Use dictation to enter text in Pages on Mac
Place the insertion point where you want to begin dictating, or select the text you want to replace (to select placeholder text, click it).
Choose Edit > Start Dictation (from the Edit menu at the top of your screen).
If you haven’t used dictation before, follow the guided setup instructions that appear.
When dictation is set up, you can also change the shortcut key or change the language. To change your dictation settings, do one of the following:
macOS Ventura 13 or later: Choose Apple menu
> System Settings > Keyboard, then change the desired settings.macOS 12 or earlier: Choose Apple menu
> System Preferences > Keyboard > Dictation, then change the desired settings.
When the microphone appears, begin speaking.
To add punctuation, speak its name (for example, comma or apostrophe).
Click Done below the microphone when you’re finished.
To learn more about using dictation, click the desktop to switch to the Finder, choose Help > macOS Help (from the Help menu at the top of your screen), then search for “dictation.”
