Hi Anne,

May I ask the earliest edition of os x for which dictation commands are included?
thanks,
Kare

Hello Wayne,

There are lots of dictation commands on the Mac. First, make sure that you have 
selected Use Enhanced Dictation in the Dictation & Speech pane of System 
preferences. Then go to the Accessibility pane and select Dictation in the 
Accessibility features table. Now click the Dictation Commands… button and you’ll 
find a table containing a long list of commands.
You can also assign your own commands to specific key combinations. I’ve found 
that selecting an application to which these should apply doesn’t seem to work. 
But selecting all applications does. So if you choose to add a command for 
Cmd-Shift-d, it will work for sending an e-mail and for opening the Desktop 
folder.

Cheers,

Anne

All,
Are there any dictation commands on the mac? I haven't used Siri on my
iPhone 6 so far, mainly because I tend to talk softer and it can be
hard for Siri to understand what I am trying to say. I have tried
dictating to the Mac and there is no issue so far with it
understanding what I say. So are there any Siri like commands for the
Mac's dictation program? For instance, how would I dictate an email
address, to put it in the To field of Mail or another web-based email
message.

Thanks,
Wayne
