Dictation settings

Select the gear icon to see the available settings.

Dictation in Word for the Web Settings

  • Spoken Language: View and change languages in the drop-down.
  • Microphone: View and change your microphone.
  • Enable auto-punctuation: Toggle the checkmark on or off, if it's available for the language chosen.
  • Filter senstive phrases: Mask potentially sensitive phrases with ***.

Tips for using Dictation

  • Saying "delete" by itself removes the last word or punctuation before the cursor.
  • Saying "delete that" removes the last spoken utterance.
  • 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."
  • 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 you where you can type a comment.
  • To resume dictation, please use the keyboard shortcut ALT + ` or press the Mic icon in the floating dictation menu.
  • Markings may appear under words with alternates we may have misheard.
    If the marked word is already correct, you can select Ignore.

This service does not store your audio data or transcribed text.

Your speech utterances will be sent to Microsoft and used only to provide you with text results.

For more information about experiences that analyze your content, see Connected Experiences in Office.

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 note is not in a Read-Only state.

Microphone doesn't have access.

If you see "We don't have access to your microphone":

  • Make sure no other application or web page is using the microphone and try again.
  • Refresh, click on Dictate, and give permission for the browser to access the microphone.

Microphone isn't working

If you see "There is a problem with your microphone" or "We can't detect your microphone":

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.
