Follow these useful tips to get the most out of your Talkatoo experience.
Starting and stopping dictation
Wait until all of your words and punctuation appear, and any automatic corrections have been made before pressing the button again to end dictation.
Context is important
Talkatoo does its best work when you are speaking full thoughts, sentences and paragraphs. You’ll see the most time savings when you use Talkatoo for longer dictations, and this is when it will be at its most accurate.
Spoken vs. Automatic Punctuation
The default setting is for you to speak your punctuation (e.g.
Hi comma (,) how are you today question mark (?) I am well period (.)
There is a large list of available punctuation for you to say, and you can learn more here.
Alternatively, you can disable this setting and Talkatoo will do its best to place punctuation for you based on what you say.
Voice Commands
Say “new line” or “new paragraph” to go down one or two lines in your text (like pressing Enter/Return). These commands work whether you have Spoken Punctuation turned on or not.
Don’t look at the screen
While dictating, don’t follow the words on the screen, as seeing Talkatoo make an initial mistake or correction may cause you to lose your train of thought. Instead, look at your notes, a nearby animal, or close your eyes.
