actualNoteContentPart: As of November 2024, Amplenote does not natively support voice input or speech-to-text. Since every OS supports it natively, and it's also possible to use plugins for still-more refined speech-to-text functionality, we believe that users are well-served via providers who specialize in the difficult task of interpreting sentence context to maximize accuracy.

  # Plugin: Voice Notes (OpenAI Whisper integration)
  
  
  This plugin lets you speak into your microphone, then send the text to OpenAi for transcription. The transcription is very precise, and the plugin requires you to have your own OpenAI API key. [Check it out here](https://www.amplenote.com/plugins/fm9MJDAwKkWrHnRDm1mGfDzf) .
   
  # macOS: Dictation
  On any modern macOS laptop or desktop, the button that doubles as "F5" can be pressed to begin "dictation mode." Here is [Apple's help page describing how to enable and use Dictation](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/use-dictation-mh40584/mac) .
  
  The CEO of Amplenote uses this feature regularly to dictate long, multi-paragraph notes. The feature has consistently done a solid job of interpreting the context each sentence spoken, and revising past words in the sentence as necessary to ensure coherence.
  
  The only "gotcha" is that, as of Q4 2024, there is not an easy way to create new lines or to revise the past word (aside from being able to sometimes delete it per [Apple's commands for dictating text](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/commands-for-dictating-text-on-mac-mh40695/15.0/mac/15.0) ). It's easy to use the keyboard for light touchups and new lines -- it doesn't disable dictation to do so.
  
  # iOS: Dictation
  Put your cursor in a note. The keyboard will appear. Tap this button:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Voila. You can dictate text into a note, with somewhat more functionality than is available in the macOS version of the feature.
  
  # iOS: Create new tasks via Siri
  If you are on iPhone or iPad, you can install [the Capture to Amplenote shortcut](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/c0183f6b3ddb480a89d64ecb36783e35)  and invoke it via Siri to quickly capture new tasks to your daily jot. To invoke the shortcut you can long-press your power button then say "Capture to Amplenote", at which point Siri will ask you for the contents of the task to add to your daily jot.
