How to Dictate Notes in Evernote (New Dictation Feature)

Want to get ideas out of your head and into Evernote fast? Switch on the new dictation tool with /dictation, speak naturally and watch it add punctuation as you go.

Do you want to get ideas out of your head and into Evernote faster?

In this little mid-week video I’m demoing Evernote’s new dictation feature, how it differs from a normal voice note and how to start using it in seconds.

What you’ll see:

  • How dictation works across devices (PC, Mac, iPhone and Android)

  • The quickest way to start dictation using the /dictation slash command

  • Where to find it in the Insert menu if you prefer clicking

  • What the dictation block looks like and how it behaves while you speak

  • How Evernote adds punctuation and line breaks automatically

  • A quick look at switching languages while dictating

The quality of the dictation is generally very good. On the improvement side, I would like to be able to dictate checklists and bullet lists, that would be useful.

If you give it a try, let me know how you get on. Leave me a comment below

Have a great rest of the week

All the best

Jon
