Move your cursor to the body of the email and continue dictating your desired message. Move your cursor to the Subject line start dictating. Wait for the Dictation toolbar to appear and start listening. This also allows me to make Zoom calls remotely. Start a New Email and go to Message > Dictate while signed into Microsoft 365 on a mic-enabled device. What I do know is my work laptop shows "remote audio" when I hover over the little speaker button on the task bar and I had to change setting on my MRD to allow my local mic (and video) to be used remotely. I don't know if the functionality has been added or not. 6 months ago I could not do this and I didn't find any help on line to resolve this at the time. So even though it seems like they might draw on the same office capability in practice there is a performance difference.īTW I am also dictating from home while remoting (Microsoft Remote Desktop) into my work laptop. I do speak words individually so it is not "quick" either way. As a cross check I went immediately to Word and found word pick up was fine. I did find that it would find an email address when I spoke a name so there is some intrinsic functionality.Īs a cross comparison, I just tried to dictate an email and it was very slow to pick up my words. If I say "delete" it does not delete the previous word, it adds delete. I have used dictate to a limited degree in Word and found it better. For that matter I can't find the "Actions" section either like the help seems to indicate. I cannot for the life of me find a dictate button. I am using Office 365 through my work and I am signed into Office 365. I click that and the little mic dialog box opens and I can dictate. I forgot this was about Word and PPT because I am looking for help in Outlook.Īnyway, a little late, however if it helps someone else I just found if I type "dictate" into the "Tell me what you want to" box at the top of an email I get a couple of selections to pick of which one is "Office Dictation". Sorry I am writing this from the perspective of Outlook.
This problem exists on multiple devices i have tried, and across multiple accounts.
#ENABLE DICTATION IN WORD 2016 WINDOWS 10#
What else is required for making dictate work? I have no office group policies, and very minimal windows 10 policies in general, so i doubt i have turned off this feature. So what am i doing wrong here? I have also heard anecdotally that some workstations in the company have this enabled already, but i havent actually seen it. I am trying to use this on the Thick word 2016 application and people in other threads, say that works fine. I have an academic office 365 A3 license. I am logging onto word with my office365 credentials.
I have done that, and i still dont have a menu item for "Intelligent Services" or the dictate button. Right, so i have read many threads that are now locked on technet forums (thanks M$ for sunsetting an amazing and still useful site).Īs far as i can tell, we need to enable user config -> policies -> administrative templates -> microsoft office 2016 -> privacy -> trust center -> Send Personal Information = ENABLED
