Voice dictation has been around for a while in Windows, but a full experience is necessary, especially since the Microsoft wants to improve the way we use it operating system without mouse and keyboard.
The latest preview version of Windows 10 released by Microsoft to Insiders contains an early version of this new voice typing feature.
"Voice typing in Windows is the new and improved version of voice dictation that allows you to type effortlessly through your voice where 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.
It should be noted that not all languages are currently supported, but hopefully the company will roll out the new feature to more users in the coming months before the new OS goes live. The following languages can use the mode of voice typing:
English (USA)
English (Australia)
English (India)
English (Canada)
English (United Kingdom)
French (France)

Portuguese (Brazilian)
Simplified Chinese

Voice typing can be controlled with voice commands, so for example, you can simply stop or abort the operation with a command such as "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.
