Motospeak won't do speech input?

[dfandroid]

I am using Motospeak. It works fine, it reads my texts and responds to Yes/No. But it won't allow me to dictate back an answer text. The box for that is grayed out on settings. I have looked around, but speech to text is enabled, infact I can use it in Handcent. Unless Handcent is the problem?
Running 2.3.3

Thanks
