Hello Kare,
Dictation has been available for quite some time, but enhanced dictation came
in with Mavericks. However, I don’t think it was nearly as powerful as it is
now.
I had no reason to look closely at dictation until a couple of weeks ago when a
student of mine was unable to use the keyboard effectively and I had to find a
solution for him. He was used to using the iPhone, so we worked out that a
combination of dictation and the trackpad commander with just the occasional
simple keyboard command would work for him.
Cheers,
Anne

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
