Dictate instead of typing
Say a message out loud and have the device write it down.
The microphone on the keyboard turns speech into writing. Press it, talk at your ordinary pace, and the words appear.
Punctuation is spoken too. Say “comma” or “period” where you want one.
Key points
- The microphone on the keyboard writes down what you say
- Speak the punctuation, and read it back before sending
What to remember
- Nothing is sent by speaking. The words wait for you.
- Dictated words are ordinary words. Mend them the ordinary way.
Try this
Open a note on your own device, press the microphone, and say one sentence with the word period at the end.
