dictation

I have chosen two languages for my keyboard, which are English and French. I've gone into settings and then keyboard. I have two keyboard options for typing in French or English. moreover, when I try to dictate in French, it types English words that might sound like French. when I look at my...

Hi, By mistake I create a custom dictation keyboard shortcut. Now I want to restore the dropdown list of the shortcut option on dictation. In other words I want to restore the shortcut dictation dropdown list removing the custom shortcut. Anyone knows how to do it or where that shortcut is...

About five years ago I had an iPhone and always used dictation instead of typing things out on the keyboard. Dictation seemed to work pretty well, although there were a few words I had to go back in and correct before sending the text onto its destination. Today I have an iPhone 13 and an iPad...

Hi all, I am using Sonoma for dictation on my M1 MacBook Pro, 16 inch while I recover from wrist surgery. I have noticed a few quirks from its processing, but there is a particular one that is getting to me. I'd love to know if it's just my system, or if it's reproducible by others, and if...

Ever since the second iOS 17 update the predictive text on Facebook would work incredibly fast, but it would kinda separate the words or push the left over letters to the right. The left over letters as in the ones I didn’t get to type bc predictive text finished it first but didn’t erase the...

Three years after Covid started, Siri still can’t hear this word. It comes up as covert or covet. Surely these days it’s a commonly used word. I remember reading that they used to monitor conversations to try to improve Siri and dictation, but that stopped a few years ago, because some of the...

Now, much has been written about the “fantastic” new way how you can use dictation and keyboard at the same time in iOS 16. However, one “feature” is making it unusable: I have set up two languages for dictation (English and German). In the old world, it was so easy: Show the English...

iPhone 8 256GB, iOS 15 (15.6.1) For kicks I switched to UK English. I quickly changed back to US English. But I'm stuck having to say "full stop" instead of "period" when I want dictation to input "." . I have changed to Canadian English followed by a restart (which I had to do manually...

I input voice to text on my phone using: Drafts, Office, Evernote for short snippets of dictation and I wonder how this works ? Do they all process via the same voice to speech software engine or do they each use their own ? Is there a particular app that does the best job (Drafts seems the...

Having been frustrated with Dragon Naturally Speaking on Win10 using via VMWare on my Intel Macs, I'm curious if onboard dictation with M1s on Monterey would be more efficient for work. Is it fairly accurate? Can you upload custom dictionaries?

Dragon Dictate WAS working fine on my Apple silicon MacBook Pro, but today (2021-02-24) it crashed. I guess that Nuance has pulled the plug in macOS 11 and later, or the old code couldn't keep up. My new M1 MacBook Pro inherited the final version of Nuance's Dragon dictation app through...

I'd like to add a large number of words used in my work to Voice Control. However, the UI in the Accessibility preference panel only allows entering one word at a time. In Catalina, I believe Voice Control with US English uses Siri's voice recognition. I can't find the dictionary or other...

This may be old news, but I just discovered the other day that you can use the pilot's alphabet when dictating text to the Apple TV. While the device has been pretty good at hearing letter names in the past for me, it's recognition of the pilot alphabet was spot on the first time I used it...

The XS does not perform at all compared to my 6s. It literally has yet to hit 50% on any phrase or series of words for of any attempt thus far. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone have an explanation/fix for this?

I’ve been noticing that after I dictate with Siri, the autocorrect consistently changes the text in ways that introduce new errors. One change that is driving me nuts is changing “-“ to “Dash.” Even after correcting it many times, it seems that Siri never learns the correct way. Overall, the...

When I was using the demo iPhone 8 model in the Apple store, the dictation was very good. It was able to pick up what I was saying with impressive accuracy despite background noise. On the iPhone 8 I purchased, though, dictation is horrible. It can barely understand a word I'm saying even when...

I noticed that on the Apple HIG, it says that custom keyboards should not implement emoji or dictation buttons because they are shown below custom and default keyboards. This is amazing news since native dictation was always a sorely missed feature with custom keyboards...

Hey, just want to get some opinions: Is it just me or is dictation for Mac working worse than SIRI on IOS? When dictating a text message on your iPhone using Siri, it generally works better than when dictating something on your mac, (which is not SIRI by the way) I also have problems at...

I'm considering Nuance Dragon 6.0 for my MacBook. Any user out there who can provide some feedback. Thanks.

I'm certainly learning to use Siri more now that i've got a S2 Watch. I'm finding composing messages difficult. If i say "hey Siri" or hold the Digital Crown and say "Message Andrew and say I'm on my way to you" unless i say his full name or use the nickname, the watch will bring up every...
