Open the original- What it measures
- Apple's example shows a correction made by saying the new word letter by letter. The same page shows the spell-a-word command with the example 'Steven S-T-E-P-H-E-N'.
- What it does not show
- Apple gives one example, not a full procedure for names. The page does not say whether a spelled-out word is saved for later dictation.
