Description

Apple Dictation is an integrated feature in macOS that allows users to input text by speaking in any application where text can be entered. Once the feature is activated, users can initiate it using the Microphone key, a personalized keyboard shortcut, or by selecting Start Dictation, and can terminate it with the Escape key, the same shortcut, or the Microphone key again. For those using Apple silicon Macs, it is possible to continue typing while dictating, with Dictation resuming listening once keyboard activity ceases. Users can issue spoken commands to insert emoji, punctuation marks, new lines, and new paragraphs, and the system can automatically add commas, periods, and question marks in supported languages. Dictation is capable of handling text of any length and will cease automatically after 30 seconds of no detected speech input. If macOS is unsure about a particular word, it highlights the text for users to either choose an alternative or make a manual correction. Additionally, users can enable multiple Dictation languages and switch between them during their speech, while also having the option to select their preferred microphone or allow macOS to make that choice automatically. This flexibility makes Apple Dictation a powerful tool for enhancing productivity and accessibility across macOS applications.
