Whereas the Windows Speech Recognition feature is extremely powerful and can feel more like an accessibility tool than something intended for the masses, the Mac Voice Dictation feature is more streamlined and simplified.

Say all caps and say a word - the next word you speak will appear in ALL CAPS.The words you spoke will appear in ALL CAPS. Say all caps on, say something, and then say all caps off.The words you spoke will appear in Title Case. Say caps on, say something, and say caps off.For example, if you say “good day sir,” your words would appear as “gooddaysir”. Say no space on, say something, and then say no space off.For example, if you say “eight,” it will appear as 8 or VIII. Say numeral or roman numeral and speak a number.You also have control over formatting and spacing: Line spacing: new line, new paragraph, tab key.Math: Equals sign (=), greater than sign (>), less than sign (Intellectual property: Copyright sign (©), registered sign (®), trademark sign (™).Emoticons: Cross-eyed laughing face (XD), frowny face (:-(), smiley face (:-)), winky face ( -)).Currency: Dollar sign ($), cent sign (¢), pound sterling sign (£), euro sign (€), yen sign(¥).), degree sign (°), hashtag or pound sign(#), percent sign (%), underscore (_), vertical bar (|).Typography: Ampersand (&), asterisk (*), at sign backslash (\), forward slash (/), caret (^), center dot (.


Like on other operating systems, Voice Dictation won’t automatically fill in the appropriate punctuation marks as you speak a sentence normally.
