Shortcuts

The Dictation shortcut is the key that starts and stops dictation in any app. The default shortcut is F5.

Two ways to use the shortcut

Mode How it works
Hold to talk Hold the shortcut while you speak, release it to stop
Press to talk Press once to start, press again to stop

Change the shortcut

You can open the Dictation shortcut screen in two places. Both open the same screen:

  • Settings → Shortcuts, then click the Dictation row
  • Settings → Dictation → Set shortcut

On that screen, click Change, then press the key or key combination you want to use.
