To make life a little easier, I’ve made you a PDF of these commands that you can download here or below - just click on the image to get to it. You should work through them and remember the ones you need as it will make dictation on your iOS devices way more effective, despite the lamentable lack of Delete. What commands can I use when I dictate on iPhone, iPad?Īpple has managed to put a huge collection of commands you can use when dictating on your device. Go to the Speech control panel in the System section. I’m urging readers to contact Apple to tell the company to add a Delete function to iOS. Click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of your desktop and choose System Preferences. We understand you would rather have the option to delete using dictation commands, and recommend using the previously shared link to leave feedback about this feature. You can see how to replace words using the steps here: Use Dictation on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. I can’t believe these 64-bit pocket computers lack the power to achieve this, so must only put this missing feature down to Apple not caring about dictation enough. As mentioned, you can replace words but not delete them. How about a phrase like ‘Edit mode: Delete the last three words’, for example? Surely Apple could develop a way to tell your device to delete the last word, character or even parghraph. For example, if you want to replace text that was parsed incorrectly, this Apple support note recommends you "double-tap it, tap the microphone button, then say it again, and tap the keyboard button." That's not exactly a hands-free solution, and it's annoying because the new corrected text often begins with a capital letter.That means if you say something stupid, make a mistake, garble a word and it gets picked up wrong, or any of the other common things that happen to people dictating messages a million times every day you need to delete the entire message and start again, or you’ll need to edit what you have written manually. But out of the box, iPhone dictation has its limits. This is most often initiated by tapping the little microphone on the onscreen keyboard that shows up whenever you're entering text on the iPhone. Voice dictation is another voice input mode. As ZDNet's Adrian Kingsley-Hughes shows, Siri can't click the shutter button on the iPhone camera, but a Shortcut can. iPhones with Siri became more capable when iOS 13 added Shortcuts.
Siri, of course, is almost always there as well.
If you have one, it's probably similar for you. Nothing (with the possible exception of my Apple Watch), and no one, spends more time with me than my iPhone. Click the icon to begin dictating, click again to stop or pause. When the microphone icon appears, you can drag to move it anywhere you like. You can find iPhone models directly from Apple starting from $399. With your computer’s internal microphone, or with a USB microphone in hand, you can dictate your document in Word on both Windows and Mac.
