• Direct dictation in Microsoft Word

    Posted on June 21, 2017 at 04:44 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Microsoft has just announced the release of Dictate 5.0, a Microsoft Garage project that lets you dictate directly into Office apps. “Hands free typing for Microsoft Office,” the story goes.

    You know, the kind of thing you’ve been able to do with Android or iOS for about a hundred years.

    No, this isn’t an Office application. It’s an Office add-in, created by a Microsoft “Garage” team. That means you can’t expect the same level of support for Dictate that you get for Office. Ba-dum-bum.

    It requires Office 2013 or later on Win 8.1 or later.

    Give it a roll and let us know what you think.
