What is the Dictation Pill on Mac?

Written by Mike B

The Dictation Pill is a small floating overlay that stays on your screen while Speechify is running. It gives you a live status indicator for dictation — so you always know what Speechify is doing, no matter what app you're in.

Pill controls

  • Tap on the pill to start dictation

  • Confirm (checkmark button) — finishes dictation and pastes the transcribed text.

  • Cancel (X button) — discards the current dictation without inserting any text.
