Dictate messages and documents on Mac

With Dictation, you can speak to enter text anywhere you can type it.

Dictation is not available in all languages or regions, and features may vary. See the macOS Feature Availability page to see which languages you can dictate in and which languages include support for additional Dictation features.

If you want to enter text and control your Mac by speaking commands, instead of using a keyboard, mouse, or trackpad, you can use Voice Control . When Voice Control is on, you use Voice Control to dictate text; standard macOS Dictation isn’t available.

Turn Dictation on or off

Open Keyboard settings for me

Go to Dictation, then turn it on or off.

If you turned on Dictation, click Enable. If you’re asked whether you want to improve Siri and Dictation, do one of the following:

Share audio recordings: Click Share Audio Recordings to allow Apple to store audio of your Siri and Dictation interactions from your Mac. Apple may review a sample of stored audio.

Don’t share audio recordings: Click Not Now.

Note: You can delete the audio interactions (which are associated with a random identifier and less than six months old) whenever you like—see Delete Siri and Dictation history .

To learn more about how Apple protects your information and lets you choose what you share, click About Ask Siri, Dictation & Privacy at the bottom of Keyboard settings, or see the Apple Privacy website .

Dictate text

In an app on your Mac, place the insertion point where you want to enter text.

Note: Press and release the Microphone key to start Dictation; press and hold the key to activate Siri (Siri must be enabled).

To insert an emoji or a punctuation mark, or perform simple formatting tasks, do any of the following:

Say the name of an emoji, like “heart emoji” or “car emoji.”

Say the name of the punctuation mark, such as “exclamation mark.”

Say “new line” (equivalent to pressing the Return key once) or “new paragraph” (equivalent to pressing the Return key twice). The new line or new paragraph appear when you’re done dictating.

For a list of the commands you can use while dictating, see Commands for dictating text .

You can dictate text of any length without a timeout. When you’re done, press the Escape key, the Microphone key (if available), or the Dictation keyboard shortcut. Dictation stops automatically when no speech is detected for 30 seconds.

Ambiguous text is underlined in blue. For example, you may get the result “flour” when you intended the word “flower.” If this is the case, click the underlined word and select an alternative. You can also type or dictate the correct text.

Set the Dictation keyboard shortcut

You can customize the key combination you press to start or stop Dictation.

Go to Dictation, click the Shortcut pop-up menu, then choose a shortcut to start Dictation.

To create a shortcut that’s not in the list, choose Customize, then press the keys you want to use. For example, you could press Option-Z.

Dictate in another language

You can change the language you dictate text in, or set up Dictation for multiple languages and switch between them as needed.

Note: Dictation is not available in all languages or regions, and features may vary. See the macOS Feature Availability page.

Go to Dictation, click the Edit button next to Languages, then select a language and region. (To remove a language, deselect it.)

Change the microphone used for Dictation

The microphone source in Keyboard settings shows which device your Mac is currently using to listen for Dictation.

Go to Dictation, click the pop-up menu next to “Microphone source,” then choose the microphone you want to use for Dictation.

If you choose Automatic, your Mac listens to the device you’re most likely to use for Dictation.

iPhone Dictation: How to Use Voice-to-Text

These days, hands-free iPhone operations are easier than ever. Siri commands can take care of almost all your iPhone dictation needs. But if you want to mostly  dictate text instead of using a keyboard , you can also enable dictation on your iOS device. We'll show you how to send texts and emails via Siri, how to enable dictation, and more.

How to Use Siri Text-to-Speech to Send a Text

• How to Enable Dictation on Your iPhone

Common Voice-to-Text Commands for Dictation

Talk-to-text on your iPhone is incredibly helpful when sending a text message. To send a text through Siri: 

• Start dictating right away, or wait for Siri to respond with, "What do you want to say?"

You can also try using Siri to add events to the Calendar app, create reminders in the Reminders app, and even dictate a brief email. 

How to Enable iPhone Dictation

If you want to use your voice-to-text on iPhone to do more than send a quick text or add an item to a list, you'll want to enable iPhone dictation. This will allow you to more easily use voice typing to compose longer messages, create entire lists in Notes or Reminders, edit events in the Calendar app, and more. You can use dictation in most apps that have a keyboard. For more great iPhone talk-to-text tricks, check out our free  Tip of the Day !

Here's how to enable dictation, also known as voice-to-text, on your iPhone:

Now you're ready to dictate your response by using the voice-to-text iPhone commands. Frustratingly, there is no voice command to delete mistakes. If you want to delete something you'll either have to start a whole new note or text or tap the screen to select the text you want to replace and then tap the microphone to dictate the corrections.

Here's a short list of voice commands we've found useful with both Siri and dictation:

• quote … end quote: to put quotations around a phrase say, "Quote," then say the phrase, and then say, "End Quote" to close the quotation.
• new paragraph: begins a new paragraph.
• new line: begins a new line of text.
• smiley:  inserts :-)
• frowny: inserts :-(
• winky:  inserts ;-)

These commands will help you go hands-free with your texts, notes, and more. Give these tips a shot and with practice, you'll have Siri or dictation doing the work for you in no time! Next, learn what to do if iOS 16 Dictation isn't working .

Siri Dictation Guide 2024

How to set up and use Siri dictation on an iPhone. Including a visual guide to the most popular Siri emoji, punctuation, formatting and symbol dictation commands.

Siri User Guide

Dictating is an easy and convenient alternative to a keyboard for entering text into many native and third-party apps on Apple devices. It can be used for sending messages , emails , taking notes , setting reminders , searching the web, and updating social media.

Siri can be used for dictation on the iPhone , iPad, and Mac computers, as well as on the HomePod and Apple Watch .

Here, we will explain how to set up and use dictation on an iPhone and provide a comprehensive list of the most commonly used dictation phrases.

How to enable dictation on your iPhone

Turn on dictation by opening Settings and tapping General > Keyboard > Enable Dictation . The switch should be toggled to the green On position.

Just below, there is an additional option to activate Auto-Punctuation . Once enabled, Siri will attempt to add punctuation such as commas, periods, and question marks to your dictated text where it deems appropriate. If you find the results inconsistent, you can easily turn it off here.

How to dictate text using Siri

You can begin dictation by tapping on the microphone icon or activating Siri.

Option 1: Tap on the microphone icon

Start dictation by selecting the microphone icon at the bottom right of the virtual keyboard when activated within an app. Based on your iOS version, this microphone button may also be visible in other locations, such as the text entry field of the Messages app.

A small microphone icon will appear when dictation is active, or the cursor will start pulsing.

Option 2: Activate Siri

Activate Siri on your iPhone by saying “Siri” or “Hey Siri” , or press and hold the home/side button.

How to speak when dictating

It's important to articulate your words clearly and avoid mumbling, as Siri performs best with well-pronounced speech. Speak in a natural language and at a moderate pace to allow Siri to process your words. Using short sentences can reduce the chance of errors and make it easier for Siri to process your commands. The more you use Siri, the more it adapts to your speech patterns and accent.

Include punctuation and formatting by saying what you want as you speak. For example:

Hi Jane comma new line I will be there soon exclamation point

Hi Jane, I will be there soon!

How to edit text when dictating

For those using iOS 16 or later, the ability to seamlessly switch between dictation and typing is available. If you're in the middle of dictating, tap on the screen next to the text to start typing instead. To resume dictation, start speaking; there’s no need to press the microphone button again. For users on iOS 15 or earlier versions, tapping the microphone icon is still required to continue dictation.

You can also make the cursor behave more like a computer trackpad. Press and hold the space bar, and the keyboard will be disabled. Then tap on the cursor and move it around the screen to your desired location. This is particularly useful if you have a lot of text to edit.

How to finish dictating

To finish your dictation, stop speaking. If there is a period of silence, Siri will stop automatically. Depending on the app you are using, you may have additional ways to stop dictation manually. For example, in Messages, you can:

• Tap on the small blue microphone icon hovering next to the cursor.
• Press and hold the cursor until a popover appears, then tap Stop .

How to correct dictation, spelling, and grammar

If Siri isn’t sure a word it heard is spelled correctly, a blue line will appear underneath it to prompt you to check it for accuracy.

Using iOS 16 and later

• To make a correction : Tap on the underlined word, then select the correct spelling.
• To replace a word : Double-tap it and say the new word.
• To replace a section : Select what you want to replace and speak the new words.
• To add more text : Tap where you want to add new text, then speak again.

Using iOS 15 and below

• To replace a word : Double-tap it, tap the microphone button, say it again, then tap the keyboard button to stop dictation.
• To replace a section : Select what you want to replace, tap the microphone button and speak again, then tap the keyboard button to stop dictation.
• To add more text : Tap where you want to add new text, tap the microphone button, speak again, and tap the keyboard button to stop dictation.

How to delete text using Siri dictation

Dictating using Siri doesn’t include a way to delete letters, words, or lines of text by default. However, from iOS 13 upwards, an accessibility setting called Voice Control can be turned on. This feature unlocks additional ways to interact with your iPhone, including deleting text while dictating.

How to turn on Voice Control

• Open Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control .
• If this is the first time you’ve enabled the feature, tap on Set Up Voice Control , read through the suggested uses in the pop-up sheet and press Done .
• Otherwise, toggle Voice Control On .

You can now use Voice Control phrases to delete text.

Delete previous character.

Delete word.

If you give a voice instruction Siri doesn’t understand, a notification containing suggested phrases will appear at the top of the screen.

Voice Control dictation and text editing tutorials

For those interested in learning more about Voice Control, Apple provides a helpful set of practical tutorials on your device. These include guides on dictation and text editing with step-by-step walkthroughs.

• Tap on Open Voice Control Guide and select a subject you want to learn more about.

How to change the dictation language

To switch the language for dictation on your iPhone, hold down the microphone button while the keyboard is visible, then slide your finger up to select the language you want to use. If no additional languages are available, select Dictation Settings, then tap on Keyboards to add further options.

Siri Dictation Commands List

If you’ve used any sort of voice recognition software before, many of these commands will be familiar.

From iOS 16 onwards, you can insert an emoji while dictating a text or composing a message. Just say “emoji” after the name of the symbol as you speak. Here are some examples.

Basic Formatting

Punctuation.

iOS 16 and later can insert automatic punctuation, like commas and periods, where it thinks you need it, based on how you speak. You can still add your own punctuation using the following commands.

Dictate currency and mathematical symbols.

Dictation in iOS 16 is so good you’ll want to use it every day–here’s how

You’ve been able to dictate text to your iPhone instead of typing for a very long time, and over the years it has occasionally gotten better. But with iOS 16 , the dictation features are taking a huge step forward in usability—so much so that you might actually start using it all the time. As long as you have an iPhone with an A12 Bionic chip or better (that’s an iPhone XS), you’ll be able to seamlessly talk and type or edit, which makes the entire dictation “workflow” a lot smoother. Automatic punctuation can add commas, periods, and question marks. And you can add emoji via voice, too.

Here’s how to make the most of these awesome new dictation features to speed up your typing.

Just tap the mic

You start using dictation the same way you would in earlier versions of iOS: just tap the microphone icon in the lower right corner of your keyboard. You’ll notice in Messages, the mic icon is right in the text entry field, replacing the old voice memo button.

Then, simply start talking. In nearly any text entry area other than Search fields, words will start appearing as you speak but the keyboard will remain on screen, with the microphone button highlighted.

While you’re speaking, you can switch to typing at any time, then just resume speaking to keep entering text that way. Alternate between typing and speaking freely–once you get the hang of it, it’s quite fast. You can double-tap words to select them, press and hold on the space bar to move around the cursor like a trackpad; all the usual text entry controls are always right there, you can just speak now in addition to tapping and swiping.

You’ll notice a small “stop dictating” microphone icon right next to the text cursor. Tap that, or the microphone icon at the bottom of the keyboard, to stop dictating. Dictation will also stop automatically if there’s a long stretch of silence.

Talking tips

Dictation works best if you annunciate clearly and speak at a regular pace. It’s a little different than speaking casually, but it’s worth the effort for the improved speed.

There are a host of commands you can give to format text or type special characters. While the new auto-punctuation feature (see below) will attempt to correctly insert commas, periods, and question marks, other punctuation can be added just by speaking. Here’s a list of some of the most useful formatting commands. Just speak them as you talk, such as “In iOS 16 comma dictation is incredibly useful exclamation point”.

You have been able to add a couple of different emojis in dictation for years, mostly just smiles and frowns, but iOS 16 greatly expands the number. You’ll have to experiment a little to find which descriptions correspond with the right emoji, but the key is to say “emoji” after it. If you want to type the word “shrug,” say “shrug.” But if you want to type 🤷‍♂️ then say “shrug emoji.”

Important settings

There are two important settings to know about for dictation. Open Settings > General > Keyboard and then scroll down to the Dictation section to find them. The first will turn off the dictation feature entirely. This is generally not necessary–Apple will sometimes send voice samples back to its servers to improve dictation quality, but the phrases are brief and anonymized, it’s not like there’s an open mic recording your every word. Simply not entering dictation mode is enough to keep it inactive.

The other toggle turns the auto-punctuation feature on or off. This is a new feature for iOS 16 and it attempts to insert commas, periods, and question marks intelligently by paying attention to your phrasing and tone of voice. It’s a little hit-and-miss in the iOS 16 beta, so if you find that whatever time this saves you is offset by all the corrections you make, just turn it off.

How to Convert Voice to Text on an iPhone: A Step-by-Step Guide

Converting voice to text on an iPhone is a simple process that involves using the built-in dictation feature. By tapping on the microphone icon on the keyboard, users can speak into their device and have their words automatically transcribed into text. This functionality is handy for sending quick messages or taking notes without typing.

After completing the action, the transcribed text will appear in the text field, ready for editing or sending. The iPhone will use its voice recognition software to convert your spoken words into written text accurately.

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced world, efficiency is key. Whether you’re a busy professional trying to stay on top of emails or a student taking notes in class, sometimes typing out everything just isn’t feasible. That’s where voice-to-text technology comes in, and for iPhone users, it’s built right into the device. Converting voice to text on an iPhone can save you time, reduce the strain of typing on a small keyboard, and even help capture thoughts when you’re on the go.

This feature is particularly relevant for those who have disabilities that make typing difficult or impossible. For others, it’s a matter of convenience and speed. Regardless of why you might use it, knowing how to convert voice to text on your iPhone is a useful skill that can improve your productivity and communication.

Step by Step Tutorial on How to Convert Voice to Text on an iPhone

Before we dive into the steps, let’s understand what we’re aiming for here. By following these steps, you will enable your iPhone to take your spoken words and turn them into written text in any text field that brings up the keyboard.

Step 1: Enable Dictation

Go to your iPhone’s Settings, tap General, tap Keyboard, and then toggle on the switch for Enable Dictation.

Dictation is a feature that needs to be turned on before you can use it. It uses Apple’s servers to process your voice and convert it to text. Ensure you’re connected to the internet when you’re using dictation for the best results.

Step 2: Use the Microphone Icon

When you’re ready to speak, tap the microphone icon on the keyboard.

The microphone icon is usually located to the left of the spacebar on your iPhone’s keyboard. Tapping it will signal to your iPhone that you’re about to dictate text.

Step 3: Speak Clearly into the Microphone

Begin speaking clearly and at a moderate pace. Your iPhone will start transcribing your words into text.

Remember to enunciate your words clearly and avoid speaking too quickly. This helps the voice recognition software accurately transcribe your speech.

Step 4: Review and Edit the Transcribed Text

After you finish speaking, tap the keyboard icon to return to typing mode and review your transcribed text. Make any necessary edits.

The dictation feature is pretty accurate, but it’s not perfect. Always review the text to ensure there are no errors before sending or saving it.

Additional Information

Using voice-to-text on an iPhone can be a game-changer for many users, but there are a few tips to keep in mind for the best experience. For one, be aware of your surroundings. If you’re in a noisy environment, the iPhone may have trouble picking up your voice accurately. Also, consider the privacy of your conversations – speaking aloud may not be the best option in public spaces.

Another useful tip is to learn the commands for adding punctuation or special formatting. For example, saying “comma” or “period” while dictating will add the respective punctuation marks. This can save time during the editing process. Additionally, you can add a new line by saying “new line” or “next line.”

Lastly, remember that while converting voice to text on your iPhone is convenient, it’s not always the most appropriate method for every situation. Consider the context and choose the best tool for the job.

• Enable Dictation in Settings
• Use the Microphone Icon on the Keyboard
• Speak Clearly into the Microphone
• Review and Edit the Transcribed Text

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the microphone icon is not showing on my keyboard.

Make sure Dictation is enabled in your settings. If it is and you still don’t see the microphone, try restarting your iPhone.

Can I use voice-to-text with third-party apps?

Yes, most apps that utilize the iPhone’s keyboard will allow you to use the dictation feature.

How much data does voice-to-text use?

The data usage is minimal, but it’s best to use the feature while connected to Wi-Fi if you have a limited data plan.

Can I dictate in other languages?

Yes, the iPhone supports dictation in multiple languages. You may need to add the language in your keyboard settings first.

Is there a time limit to how long I can dictate?

There is a short pause limit, so if you stop speaking for a while, it may end the dictation session. However, you can tap the microphone icon again to continue.

Converting voice to text on an iPhone is a powerful tool that can significantly enhance your productivity and communication. Whether you’re a professional, student, or someone with typing difficulties, mastering this feature can make life a little easier. Remember to speak clearly, be mindful of background noise, and always review your text for errors. With practice, you’ll be dictating like a pro in no time. So why not give it a try and see how it can benefit you?
