El Capitan has a lot of new and hidden features that a lot of users may not know about.  One such feature is a way for El Capitan to take dictation.  Once more, the user can activate the feature by saying a special word.  Here’s how:

1. Go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES > ACCESSIBILITY > DICTATION.
2. Click the OPEN DICTATION & SPEECH PREFERENCES …. button.
3. Turn Dictation ON.
4. Go back to the main System Preferences menu, and select Accessibility again.
5. Place a check mark next to the Enable the dictation keyword phrase option.
6. Close the SYSTEM PREFERENCES window.

You should now be able to dictate a letter when using TextEdit or any other word processing app.
