Zak,
Are you dictating locally onto your computer or over a network such as Citrix? If you are this is probably a network issue but I can't be 100% certain. You may want to incorporate a workaround such as the Dictation Box (If you use the Dictation Box, you can place your cursor inside the network EMR and say ?transfer text?. KnowBrainer 2016 includes additional transfer commands, that utilize NotePad, which is notably faster.)which shouldn't experience this latency. You can test my theory by dictating into DragonPad. It dictation is always quick, it's probably a network issue.
