Additional Ideas for Using Shortcuts and
Voice Dictation
When creating acronym shortcuts, think of how to use them for specific purposes.
For example, you might create acronyms that represent common search terms you
look for or phrases you like using in emails.
Voice dictation is best when you can’t use your hands to type. You can
usevoice dictation to dictate memos, email messages, or even entire letters and
reports that you can edit later if necessary. For many people, voice dictation can
be handy with text messaging. If you can’t physically talk to someone, you can talk
through text messaging and have your iPad transcribe your words as the next best
alternative.
By using shortcuts and voice dictation, you can reduce or even eliminate
typing altogether. For many people, the less typing they do, the happier and more
productive they’ll be.
