DictationIM — Implements system-wide Dictation and command & control.

DESCRIPTION

DictationIM is an Input Method-based process that implements the UI portion of the system-wide Dictation feature in macOS. This process registers the appropriate set of spoken commands with the embedded speech recognition engine for the current state of the UI then responds to any recognized commands by performing the expected action. Control over when this process is launched is primarily governed by the Input Method system.
