But for English, every time I stop, the new word become capitalised. I now use dictation on this program, and it doesn't insert space I stop as well. I realise though that when I use dictation on are the application like Line, the system doesn't insert space when I stop. I go into the Text tab on the keyboard and realise that the capitalise and add full stop with double space have not been checked prior, and also I have unchecked the correct spelling automatically, as well as use smart quotes and dashes, but going back to using mail, the dictation still inserts space every time I stop. I do use enhance dictation already, and select the Thai language. Thank you for your kind attention on my question. It just takes a little time to get into the 'rhythm' of when to pause, and when to stop dictating in order to achieve the results you want. That might be easier than hovering over the 'backspace' key to remove an inserted space.Īs you know, dictating is much faster than typing. If you find that you need more time to collect your thoughts, just press the dictation shortcut key, and then press again when you are ready to continue dictating. So, if enabling the Enhanced Dictation doesn't help, I would suggest perhaps changing the dictation shortcut to an easy key on your keyboard (for example, I use F19 which is in the upper-right corner of my numeric keyboard). There is a 'No Space On' command that you can choose for a sequence of words, but you can't choose this setting for an entire document. Long pauses while dictating can result in unwanted spaces, commas, or periods being added. While in the settings, choose the Text tab and remove the checkmarks for spelling, capitalization and adding a period as well. The first thing I would suggest is to make sure Enhanced Dictation is enabled on your Mac in the System Preferences > Keyboard > Dictation tab.

Recently, you have noticed a space is inserted when you pause.

I understand you are using the dictation feature on your Mac for writing your scripts. Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
