Tips
Punctuation
Punctuation is applied automatically based on the words and pauses in your speech.
Autocorrection and Editing
To correct a misheard phrase or word, or to rephase something, simply say it again and Speak! will automatically find it in the recently dictated text and replace it, adjusting the surrounding text if necessary.
You can use this also to insert a missing punctuation mark. For example, saying "force comma" will insert a comma after the nearest word force.
Some common speech lapses and errors are fixed automatically.
Inserted phrases are intelligently joined with the surrounding text, adjusting for punctuation, capitalization and repeated words.
Language switching
Say in language name, i.g., in French.
