Summary
Windows Voice Typing provides an easy way to enter text into your computer without using your hands by using your voice, making it beneficial to those who may have limited use of their hands, or who prefer to dictate text while they work.
In order to use this feature, you must first enable it under the Interaction settings in your Windows device, while also ensuring your microphone is correctly set up, and that you have a strong signal to ensure your voice is audible to Windows.
Once everything is set up you can begin voice typing by either saying “Voice Access, wake up” or by pressing the microphone button on your keyboard, followed by “voice typing” followed by the specific command of one of the eight tips provided.
These tips include remembering the punctuation commands, learning how to maneuver through a document with voice commands, and remembering the voice commands to insert various text or symbols, such as the “no space” command to combine two proper nouns.
These tips, combined with a little bit of practice, will allow you to efficiently voice type anything you would like on your Windows device.
