Description

Apple Dictation is an integrated feature in macOS that allows users to input text by speaking in any application where text can be entered. Once the feature is activated, users can initiate it using the Microphone key, a personalized keyboard shortcut, or by selecting Start Dictation, and can terminate it with the Escape key, the same shortcut, or the Microphone key again. For those using Apple silicon Macs, it is possible to continue typing while dictating, with Dictation resuming listening once keyboard activity ceases. Users can issue spoken commands to insert emoji, punctuation marks, new lines, and new paragraphs, and the system can automatically add commas, periods, and question marks in supported languages. Dictation is capable of handling text of any length and will cease automatically after 30 seconds of no detected speech input. If macOS is unsure about a particular word, it highlights the text for users to either choose an alternative or make a manual correction. Additionally, users can enable multiple Dictation languages and switch between them during their speech, while also having the option to select their preferred microphone or allow macOS to make that choice automatically. This flexibility makes Apple Dictation a powerful tool for enhancing productivity and accessibility across macOS applications.

Description

Aurio is an innovative macOS application designed to eliminate background noise from a microphone in real-time, directing the enhanced audio through a virtual input device known as Aurio Microphone. This setup enables users to select the Aurio Microphone input in various compatible applications for calls, recordings, or streaming, ensuring that the same refined microphone audio is available across different platforms. The application is compatible with a Mac's built-in microphone, USB or XLR audio interfaces, and Bluetooth headsets, and it features adjustable noise-removal strength, an A/B audio preview option, and a convenient menu-bar on/off toggle. The audio processing occurs locally on Apple silicon Macs, allowing it to function offline without reliance on internet connectivity. Aurio caters to Mac users who frequently engage in calls, record audio, or stream in environments where ambient noise from fans, traffic, or keyboards can disrupt clarity. Requiring macOS 13.3 or later and specifically designed for Apple silicon Macs, it unfortunately does not support Intel Macs, making it imperative for users to have the appropriate hardware for optimal performance. Ultimately, Aurio enhances audio quality, providing a professional touch to any audio interaction on compatible devices.
