Dictate to OmniFocus

How To Use Shortcuts

This Shortcut is available for Members only

Captures what you dictate to your OmniFocus Inbox.

Run the shortcut and start speaking. When you stop speaking, the dictated action is added to the OmniFocus Inbox. In general, we recommend capturing actionable items to OmniFocus (e.g., Contact John about hiking on Saturday) and using other apps to store non-actionable items (e.g., ideas for the next vacation, books to consider reading).

On Apple Watch – The Apple Watch is an excellent capture device. Run this shortcut using Siri and add an action to your OmniFocus Inbox without taking your phone out of your pocket.

On iPhone and iPad – You can invoke Dictate to OmniFocus using Siri. Alternatively, assign the shortcut to the Action Button, a Back Tap or the Lock Screen for one-tap capture.
