Dictating with ViaVoice
There are two methods you can use to dictate and process text with ViaVoice: dictating
into SpeakPad or using Dictation Stream Redirection (DSR), which allows you to dictate
into another application.
Dictating Into SpeakPad
This is the most common method for dictating, since SpeakPad is built upon Apple’s
TextEdit technology. This integration provides a simple and seamless way to dictate and
edit text. Additionally, correction is only available in SpeakPad. Once you dictate into
SpeakPad, you can easily edit, format, and transfer your text into other supported
applications.
1.
Open SpeakPad from the ViaVoice folder.
2.
Begin dictating your text.

activities. For more information, see page 56.
