Readable Toolbar for Mac
Voice control and speech dictation
The Mac does include accurate built in, offline, powerful voice control and speech dictation. You can launch the settings for voice control with speech dictation from the Readable Toolbar. You can also quickly activate speech dictation only directly from the keyboard (Function Key and F5 key). The settings for dictation only sit within the MacOS Keyboard Settings (shown below also)
After you turn on Voice Control on your Mac , you can speak commands to navigate the desktop and apps, interact with what’s on the screen, dictate and edit text, and more. Note: When Voice Control is on, you use Voice Control to dictate text; standard macOS Dictation isn’t available.
