There are two microphones at the bottom of the iPhone, and a single microphone on iPads, located at the top of the device. Speak into the tiny hole at the top of your tablet. The iPhone also has a noise-canceling mic, which filters out background noises.
You might find that the Apple earbuds that come with an iPhone—which have an inline mic—offer better speech recognition, as do third-party headphones with mics, as long as you hold them fairly close to your mouth.
Dictate when connected to Wi-Fi: Dictation to an iOS device requires that your voice be sent to a server, where it is recognized and transcribed, and then sent back to your iOS device.
Here are a few tips to make dictation more efficient. To make a correction , tap on the underlined word, then select the correct spelling. 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, then 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, then speak again, then tap the keyboard button to stop dictation. Toggle to On. How to change the dictation language To change the language that dictation uses on your iPhone, press and hold the microphone button when the keyboard is showing, then slide your finger up to select the language you want to use.
Siri Dictation Commands List When dictating, you can include punctuation and formatting by saying what you want as you speak. Command Action "Period" or "full stop" Place a ". Comma , Double comma ,, "Quote" or "quotation mark" " "Quote This allows dictation to be incorporated into automation flows, or just be customized to launch in a particular language, etc.
This is an advanced topic and if you have questions about how to incorporate dictation in automation, please ask on the community forums. The availability of dictation is subject to the same limitations as standard system Siri dictation and may not be available at all times.
Newer devices support offline dictation in some languages, but not all. Often a network is required to dictate. Editor Dictation Dictation In addition to supporting standard Siri dictation using the microphone icon on the iOS keyboard or using standard system dictation on macOS, Drafts has a custom dictation interface which enables additional features, including: Easier access: Dictation can be triggered in more different ways details below.
Extended dictation time: Dictate longer segments of text, subject to some system limitation. Use the Home Screen Widget: The Drafts Widget offers a command that launches the app directly to dictation of a new draft. So when you're done dictating, you have to proofread the text and correct anything that's underlined. That process also helps Siri learn your speech pattern, and recognition of your way of talking improves over time.
Occasionally Siri may type some silly things by misunderstanding what I said. For example, once when I was posting in a forum, and I wanted to praise someone for something she had said, I spoke:. Siri usually gets the spelling right since she seems to know what word is meant by the overall context.
But not always. As you can see, we need to double-check everything by reading it back. Checking Siri's typing for errors is as important as checking our own typing. The problem is that sometimes when I read what Siri typed, it is such a jumble of what I said that I couldn't always remember what I originally was thinking when I said it! Keywords that happen to be commands can confuse the issue and create some very silly transcriptions. I call that Command Confusion. For example, when I want to use the word "period" in a sentence rather than placing a period at the end of the sentence, I need to say "period" twice, as I mentioned earlier.
Siri will recognize that as meaning that I want the word "period. As I mentioned, saying "new paragraph" will make Siri skip two lines. If you say "new line," then it will only space down once.
There is no consistency with which commands can be double spoken. Saying "new paragraph" twice will make Siri leave two blank lines instead of typing "new paragraph" in the text. But saying "period" twice will make Siri type the word "period" in the text. If you're wondering if I had any trouble with the last paragraph, trying to get Siri to type things that are commands, you bet I did. I had to do a lot of editing on the keyboard to get all that correctly typed.
With all this nonsense going on that we need to think about while we're dictating, it distracts us from the original thought we were trying to express. Nevertheless, when you have some thoughts that you want to get into written form quickly, it's a useful tool to use.
I will continue to use it—at least for writing short notes and short replies to emails. I'll leave writing long articles to my fingers and the keyboard. Recording your speech with a tape recorder or MP3 dictation tool is almost the same as speaking to another person because you can keep talking as your thoughts come to your head. You would trust the transcriber to resolve hard-to-understand sentences intelligently.
But when you're using speech recognition, you have to stop every few sentences for it to catch up—that kind of breaks the train of thought. Technology continues to advance and provide new tools that we can use to accomplish more tasks in less time. Dictation can be a useful tool for writers and anybody that needs to fill out forms with data. The possibilities are endless but include complexities one needs to deal with to achieve the most favorable results.
The virtual keyboard appears whenever you are in a text field in an app that requires typing something. Remember that you press the mic button on the keyboard to dictate.
Question: Can you correct the errors made during dictation without using a keyboard? Answer: You can't fix it with voice commands. However, Siri highlights text that might not have been transcribed correctly.
You need to use the keyboard after finishing your dictation to correct any of the highlighted text that came out wrong or any other errors you find.
