Apple is interested in saving the user's time and effort. This is not a personal opinion, but this is what we see in Apple's development of its operating systems and the features it offers you. In this article, we will share with you the much improved voice dictation feature With the release of iOS 17How can you convert speech to text on iPhone.
What is the voice dictation feature on the iPhone?
- If you have iOS 16 or iPadOS 16 or later, this will be enough to give your phone voice commands to automatically convert to written text.
- You do not need to speak a specific language to use the voice dictation feature, as this feature supports the keyboard language.
- When you press the microphone, the system will interpret your words, converting them into text.
- Additionally, you will be able to edit or format any words you find incorrect, as well as replace them with other suggestions.
Add appropriate automatic punctuation to the text
One of the things that impressed me personally is the ability to add punctuation marks to your speech, as you will feel that this feature is not just hearing you speaking and writing it down. But the dictation feature understands the context of the conversation, and through that it places the appropriate punctuation marks for this conversation, such as commas or periods, for example, after the end of your words and the beginning of new sentences.
Express your feelings through your speech
As you speak, Voice Dictation can add emoticons through your speech. Meaning that your use of this feature is not limited to writing official texts only, but you can use it to communicate with friends or to write notes, etc. Just every “smiley face”
What phones support voice dictation?
All phones that support the A12 processor Bionic or later can take advantage of this feature. In other words, phones like the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone X MAX, or later.

99.9% I use it to write and I have not used my hands since the days of iOS 8.3 when it became Arabic, but faces in Arabic do not work.
Hello Ali Hussein Al-Marfadi 🙋♂️, it seems like you have been enjoying audio typing for a long time, which is great! 😄 For Arabic emojis, you may need to make sure that your keyboard language is set to Arabic. If the problem persists, you may need to update iOS to the latest version. Always at your service! 📱🍏
The voice typing and dictation feature is very wonderful
A very excellent feature
Thank you, it is a very excellent feature
Here I am using this feature from the iPhone 8. It is mentioned in this article that it works on the iPhone 8 and not just the XS and above. Thank you.
I remember using it on iPhone 6 iOS8. I don't know what the new discovery is
Unfortunately, I transferred it to several Arab countries that use the numbers 123, but it did not work. 123 remained the Persian number. I think this was intentional by Apple. I was confused about the Gboard keyboard and changed the numbers to XNUMX, but I hate multiple keyboards and Apple should pay attention to these annoying numbers.
Oh God, welcome to Fares Al-Janabi! 😊 I apologize if you have a problem with the Persian numbers. Unfortunately, Apple uses Persian numbers on some sites that use the Arabic language. However, you can use third keyboard apps like Gboard as I mentioned. I wish there was a solution from Apple itself in future updates. 🍏🙏🏼
Go to: Settings/General/Language & Region/Numbers
May God’s peace and mercy be upon you. This article was written in audio
On the Arabic keyboard, the numbers field is in the form of 12345, which are Persian numbers. How do I convert them to XNUMX, which are the original Arabic numbers? It made me tired and I did not find how to change them, even though the phone’s language is English.
Hello Fares Al-Janabi! 🙋♂️ To change the format of numbers from Persian to Arabic, follow these steps: Go to “Settings,” then “General,” then “Language and Region,” and you will find the “Region Format” option. Change it to any Arab country that uses the numbers 12345, such as Egypt or the Emirates. . You will notice that the shape of the numbers changes after that. I wish you a pleasant use of your device! 📱😄
The truth is that the voice recognition system (voice dictation) is very bad and completely impractical compared to its counterpart from OpenEye, for example (Whisper). It is easier for a person to write with his fingers than to open his mouth with words. By the way, in iOS 17, Arabic dictation is no longer possible (on the iPad). Get better at Apple.
Welcome, translator! 😊 It seems that your experience with voice dictation was not up to expectations. I can't help but say "Ah, technology!" 🤷♂️. But let me reassure you, Apple is always in the process of improving its features and making sure they meet the user's needs. Maybe you'll find the next versions even better! 🚀
Just say “smiley face” and not every “smiley face” 😀
This feature is beautiful and easy, and I used it now in responding to this article. Normally I do not use it, but now I have used it as an experiment.
Thank you, a face with tears of joy, a face with tears of joy
Unfortunately, from my experience, emojis in Arabic do not work well
Really :-(
Unfortunately, the feature is only in English
I tried to change the keyboard to Arabic but it is not responding
Hi kvzw 🙋♂️, It seems that you are having trouble using the voice dictation feature in Arabic. Make sure that your keyboard language is set to Arabic, and that your operating system is iOS 16 or later. If the problem persists, there could be an update error, try updating the device again.😉📱🔄
