However, he says that other longstanding issues with Voice Control and dictation still need to be resolved. Hughes says that Voice Control is a great application, and it’s to the company’s immense credit that the tech is bundled in free with every Mac, iPad, or iPhone. I have called for this functionality since Voice Control was launched three years ago and most recently last August 2021. In macOS 12.3 you can now import or export Vocabulary and Custom Commands in Accessibility on Mac from a new drop-down menu visible as soon as you open Voice Control.īecause Voice Control and everything you dictate stays on device, and not in the cloud, these new features will be helpful in transferring custom vocabulary and commands built up over time to a new Mac. However, this poses an issue when you replace your Mac, as there was previously no way to transfer your custom commands and vocabulary. Both features are crucially important to those who don’t have full use of their arms.Ī huge benefit of both Voice Control and dictation on Apple devices is that it works offline. Additionally, text can be dictated rather than typed. This works on any Mac that supports enhanced dictation, regardless of the system software version in use or whether or not it’s labeled as Mac OS X or macOS.Colin Hughes, a quadriplegic Apple user who often shares his experience of accessibility features on Apple devices, has reported that Apple has quietly added a valuable new Mac Voice Control feature.Īlthough it isn’t shown in the release notes, it appears to have been added in macOS Monterey 12.3 …Īs the name suggests, Voice Control is designed to allow people to control their Mac using voice commands, rather than a mouse or trackpad.
If you want the full experience and full clarity for the various dictation commands, you should use the enhanced dictation feature. To be clear, you can disable enhanced dictation and still use the Dictation feature, but it won’t work offline and it won’t necessarily be as accurate. Choose Go and delete the folder “enUS.SpeechRecognition” (it may be prefixed by enAU, enUK, etc).System/Library/Speech/Recognizers/SpeechRecognitionCoreLanguages/ From the Finder on the Mac, hit Command+Shift+G and enter the following path:.Toggle “Use Enhanced Dictation” to be OFF by unchecking the box.Go to System Preferences and to “Keyboard” and then to the “Dictation” tab.Deleting the Downloaded Enhanced Dictation Pack from Mac OS Thus, you’d only want to perform this task if you enabled the feature and don’t need it, or if you no longer use the enhanced ability. Obviously if you do this, you will lose the ability to have enhanced dictation unless you re-download the pack from Apple again. This is a two part sequence, first you need to disable Enhanced Dictation, and then remove the recognition pack.
We’ll show you how to remove the Enhanced Dictation voice recognition pack and reclaim the 1.2GB of disk space from a Mac.
