Voice dictation has been around for a while now in Windows, but a full experience is needed, especially since Microsoft wants to improve the way we use the operating system without a mouse and keyboard.
The last version previews of Windows 10 that Microsoft made available to Insiders contains an early version of this new voice typing feature.
"OR voice typing on Windows is the new and improved version of voice dictation that lets you type effortlessly with your voice wherever there is a text field on your computer. Sometimes, using your voice is more comfortable and efficient than typing.
With Windows Voice Typing, you can rest your hands and just say what you want to type,” he says Microsoft.
How does it work; To start voice typing, just press the two Windows + H keys together or press the microphone button on the touch keyboard. The experience is very similar to that of a mobile phone.
Note that not all languages are supported at this time, but we hope that the company will make the new feature available to more users in the coming months before the new operating system is released. The following languages may use the voice typing function:
English (USA)
English (Australia)
English (India)
English (Canada)
English (United Kingdom)
French (France)
French (Canada)
Portuguese (Brazilian)
Simplified Chinese
Spanish (Mexico)

German
Italian

Voice typing can be controlled by voice commands, so for example, you can simply stop or stop it with a command like “Stop Voice Typing”. If you want to delete a section, you can say “Delete”. Such commands are available in all supported languages.
The voice typing experience comes with automatic punctuation, so technically, you can keep talking and Windows 10 will understand when to add semicolons and periods. You can enable this feature from the settings screen.
