Most of us are accustomed to talking to our phones when composing and replying to text messages but what about the computer?
Windows supports voice typing and it is easy to configure. Voice typing allows you to dictate text instead of typing. You will need to have a microphone attached to your computer to record your voice.
Go to Windows Settings > Accessibility > Speech and use the toggle switch next to ‘Voice Access’ to turn it on. You will have the option to start before or after you sign in, or you can manually turn it on and off when you want to use it. When you toggle it on it will go through the setup process and offer a brief tutorial.
Open an application in which you want to dictate text, such as Notepad, WordPad, Microsoft Word, or Email. Press Windows + H on your keyboard to bring up the voice typing interface, which is a small pop-up that prompts you to start speaking.
When using voice typing it is best to work in a quiet environment without background noise. Speak clearly and slowly for best results.
When you are finished using voice you can say a voice typing command like “stop listening” or click the microphone button to toggle start and stop listening.
To close voice, click the Close (X) button or press the (Esc) key.
Visit Microsoft for voice typing and punctuation commands.
