Getting started
- Install the Mac or Windows app, sign in, and allow microphone access.
- Place the cursor in the intended field; hold your dictation shortcut and speak.
- Release the key and check inserted names and punctuation.
Decision points
- Choose it when you need text in the app where you are writing rather than a meeting transcript.
- If offline dictation is essential, compare an option with on-device models.
Limits
- Transcription requires internet; retry from history when a failed recording is available.
- Word allowances depend on the account and plan; correct proper names before sending.
Frequently asked questions
Can I dictate directly from the product website?
This entry covers the Mac and Windows app; the website is an installation page, not a browser dictation variant.
Does the text appear word by word as I speak?
On desktop, the completed text is inserted after you stop speaking.
