Lazy enough to type?

Here are some tips for those who don’t want to spend their time overworking their fingers on the keyboard.

1. Make sure you have a microphone connected to your computer. This can be built-in, like on a laptop, or a separate mic that you plug into the USB or audio jack. Note: Use a headset for the best experience.
2. In Microsoft Word, make sure you're in the "Home" tab at the top of the screen, and then click "Dictate."
3. You should hear a beep, and the dictate button will change to include a red recording light.
4. Speak clearly, and Word should transcribe everything you say in the current document. Speak punctuation aloud as you go, for example, “new line”, “comma”, and “period”. 
5. When you're done dictating, click "Dictate" a second time or turn it off using your voice by saying, "Turn the dictate feature off."
6. You can still type with the keyboard while Dictate is on, but if you click outside of Word or switch to another program, Dictate will turn itself off.  

Want to change languages to be accurate? You can click the downward arrow on the Dictate button to choose the language you want to speak.
