Day four of learning voice controlIn my adventures today in voice control, it saw me using my newer Apple MacBook to command and control the Mac interface and to do dictation.If you have read any of the earlier blogs that I've written on this matter, you'll know that I have found some difficulty in making my older MacBook Pro hear the commands that I'm using for voice control.However, today was very different. Although the glitchiness still remained from time to time, there was an overall massive improvement in the MacBook hearing me and then undertaking the voice control command that I had issued.I even went as far as sending a text message from the Mac, opening the iMessages application, navigating to a new text message field, filling in the name of the person who I wished to text and then using the 'next field' command, filling in the message and pressing send.I also discovered today that both on iOS machines and on the Macs themselves, it's possible to use Siri to turn on voice control. To do this, you simply initiate the assistant, and then ask it to turn on or turn off voice control. You get a response confirming that the action has been undertaken and then you will see the little microphone icon appear or disappear depending on the command that you have issued.Tapping the 'Fn' key twice on my Macs brings up the dictation only aspect of voice control. I must say the accuracy and speed of this app is generally excellent. If you are used to dictating using Siri on your iOS devices, do give this a test for dictating longer pieces on your Mac.I'm still struggling a little bit with editing and using voice control. And I intend tomorrow, to focus on this and see if I can find a way to get it working satisfactorily for me. I think I'll use my MacBook as it's a more modern machine and hopefully this will be an improvement. Simple things, such as selecting words and deleting them seem to work fine but there are occasions where the application will simply either not hear what I'm saying or even if I repeat the word more clearly then it still types the incorrect word.So I shall report back tomorrow on my adventures in editing with voice control!Brian,13 November 2019
