Correct without speaking

Use this for text you typed or pasted where speaking is not practical. Only speech recognition is skipped; correction, term preservation, and insertion work exactly as in dictation.

Try it​

  1. Click the field where the text should go.
  2. Press ⌃⇧T. The input window opens.
  3. Type or paste your text.
  4. Press ⌘Return.
  5. The corrected text lands where your cursor was before the window opened.

esc closes the window without inserting anything. Open text input in the quick controls opens it too.

The ⌃⇧T text input window

Speaking inside the window​

Press the window's Dictate button, or dictate with ⌃⇧R while the window is open, and Sogon appends the transcription to the field. Speak, fix it by hand, then submit with ⌘Return. Text you dictate this way only goes into the field and never touches your clipboard.

Good to know​

  • The window shows the provider and correction mode that will apply. Change correction settings in Settings → LLM, not in the window.
  • If correction is off, the window says No correction — inserted as-is and inserts the original.
  • The limit is 1,500 characters. The window shows the count and blocks you from submitting beyond it.
  • Change the shortcut in Settings → General → Recording → Text Input Shortcut.
