Talk, and your computer types
Speak to your phone and the words appear on your computer — in any app.
Dictation turns your voice into typing on the computer, wherever your cursor is — documents, chats, search boxes, anything.
What you can do
Works in any app
If you can type there, you can talk there.
Understood on your phone
Your phone turns speech into words; only the words reach the computer.
Fix things as you go
Handy keys to move around and delete, without switching screens.
How to start
- Connect your phone.
- Open Dictate, allow the microphone, and start talking.
