AppleScript¶

The AppleScript dictionary lives at assets/dictate.sdef. It becomes active when dictate ships as a packaged .app with NSScriptingDefinitionFile in Info.plist.

Start recording¶

tell application "dictate"
    start recording
end tell

Stop recording¶

tell application "dictate"
    stop recording
end tell

Toggle recording¶

tell application "dictate"
    toggle recording
end tell

Open history¶

tell application "dictate"
    open history
end tell

Development fallback¶

Before the packaged app is registered, use shell commands from AppleScript:

do shell script "cd ~/dictate && python3 -m dictate 'dictate://toggle'"
