Voice dictation and dyslexia: write by talking

Why dictation can help

With dyslexia or spelling difficulties, much of the effort goes into spelling rather than ideas. When you dictate, you focus on what you want to say: Saymila takes care of writing it.

• Talk at your own pace, with your hesitations and restarts.
• The text arrives with spelling, punctuation and capitals fixed.
• The meaning and the tone of your message are kept.

Already typed it? One button fixes it

If you would rather type, the keyboard’s “Rewrite” button cleans up the text in the field. On a Mac, it is a right-click › Services on the selected text.

The words that always cause trouble

First names, family names and unusual words can be added to “My Words”: Saymila will always spell them the right way.

Wherever you write

On iPhone and Android, Saymila is a keyboard that opens in all your apps. On a Mac and on Windows, hold a key and talk: the text is typed wherever your cursor is, in an email or in homework.

What Saymila is not

Saymila is neither a medical device nor a therapy tool, and it does not replace the support of a speech and language therapist. It is an everyday writing tool, made for everyone.

At school or for an exam, using a dictation tool depends on the accommodations you were granted: ask your school.
