Open the original- What it measures
- Apple's Spanish page lists its punctuation table for Dictation on the Mac, with the macOS version shown first on the page.
- What it does not show
- The table lists only the closing mark. Spanish writers who need ¿ must type it or use a text replacement; this is not a claim that Apple's engine can never insert ¿.
