Apple Dictation is a built-in macOS feature that lets users speak to enter text anywhere they can type. Once Dictation is enabled, it can be started with the Microphone key, a customizable keyboard shortcut, or Start Dictation, then stopped with Escape, the same shortcut, or the Microphone key. On Apple silicon Macs, users can continue typing while they dictate, and Dictation resumes listening after keyboard input stops. Spoken commands can insert emoji, punctuation, new lines, and new paragraphs, while supported languages can automatically add commas, periods, and question marks. Dictation supports text of any length and stops automatically after 30 seconds without detected speech. When macOS is uncertain about a word, it underlines the text so users can choose an alternative or correct it manually. Multiple Dictation languages can be enabled and switched while speaking, and users can select a preferred microphone or let macOS choose automatically.

DictaFlow is an AI dictation app for Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android via Telegram that turns messy speech into clean text wherever the cursor is. Hold a keyboard shortcut, mouse button, or VDI-safe trigger, speak naturally, and release to insert text directly into email, documents, IDEs, EHRs, browsers, terminals, notes, and remote desktops. It is built for the messy parts of dictation, including names, acronyms, code terms, drug names, clinical shorthand, contract language, accents, and more than 100 languages. DictaFlow understands mid-sentence corrections such as “actually” and “I mean,” so users can fix mistakes without breaking rhythm, and AI cleanup can turn rough speech into emails, bullets, code comments, meeting notes, prompts, or formatted text as they talk. Users can also highlight existing text in apps such as Word, Slack, or VS Code and edit it by voice.
