Could you please share how you are using dictation in the Windows VM? (I'm on mavericks, windows 8.1, parallels desktop 9.0.23350 rev 941886)
I can't seem to get it to work at all. I hit the function key twice as I usually do under OS X, but nothing happens in the Windows virtual machine. Is there some option or preference I'm missing?
Thanks for your help,
John
