Karlston Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Voice Dictation in Microsoft Word is about to get a lot better Another Microsoft Garage product has made it into the big time. Dictate for Microsoft Office on Windows will be retired as an add-on on 15th October, to then be officially integrated into Office 365 and Windows 10. The plugin from Microsoft Garage is powered by Microsoft Cognitive Services, which is the AI-powered speech recognition service. The use of artificial intelligence means constantly improving algorithms, and therefore a progressively more adaptable, reliable tool. Dictate is an Office add-in for Windows Outlook, Word and PowerPoint that converts speech to text using the state-of-the-art speech recognition behind Cortana and Microsoft Translator. The key features of the app are: Highly accurate speech to text Supports 29 spoken languages Real-time translation to 60 languages Commands like “new line”, “stop dictation” and “enter” to give more control while dictating Two modes of punctuations: Auto and manual (with commands like “Question mark”, “Period”, “Exclamation mark”, “Comma”) Visual feedback to indicate speech is being processed Check out a brief demonstration by Microsoft: Source: Voice Dictation in Microsoft Word is about to get a lot better (MSPoweruser) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
