Dictation Shortcut doesn’t seem to work well with Blink UX
Dictation seems to trigger randomly in iOS 14 Beta (both 1 and 2 so far). I am currently using a 12.9” iPad Pro 2020 on iOS Beta 2, and a(n iPad Pro) Magic Keyboard. Blink is at 13.5.4
I am not sure how to reproduce this, but dictation seems to trigger randomly. I can cancel it by e.g. bringing up the app switcher, but it happens enough that it does impair my workflow, as dictation input is still processed and input unless canceled.
Did a brief search to ensure I didn’t miss anything in the recent commits; hopefully I didn’t miss anything.
Thanks!
Ah, there is a (new?) dictation shortcut. Setting the system shortcut to None (via General -> Keyboard -> Dictation Shortcut) seems to work.
I am not sure if it is feasible, but perhaps we could provide a toggle in the application for overriding this feature, similar to how Smart Punctuation is disabled?
In iOS 15.2.1, there does not seem to be any way of disabling or changing the Dictation Shortcut, so any double-click of Control brings up a modal dialog.
I noticed this as well - is there any way to prevent this pop up from happening?
I moved to iOS 16, and you can once again disable the Dictation Shortcut (Settings->Keyboard->Dictation Shortcut), which solves the problem for me. Note, you can also disable Dictation completely, in which case the Dictation Shortcut setting is not visible.
I’m on iPadOS 16.1.1, and there is no ability to disable the shortcut. I can disable dictation entirely, but that still allows a double tap of Ctrl to pop up the Enable Dictation dialog, but only in Blink.
Ok, just found out how to make this go away at https://osxdaily.com/2022/08/24/remove-dictation-microphone-button-safari-iphone-ipad/. Take the following steps (tried on iPadOS 16.2):
- Open the “Settings” app
- Go to “Screen Time”
- Go to “Content & Privacy Restrictions”
- Choose “Allowed Apps”
- Choose “Disable Siri & Dictation”
That may be what you were referring to when you mentioned disabling dictation completely, but if so I didn’t know these steps at the time. Anyway, hope this helps someone!
