When you’re working in a text input area—for example, writing a document, email, or message—you can easily switch between Dictation mode and Command mode as needed. In Dictation mode (the default), any words you say that aren’t Voice Control commands are entered as text. In Command mode, those words are ignored and aren’t entered as text; Voice Control responds only to commands. Command mode is especially helpful when you need to use a series of commands and want to prevent what you say from inadvertently being entered in a text input area.
To switch to Command mode, say “Command mode.” When Command mode is on, a dark icon of a crossed-out character appears in the text input area to indicate you can’t dictate. To switch back to Dictation mode, say “Dictation mode.”
