Thank you Luis Sequeira1


Are you able to expand on this for me?

  1. I wish to be able to transcribe speech to text via my Mac.
  2. I don't have an Fn key on my keyboard.


I would really appreciate it if you could help me understand this process. I am an old bloke who is not very good with technology. It would benefit me greatly due to hearing problems.


Thank you very much


Bob
