fairly a number of tabs.
• I am curious whether or not an M1 with bigger reminiscence might not have this problem, however haven’t got one to check as but.

Can anybody who has an M1 with 16G+ RAM please examine if steady dictation works reliably with out dropping out when switching between functions? I believe this may assist however shouldn’t have such a machine at hand at current.
