dictate multilingual Action Description

  • this action allows to start the dictation for different languages it is especially useful if you want to dictate in different languages (e.g. your native language and english)
  • the languages are presented in a customizable prompt to your need
  • if you run the action you’ll see a prompt with all the languages you didn’t disable - after you selected a language, the dictation interface will be shown for the selected language

Configuration of languages

  • to configure the languages you want to see, you need to edit the script step of this action
  • just open it and look for the array “locales” starting at line 4
  • if you want to diable a language to don’t show it in the prompt, just comment out that line by adding two forward slashes (“//”) at the beginning of the line
  • to e.g. dicatein either english or german, the array should look like this: const locales = [ ["German", "de"], // ["German (Germany)", "de_DE"], ["English (US)", "en_US"], // ["Spanish", "es"], // ["Spanish (Mexico)", "es_MX"], // ["Frensh", "fr"], // ["Italian", "it"], // ["Croatian", "hr"], // ["Serbian", "sr"], // ["Hungarian", "hu"], // ["Swedish", "sv"], // ["Greek (Greece)", "el_GR"], // ["Dutch", "nl"], // ["Swiss German", "gsw"], // ["Portugese", "pt"], // ["Czech", "cs"], // ["Icelandic", "is"], // ["Turkish", "tr"], // ["Danish", "da"], // ["Chinese", "zh"], // ["Japanese", "ja"], // ["Ukrainian", "uk"], // ["Polish", "pl"], // ["Russian", "ru"], ]
  • if you can’t find your language (or your variation) in the array, you can e.g. look into this file on gist. If you want to add a new language, just replace an existing one, or add a new element into the array
