Dictating text

In general, if you can select a text field, you can dictate into that field. However, mixing dictation and typing may not be supported on all websites, so you should avoid using your keyboard while dictating. Sites that allow mixing typing with dictation include:

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Gmail
  • Google Calendar
  • Outlook.com
  • Yahoo
  • CNN
  • YouTube
  • EBay
