## What this shortcut does

Use iOS’ native speech-to-text to dictate a note in a language of your choosing from the Shortcuts widget. The list of supported languages can be customized in the shortcut. Starting with Shortcuts 2.2, it is possible to save dictated text to Notes in the background – directly from the widget – without showing the Notes composer. The Notes action can be replaced with other note-taking apps such as Evernote or Drafts.

## Compatibility

iPhone, iPad, Mac

## Required apps

Shortcuts, Messages, Evernote, Notes, Drafts
