I'm using a MacBook Air and O.S.15.3.1 and I like to use Dictation when typing
texts or emails. 

But the key to start dictation, F5 doesn't work and none of the suggested
shortcuts will work. The only way I can get dictation to work is by using the
"Start dictation" command from the Edit drop down box. But this presents
problems when attempting to use it with Usenet as the drop down Edit box
doesn't present a Start Dictation command.

Can anyone suggest a work round for this?
