Dictate your documents in Word

Dictation lets you use speech-to-text to author content in Office with a microphone and reliable internet connection. It's a quick and easy way to get your thoughts out, create drafts or outlines, and capture notes.

How to use Dictation

1. Sign in to your Microsoft account using Edge, Firefox, or Chrome.

2. Go to Home > Dictate. First-time users will be prompted to enable microphone permissions.

A picture of the Dictate button in the ribbon.

3. A mic icon will appear - wait for it to turn on to be sure it started listening.

Tip: On Windows, use Alt + ` (backquote) to toggle the mic.

4. Insert punctuation any time by saying them explicitly.

5. Fix mistakes with your keyboard or Dictation suggestions without having to turn off the mic icon.

6. Exit dictation with Close (X) in the Dictation toolbar or pressing the button in the ribbon again.

What can I say?

Try saying "new line", "delete", "bold that", and "start list". Other supported punctuation, commands, and symbols are below.

`hyphen`	`-`
`ellipsis, dot dot dot`	`...`

Editing


                            undo


                            delete*


                            delete that*


                            delete last [1-100] words/sentences


                            delete [word or phrase]*


                            insert space


                            backspace


                            backspace [1-100]

*Tips

Saying “delete” by itself removes the last word or punctuation before the cursor.
Saying “delete that” removes the last spoken utterance.
An example of using [phrase] would be dictating “what a super nice day” and then saying “delete super.” You would then be left with the phrase "what a nice day."

Formatting


                            bold


                            italics


                            underline


                            strikethrough


                            <format*> [word or phrase]


                            superscript


                            subscript


                            indent


                            decrease indent


                            clear all formatting


                            align [left, center, right]

*Tips

You can bold, italicize, underline, or strikethrough a word or phrase. An example would be dictating “review by tomorrow at 5PM”, then saying “bold tomorrow” which would leave you with "review by tomorrow at 5PM."
Try phrases like “bold last word” or “underline last sentence.”

Creating lists


                            start list


                            start numbered list


                            next line


                            exit list

Adding comments


                            add comment [your message here]*

*Tips

Saying “add comment look at this tomorrow” will insert a new comment with the text “Look at this tomorrow” inside it.
Saying “add comment” by itself will create a blank comment box that can be manually typed into.

While dictating


                            show help


                            pause dictation


                            exit dictation*

*Tips

To resume dictation, please use the keyboard shortcut (ALT + `) or press the Mic icon in the floating dictation menu.

Troubleshooting

Can't find the dictate button

If you can't see the button to start dictation:

Make sure you're signed in with an active Microsoft 365 subscription.
Dictate is not available in Office 2016 or 2019 for Windows without Microsoft 365.
Make sure you have Windows 10 or above.

Dictate button is grayed out

If you see the dictate button is grayed out:

Make sure the document is not in a Read-Only state.

Microphone doesn't have access

Make sure the microphone is plugged in.
Test the microphone to make sure it's working.
Check the microphone settings in Control Panel.
Also see How to set up and test microphones in Windows 10.
On a Surface running Windows 10: Adjust microphone settings.

Dictation can't hear you

If you see "Dictation can't hear you" or if nothing appears on the screen as you dictate:

Make sure your microphone is not muted.
Adjust the input level of your microphone.
Move to a quieter location.
If using a built-in mic, consider trying again with a headset or external mic.

Accuracy issues or missed words

If you see a lot of incorrect words being output or missed words:

Make sure you're on a fast and reliable internet connection.
Avoid or eliminate background noise that may interfere with your voice.
Try speaking more deliberately.
Check to see if the microphone you are using needs to be upgraded.
