Open the original- What it measures
- A passage in Apple's Dictation help that points readers to Voice Control for hands-free control of the Mac. It appears in the same page as the Dictation steps, so readers see the two features side by side.
- What it does not show
- Apple's sentence describes the purpose of Voice Control. It does not describe how well Voice Control handles every app or task.
