Open the original- What it measures
- The author compared dictation in Mojave, where Enhanced Dictation was a tab in the Keyboard pane, with the same pane in Catalina.
- What it does not show
- One author's account from December 2019. Apple's pages do not name Enhanced Dictation, so the removal rests on this source.
