I'm using Lucidchart in Chrome on a Mac. Dictation/voice text input doesn't work for me. I can use voice-to-text across Chrome and in other browser-based mind mapping/task management/ diagramming applications. Is there a way to do it Lucidchart?

 

Thanks,

James

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.
