Can you program on an ipad?
Something went wrong. Wait a moment and try again.
Dictate text
To enter text, tap the microphone button 
on your keyboard, then start speaking. As you speak, the text appears on the screen. To finish, stop speaking, then tap the keyboard button 
.
If dictation isn’t sure what word it heard, you’ll see a blue line under the transcribed word so you can check it for accuracy. To make corrections, tap the underlined word, then select the correct spelling. To replace a word, double-tap it, tap the microphone button , then say it again, and tap the keyboard button .
To replace a section, select what you want to replace, then tap the microphone button and speak again. To add more text, tap where you want to add new text, tap the microphone button , then speak again.
To change the language that dictation uses, long press the microphone button , then select the language you want to use.
Notability
Another great option for best note-taking apps for iPad and Apple Pencil, which most of us use here at iMore, is Notability. Like GoodNotes, it is a powerful and robust app, but it is a tad easier to use for most people. It has tools for handwriting, drawing, annotating PDFs, making shapes, highlighting, moving objects around the page, adding audio notes, integration with photos and web clips, and so much more. For handwritten notes and sketches, there are plenty of paper styles, like grids. You can share your digital notebooks with third-party syncing services, like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Box, and even print them out with ease.
It may seem a little overwhelming at first, but Notability does have a friendly tutorial to help guide you through the basics of using the app on the first launch.
Use punctuation and formatting
You can add punctuation by saying what you want. For example, «Hello John comma the check is in the mail exclamation mark» becomes «Hello John, the check is in the mail!»
Here are some common punctuation and formatting commands that you can use:
- Quote/end quote: begin and end a quote
- New paragraph: start a new paragraph
- New line: begin a new line
- Cap: capitalize the next word
- Caps on/caps off: capitalize the first character of each word
- Smiley: insert 🙂
- Frowny: insert 🙁
- Winky: insert 😉
