Where Cantonese dictation fits
Use it for Cantonese messages, quick notes, and conversational drafts. Put the cursor in the field, dictate, and release your key. Dictaty completes transcription in the background and inserts the result when that field allows it.
How Cantonese support is determined
Cantonese is not part of Dictaty’s 25-language model. Dictaty shows it only when macOS reports a usable local speech engine on that Mac.
Writing Cantonese on a Mac
Spoken Cantonese can differ substantially from formal written Chinese, so the intended register matters.
What to review
Check names, colloquial particles, English terms, and whether the written result matches the tone you intended. Recognition varies with the microphone, room, accent, pace, names, and specialist vocabulary. Review the finished text before you send or publish it.
