Click Dictation & Speech, which you’ll find in the middle of System Preferences’ fourth row.You can enable this feature, which supports over 30 languages and many more dialects, using the Dictation & Speech preference in System Preferences.Īpple’s speech to text features are turned off by default, so before you can use this feature you need to turn it on. You may think you have to wait for Siri to appear in macOS Sierra before you can talk to your Mac, but your Mac already has a way to listen to everything you say and to turn what it hears into text.
