Great tutorial, Gary. The dictation feature in iOS seems to turn the first character of a sentence to lowercase unless you turn on auto-capitalization, a feature I did not get in the habit of using. Is this a feature or a bug? Is there a way around this to avoid using auto-capitalization? Thanks
Razvan: Not sure what it is you are trying to do. Why not use auto-capitalization if that is what you want to do?
What I am trying to do is to use the dictation feature without auto-capitalization.
In this scenario, when you start dictating a new sentence, the system shows the first letter of the first word in capital letters only to convert it to lowercase when you insert the full stop manually or dictate it.
Do you have your auto-cap on? It seems this is the only way to have dictation working.
Razvan: Sorry. I'm not following you. You have two choices: "Capitalize words automatically" on or off. Pick which one works best for you.
Great presentation, as usual, however I can't find Spelling Mode in Voice Control commands. Am running Ventura.
Simon: Is your Mac set to U.S. English? That's a requirement right now.
No - U.K. That would explain it. Separated by a common language. Many thanks, Gary.
