I have a macbook air early 2015 model.
I've recently upgraded to Catalina and discovered voice control. I want to use it, but after I enable it, after a few seconds, it shuts off.
Why is that? It's getting annoying.
Hi Moonchild98,
It sounds like you are having trouble with Voice Control, and I want to help.
Let's follow the steps here to enable Voice Control:
Use Voice Control on your Mac - Apple Support
If you're having trouble enabling it, lets see if you can enable this option while in safe mode:
Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support
Let me know if that helps.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
Hi! Thank you for your reply!
I tried your first suggested option. But that is what I have been doing already. The thing is, after I close the system preferences window and reopen it again, the enable voice control is unchecked again. It goes like that, even after several tries.
For your other suggestion, I am iffy about trying the safe mode.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks, again.
Also, I noticed, whenever I check enable voice control, there are no notice of voice control files being downloaded.
I have the exact same problem on a 2017 iMac. The download never initiates and Voice Control just disables itself moments later.
I tried safe mode. It also didn't work.
several threads running on this. Lot of people appear to have the problem. Happening with fairly new Macs, or with mine, anyway.
voice control keeps shutting off on my mac
