    Hi!
    I was happy to see that P have implemented the dictation feature in PD 9.
    The shortcut for dictation works well, though some commands like "new line", etc. seem to work poorly!.
    There is a very important feature though in "Dictation and Speech/Text to speech" which allows me to let OSX Speak selected text with the selected language / voice. With a hotkey / keystroke specified you can tell OS X to speak any selected text globally in any application. I've set "option - <" as that hotkey. Though it works in any app on the desktop it does not work in any windows app. There is simply no action or error message. Due to the fact that I'm partially sighted this feature is very important for me!
    Has anyone got an idea?
    Thanks in advance!
    Heinz

    PS: I've set the Hotkey Settings in the PD9 Preverences to always accept - no effect...
