Open the original- What it measures
- The PDF is titled as a macOS Enhanced Dictation cheat sheet, version 1.0, copyright 2019. Its commands for selecting, deleting and replacing text are the ones Apple's current Dictation command list does not include.
- What it does not show
- These are third-party commands from a 2019 sheet. The sheet's own footnote says one command is buggy. Do not rely on any phrase from it on macOS 27 without testing it in Voice Control, where Apple documents editing commands.
