speech to text software free download for mac

Please note that when you delete Dictate from your device your texts are also lost. Text zones B and C always store your text locally on your device. If you don't have more than one device you can safely switch iCloud Sync off. Otherwise it will throw errors each time you try to dictate new text. To use this feature you need to be logged in into your iCloud account and you need to have given permission for Dictate to access it. If it shows an 'A' it does not synchronize to iCloud, if it shows a recycle icon it stores your text in a private container in your iCloud. Text zone A is a special syncronisation text zone. For details please see the 'Setup Screen' section below. You can think of each text zone as a separate 'file'.Įach text zone can be assigned a different language, so that you can switch the dictation language with one click. Each text zone will store and recover its text when you switch it. There are 3 text zones which can be used to work on different projects at the same time. Using this selector you can switch your text zones. Of course you need to be offline for this test !!! If on the left side of the space bar there is a little microphone you can long-press it to see wether or what languages are available. You can test offline support by opening a keyboard (e.g. If you have more than one language configured you need to open the sub menu 'Dictation languages' and enable the languages there. If you have configured only one keyboard language the 'Dictation languages' sub menu will not be presented. This requires you to enable the corresponding keyboard above. You can also configure more than one language for offline support. Please wait until a text occurs below the indicting that the language is available offline (see screenshot on the left). Sometimes on the next day it may work magically. It is a little bit clunky and requires to tweak around with it. Unfortunately there is no feedback from Apple when the process is completed or if it is still running. It takes place in the background and requires a good WIFI connection. Your device will then load offline dictation files from Apple. To setup offline dictation please open the 'Settings' App and navigate to 'General -> Keyboard'. Earlier versions not not support offline dictation ! The following requires iOS 13.3 on your device.
