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.

Description

VoiceInk is a macOS dictation application that utilizes local AI technology to convert spoken words into precise text almost instantaneously, ensuring user privacy throughout the process. It operates seamlessly across various applications, allowing individuals to dictate content for emails, messages, notes, documents, and even coding without disrupting their usual workflow. By keeping all audio processing on the Mac, users have the option to utilize cloud services only when they choose to connect. The app features global shortcuts that enable users to toggle recording, utilize push-to-talk functionality, retry, cancel, and paste without needing to navigate away from their current task. Additionally, a personalized dictionary helps VoiceInk learn unique names, specialized terminology, uncommon spellings, phrases, and Smart Replace shortcuts for frequently used texts. Its contextual awareness enhances transcription by utilizing selected text, clipboard data, or text visible on the screen, which significantly boosts the accuracy of its AI-driven output. Users can also save different transcription models and customize enhancement prompts, context settings, output behaviors, and shortcuts tailored for specific applications, websites, or tasks, adding to the app's versatility. This comprehensive functionality makes VoiceInk a powerful tool for anyone looking to improve their dictation experience on macOS.
