  I would further like to add that even though there are dictation options outside of dabble, these seem to break with dabble. When i say "new line" using apple's native dictation in every other app, I get a new line, in dabble, it stops typing altogether. This means for dictation I must dicatate in another program and copy into dabble, defeating the purpose of dabble entirely.

  This would be especially helpful in the mobile app since 'typing' really isn't an option and I get killer ideas when driving, waiting, or during the night!

  I agree. My carpel tunnel is sometimes a problem. And if I could figure out how to use it while out and about as Jan suggested, that would be even better! And yes, for accessibility, this would be a wonderful addition!

  This would differentiate Dabble from Scrivener and would integrate one of the best features of Word, It is so important for the drafting process and making notes. I seriously hope you will consider this. I'm currently in a trial with Dabble, and this would be a game-changer. I guess if you already have some kind of read aloud function, would it be so difficult to integrate a Voice-to-Text function?

  Barbara Cartland produced hundreds of novels with her eyes closed while she spoke out aloud with her loyalty typist sitting in her lounge typing her every word. I would love to lay down on my sofa, turn Dabble Writer on and close my eyes where I visualize my entire story in my head speaking aloud to Dabble Writer while Dabble Writer types my every word into hundreds of novels just like Barbara Cartland. Now that would be absolutely awesome, right.

  This seems to have been under consideration for several years and as more of us move to dictation, it's becoming more urgent. I've spent half the day looking for something else that will actually work because right now using the microphone breaks Dabble and with a wrist problem it's becoming urgent.

  Absolutely this!!! I love Dabble but hate having to use another software when I can’t type.
