New Apple TV beta adds support for text field dictation

Zac Hall, from 9to5Mac, talks through lots of cool new stuff coming with the next release of tvOS.

From previous betas, you can merge apps together to form a folder. For example, you might move all your on demand channels into one folder and your games into another folder.

With this new beta, you can now use dictation (you have to enable it first) to speak your text, anywhere there’s a search text field. Not clear if this will work in third party apps but, hopefully, this will just work automagically. Here’s a demo video Benjamin Mayo put together showing the dictation at work.

Can’t wait for this all to hit the release version.
