Before you start
Prerequisites and permissions
Have ready
- An authorised editable text field that offers Dictate.
- A browser or platform that provides speech recognition and microphone permission.
Access rules
- Dictation grants no new Company, role, capability, plan access, assignment or record authority.
- It appears only beside a text field the current screen already permits the user to edit.
- The existing server action reauthorises and validates the field when the surrounding form is submitted.
Where to find it

Walkthrough
Step by step
- 01
Start explicitly
Select Dictate beside an authorised text field and respond to the browser or platform microphone prompt.
- 02
Stop and review
Select Stop dictation, then edit the temporary local transcript. The application has not submitted or saved it.
- 03
Insert or discard
Insert reviewed text into the normal field, or discard the transcript. Inserting still does not submit the form.
- 04
Submit normally
Check the complete field in context and use the normal form action. Existing server authority, version and validation rules still apply.
Troubleshooting
If something does not look right
Dictation is unavailable or microphone access was denied.
Type normally, or review this site's browser permission and try again. The application cannot override the browser decision.
The reviewed transcript cannot be inserted.
Shorten it to fit the existing field limit, or confirm the authorised text field is still open and editable.
