Note that you can set all 3 text zones to the same language. 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 ! 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.The following requires iOS 13.3 on your device. 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. I’m urging readers to contact Apple to tell the company to add a Delete function to iOS.
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. 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. 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.
