Where Japanese dictation fits
Use it for Japanese messages, notes, and work 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 Japanese support is determined
Japanese 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 Japanese on a Mac
Japanese text combines kanji with hiragana and katakana, and the correct written form can depend on context.
What to review
Check personal names, company names, numerals, and the kanji chosen for uncommon terms. Recognition varies with the microphone, room, accent, pace, names, and specialist vocabulary. Review the finished text before you send or publish it.
