Did you know that your iPad will allow you to dictate notes in audIT.app?

We think this feature is great for when you want to save time on the factory floor when adding notes to your GMP inspections.

When you use on-device dictation, you can dictate text of any length without a timeout. You can stop dictation manually, or it stops automatically when you stop speaking for 30 seconds.

You may need to get your IT team to help you if the settings are locked on your iPad due to company policies.

Turn on Dictation

  1. Go to Settings  > General > Keyboard.
  2. Turn on Enable Dictation.

Dictate text

  1. Tap to place the insertion point where you want to insert text.
  2. Tap the Dictate key on the onscreen keyboard or in any text field where it appears.
    Then speak.
    If you don’t see the Dictate key, make sure Dictation is turned on. Go to Settings  > General > Keyboard, then turn on Enable Dictation.As you speak to insert text, iPad automatically inserts punctuation for you.
    Note: You can turn off automatic punctuation by going to Settings  > General > Keyboard, then turning off Auto-Punctuation.
  3. When you finish, tap the Stop Dictation button.
