Using Dictation to Make a List

[madsci954]

Is there a way to use Dictation to make a list? Say I'm in Reminders and I want to make a grocery list. I want to add milk, eggs, cheese, and bread. Is there a way to use Dictation to say each item and give it their own check box?

I know I can Fn-Fn - "milk" - enter - Fn-Fn - "eggs" - enter - Fn-Fn - "cheese"...etc but I'm interested in one flowing motion.

That sounds like something Siri would be more likely to do. But as far as I know, dictation is just dictation. It doesn't allow for any commands like Send Message, or Set Reminder, etc.

I can't test it right now but, what would happen if you dictate "Milk new-line Cheese new-line Bread..."
I am not too sure but it might make them different items.

Just like Siri, voice dictation in ML is a novelty that wears off fast because it's so limited. (Well, really it sucks).

In a noisy room my jaw actually hurts after awhile from carefully enunciating the words and there is so much to correct I end up typing it all anyway.

agreed it was fun to try it a few times but nothing i would actualy use for replacing typing
