Step 1: Place your cursor in the app where you want to speak the text. Say things like start list or bold last sentence to let your ideas flow without stopping to adjust your text. Tap the microphone to dictate your message. Once you have dictation enabled, you can simply use the keyboard shortcut to begin using it. Whether on desktop or mobile (or transitioning between devices), you can stay in the flow and focus on your message by using dictation with voice commands to add, format, edit, and organize your text. Whenever you open an app that allows for dictation, there will be a microphone icon. Here are some common punctuation and formatting commands that you can use: Quote/end quote: begin and end a quote New paragraph: start a new paragraph New line: begin a new line Cap: capitalize the next word Caps on/caps off: capitalize the first character of each word Smiley: insert :-) Frowny. Tap the Enable Dictation toggle to toggle it on. This is basically copy of the commands in Preferences → Accessibility → Voice Control → Commands…, but has the advantage of being text/HTML, so it’s searchable. Here's how to enable dictation, also known as voice-to-text, on your iPhone: Go to Settings. Although I’ve done a fair bit of testing using Voice Control on macOS over the past year or so, I’m far from an every day user, so something that comes in very handy is my cheatsheet. Choose Apple menu ( ) > System Preferences and click on the Accessibility icon at the bottom and on the left menu scroll down to Dictation. Its a quick and easy way to get your thoughts out, create drafts or outlines, and capture notes.
