Punctuation on dictation

Hello

I am new to the use of dictation (have a frozen shoulder and cannot type). My question is - how can I activate dictation punctuation? Or what I need to enter using the keyboard?

You can use dication to puncuation, see here: orders of dictation, you can use OS x - Apple support

and OS X Yosemite: use dictation commands to tell your Mac what to do - Apple Support

For the most part, you can just enter the name of the puntuation. Ex: I went to the store (period) and a '. ' would be inserted. -AJ

  • Problems of dictation increased capitalization

    This problem has been posted before, but I have not found a satisfactory answer.

    1. the capitals make their appearance after the punctuation that does not define the end of a sentence, such as commas and semi-colons.

    (2) where a word or phrase is underlined, offering alternative versions, although the original text does not contain a capital, some or all alternative proposals are proposed will start with a capital.

    I'm on El Capitan 10.11.6 (G 15, 31). I use increased dictation because I find a regular dictation shuts off if often it is hardly worth using. So please do not suggest I turn off increased dictation

    See you soon,.

  • Mac os Sierra, Dictation and speech pain missing from system preferences

    Hi, it's Stephen. I've upgraded to mac os Sierra, and now, for some reason, Dictation and speech is missing in system preferences. It is preferably pain that I use to activate enhanced dictation, which is a feature that allows the use of dictation, even in offline mode. I reported the problem/bug to apple and I called him support Apple Care technical on this subject yesterday. Can someone tell me why Apple took dictation and the word of the preferences system Mac os Sierra? Or was it just an accident? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

  • By dictating the long notes, using Siri, Siri will stop as soon as I take a little break. Therefore, the note ends abruptly. Any solution for this?

    By dictating the long notes on Mac using Siri, Siri will stop as soon as I take a little break. Therefore, the note ends abruptly. Any solution for this?

    For long notes, you are better to use regular old dictation - under Mac OS for a few years now, Siri is not mandatory.

    To activate it, go to "System Preferences"-> keyboard-> dictation. Once enabled, you can press the "Fn" key twice to activate and dictate the long notes in any application.

    Siri is optimized for short, quick things. I don't think that you can change, you just use the method that is better to listen to what you want to do at the time (short notes, using Siri. Long notes, use dictation).

  • Dictation accessibility in Mavericks secondary Board

    I turned in Mavericks dictation (10.9.5). Everything went well: increased dictation has been downloaded and it works. When I go to accessibility in system preferences, in order to work with orders of dictation, however, there is no secondary on the left at the dictation. Who should have appeared automatically, or do I have to download this subgroup of experts separately?

  • text message dictation

    Press and hold the side button and slide the slider "Switch off" to the right. Then, hold the side button for a few seconds to turn it back on.

  • Why Enhanced dictation has stopped working?

    A few days ago when I turned my computer back on, I found that Enhanced dictation no longer worked for all applications in which I usually dictates.  This continues and I can dictate more in my own user account (dictation Enhanced still works for other user accounts).  When I upgraded the active dictation now, the icon shows microphone he hears what I'm saying but none talked about the command have obeyed and no text is displayed in my active application.  If I turn off Enhanced, dictation works but I don't see the usefulness of the dictation without access to voice commands and the delays inherent in sending dictation text for Apple and he expects to return in the form of text.  What could have happened?

    This happened at the time where I was using OS X Yosemite and I never managed to get dictation improved until OS X El Capitan is out.  Now, it happened with OS X El Capitan thus.

  • The dictation feature has stopped working with apple applications

I did so that Siri is turned on and the microphone of keyboard is also. I also powered power and I did soft reboots. It does appear that effect the apple applications. Function of dictation with other applications like google work very well (thus, the microphone does not work).

    Are there suggestions more to get the dictation function to work with apple applications?

    Try checking the following parameters:

    • Settings > general > keyboard - make sure activate dictated is open.
    • Settings > general > Restrictions - check that the restriction of Siri & dictation is not enabled
    • Settings > general > Siri - disable, pause for a few moments, and then reactivate the Siri.
  • Apple and dictation whole numbers using

    This is not possible, but it is good to ask. Is it possible to use the numbers and dictation together? In other words, I would like to be able to fill the cells in number of dictation.

    I tried dictation in number, with the help of general explanation in This Apple Support Document.

    It worked when I double-clicked in a cell, first get the blinking cursor there.  Then, I hit twice the function key (the keyboard shortcut by default, which can be changed).

    To enter numbers rather than words, the prefix "$" dictation for example to enter 123 we dictate "figure 123".
