Open System Settings › Keyboard, go to Dictation and click Edit next to Languages to add the ones you speak. With more than one, click the language next to the cursor while you dictate to switch.
01 Open the Dictation settings
Choose Apple menu › System Settings, then click Keyboard in the sidebar. You may need to scroll down. Go to Dictation, and if it’s off, turn it on and click Enable.
02 Add your languages
Click Edit next to Languages, then select each language and region you want to dictate in. To remove one, deselect it. Dictation isn’t available in every language or region; Apple’s macOS Feature Availability page lists the ones it supports.
03 Switch while you dictate
With more than one language set up, click the language next to the cursor while you dictate. It shows as an abbreviation or a character that stands for the language. If your keyboard has a Globe key, you can also press it and choose the language.
Switching all the time? There’s an easier way
With Flula you pick every language you speak once, then mix them freely, even mid-sentence. There’s nothing to switch. In the Flula app, open Settings › Languages, click Change next to “You speak” and select your languages. Leave “Flula writes in” on “Same as spoken”, so every word stays in the language you said it. Want one app in another language? Set it for that app on the Style page.
See how Flula handles two or more languages in one sentence.
