Works on 10.11.6, with no restart and no disable. Nice fix.

So, in 10.12.3, I can change the file com.apple.speech.recognition.AppleSpeechRecognition.prefs as required

but, it simply gets replaced the moment dictation is used with the default version

anyone know how to make changes stick or why it gets re-written?
