I looked at changes for v30 and narrowed the regression down to this change: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2024-07/msg01310.html To fix macOS dictation, we have two options: 1. Roll back the patch from msg01310 (migrating to NSTextInputClient) and re-introduce the warning. 2. Roll forward with a fix on top of the NSTextInputClient migration. My patch is for 2. > And what is 'macOS dictation", anyway? what does it do for Emacs > users? Pressing a keyboard shortcut on macOS temporarily enables dictation for any app, so you can speak and transcribe text into an Emacs buffer. Attaching demo (speech is muted).
