  • Apple dictation

    From Peter James@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 8 13:58:37 2022
    Does anyone on this NG use the Apple dictation facility in OS?

    I try to use it but I find the commands as shown in the Apple help sheet to be less than useful. Half of them don't work all of the time, and some of them work some of the time.

    Maybe, I thought, it's just me! Anyone with any experience of this?

    Nothing useful to add personally, but Adam Engst did what looks like a useful article on Apple dictation a couple of years ago:
