The following requires iOS 13.3 on your device. Earlier versions not not support offline dictation !
To setup offline dictation please open the 'Settings' App and navigate to 'General -> Keyboard'. Then switch on 'Enable Dictation'.
By Joe Hutsko, Barbara Boyd. If you long for a secretary who takes dictation, your days of waiting are over. Follow the first set of steps to set up the dictation part of the Dictation & Speech preferences, and then read on to learn how your Mac can read text to you or alert you when something occurs, such as when you try to quit an application without saving a document.
Dictation is a free online speech recognition software that will help you write emails, documents and essays using your voice narration and without typing. Type with your Voice in any language Use the magic of speech recognition to write emails and documents in Google Chrome.
Dictation.app's speech to text recognition capabilities are far superior to Siri. How can I transfer my notes from iPhone to PC or Mac? You can share your notes directly from iOS device to PC or Mac via the built in share sheet using Email, Message or Notes.
Your device will then load offline dictation files from Apple. This process can take a long time. It takes place in the background and requires a good WIFI connection. Unfortunately there is no feedback from Apple when the process is completed or if it is still running. It is a little bit clunky and requires to tweak around with it. Sometimes on the next day it may work magically.
You can also configure more than one language for offline support. This requires you to enable the corresponding keyboard above. If you have configured only one keyboard language the 'Dictation languages' sub menu will not be presented. https://europeanever690.weebly.com/blog/mac-stock-price-app.
If you have more than one language configured you need to open the sub menu 'Dictation languages' and enable the languages there.
You can test offline support by opening a keyboard (e.g. using Notes App). 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. Of course you need to be offline for this test !!!
when I use 'Notes' in my Macbooks and Ipad I can activate the dictation (Microphone input) and the divice will use the internal microphone and convert the recording to text through Apple. When the device sends the recorded data the microphone shuts down until the recorded dictation has gone to Apple via internet connection and then the text appears in 'Notes' and I have to reactivate the dictation microphone. Is there any way to keep the microphone recording so I don't lose the conversation or conference without any interuption?
