How to Set up Dictation on your iPhone

How to use Dictation

  1. Open any app where you can type (e.g. Messages, Notes, Mail)

  2. Tap into a text field to bring up the keyboard

  3. Tap the microphone icon on the keyboard

  4. Start speaking — your words will appear on the screen

  5. Tap the microphone again when you’re finished
















Helpful Tips

 

  • Dictation does not just allow you to use your voice to write text messages, but also edit them. Use simple voice commands such as ''delete'', ''select'' or ''undo'' to make fast changes

  • To add emjoi's into your text, simply say ''emjoi'' followed by the description

  • Pause instead of saying “um” or “huh,” as this helps keep your message clear and reduces errors
