Hello guys! Anyone experiencing the dictation feature not working on iMac Yosemite when Webroot is on?

+62Hello Richmjr,
Welcome to the Community Forum,
Well I have a Mac/Yosemite and I'm running WSAC and I just tried my dictation feature and it works perfectly with Webroot enabled.
Did you want to check your Disk Permissions? This is quoted from the Mac Researcher below:
The Mac operating system relies on permissions for most tasks. If these permissions are incorrect, they can cause a variety of issues, both with your programs and with computer performance itself.
To check permissions on the Mac OS:
1. Navigate to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
Note: The Disk Utility feature is advanced and powerful. Any action you take using the Disk Utility is at your own risk. We recommend you only use the Disk Utility under instruction by a qualified technician.
2. Click the Hard Drive name, e.g. Macintosh HD, in the left panel.
3. Under the First Aid tab, select Show details.
4. Click Verify Disk Permissions. This operation may take some time to complete.
5. If the operation finds permissions issues, fixing them can resolve the issue you have reported. Click Repair Disk Permissions. This process may also take time to complete.
6. Once the repair process is finished, restart your computer.
7. After restarting, please test the issue you have reported.
If this doesnt work please send support a ticket and let them know that you have already did a permission fix.
Would you let us know how things are going? I'm also curious as to why your Dictaion doesn't work.
Thanks,
