| Dictation must be disabled on Intel-based Macs as the feature On Device Dictation is only available on Apple Silicon devices. |
| ℹ️ Check |

| For Apple Silicon-based systems, this is not applicable. Verify the macOS system is configured to disable dictation with the following command: /usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS $.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\ .objectForKey('allowDictation').js EOS If the result is not "false", this is a finding. |

| Configure the macOS system to disable dictation by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile. |
