title: Can I use OS X 10.8's speech recognition/dictation without a GUI?
body: <p>Ideally I would like to use 10.8's/Mountain Lion's dictation feature from Python, without a GUI.  As far as I can tell dictation is currently only supported by using the <a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uitextinput" rel="nofollow noreferrer">UITextInput protocol</a>, which implies a GUI (correct?).</p>
