No space is inputted after the last dictated word so dictated text appears as…”the quick brown fox jumped over the fence👍“ It’s a similar situation with dictating emoji. You can say “space key” to insert a space before saying “open quotes,” but this is extra breath and energy that some physically disabled people might not have and shouldn’t be necessary. It does in other speech recognition apps. This should happen automatically when dictating. When dictating the command “open quotes,” a space isn’t automatically inputted after the last word dictated so dictated text appears like this: the quick brown fox” jumped over the fence.” It’s incorrect formatting with the quotation mark hard butted to the last word dictated and requires going back and editing and inserting a space after the last word dictated (fox) and the open quote mark immediately before jumped. It happens with other words too, which slows you down as you continuously have to clear up dictation errors Misquoting It’s intermittent but happens especially if you pause dictation. Voice Control doesn’t always take into account the grammar of many sentences, e.g., dictating the word “will” often leads, incorrectly, to capitalization of “Will” as in the man’s name. He has listed no fewer than 14 different problems. However, he says that other longstanding issues with Voice Control and dictation still need to be resolved. Hughes says that Voice Control is a great application, and it’s to the company’s immense credit that the tech is bundled in free with every Mac, iPad, or iPhone. I have called for this functionality since Voice Control was launched three years ago and most recently last August 2021. In macOS 12.3 you can now import or export Vocabulary and Custom Commands in Accessibility on Mac from a new drop-down menu visible as soon as you open Voice Control.īecause Voice Control and everything you dictate stays on device, and not in the cloud, these new features will be helpful in transferring custom vocabulary and commands built up over time to a new Mac. However, this poses an issue when you replace your Mac, as there was previously no way to transfer your custom commands and vocabulary. Both features are crucially important to those who don’t have full use of their arms.Ī huge benefit of both Voice Control and dictation on Apple devices is that it works offline. Additionally, text can be dictated rather than typed. Colin Hughes, a quadriplegic Apple user who often shares his experience of accessibility features on Apple devices, has reported that Apple has quietly added a valuable new Mac Voice Control feature.Īlthough it isn’t shown in the release notes, it appears to have been added in macOS Monterey 12.3 …Īs the name suggests, Voice Control is designed to allow people to control their Mac using voice commands, rather than a mouse or trackpad.
