Hi @Jedie 

Thanks for your post! Unfortunately, we currently don’t support Apple’s Dictation feature, but we’re very interested in your feedback and committed to continually improving our products. If you’re willing to share, we’d love to hear more details about your use case or what you’d like to see in this experience within this thread. I’ve also converted this post to an idea so that it’s visible to others within the Product Feedback section of the community - from here, they can upvote it and add details of their own.

Finally, for more information on how Lucid manages feedback via this community, take a look at this post:

The use case is somewhat simple. For anything I can type I can speak faster. I'm somewhat behind the curb when using speech-to-text. For a while, many of my colleagues have worked this way for email, writing documents, using chatGPT, etc..

There is a second use case, which is actually a (not ideal) workaround for lucidchart lacking capability in mind maps. In other mind map software, you can copy and paste individual branches from one part of the map and duplicate them in another. It's common to want to be able to do this. Unfortunately, today, in lucidchart, if you copy a single branch, it copies the entire mind map, and when you paste, it pastes the entire mind map. So, I resort to voice-to-text to recreate individual branches (instead of re-typing each individually) that already exist elsewhere in my mind map.

Just wanted to see if there is any plans for this feature to be embedded?

I'm a recent user of Lucid (new job, and have been working in Miro and Figjam since moving to digital spaces in 2020 and both have dictation enabled) and I'm finding the lack of this feature a bit frustrating.

I dictate / use talk to text in most situations. And find when I'm moving between different tools, often dictating and having to stop and type in lucid this is friction point.

As the person mentioned above it is faster and what we are seeing across many tools (even tools that don’t have it built in you can utilise apple’s build in dictation feature). But being able to do this not only helps with speed it also supports people with cognitive or physical disabilities. Adding that last point as a person with lived experience. 

+ I even dictated the first draft of this post :)  

Hi ​@Jedie and ​@jess rudolph, thank you for adding your feedback to this thread! I can certainly understand why this would be beneficial.

While I don’t have any updates on this feature quite yet, this thread remains the best place for updates on this!
