    How to stop Microsoft Dictation from Overwriting previously spoken text??


    We have been using the Windows key + H for the Windows Dictation program for a couple weeks now and for the most part it has worked well.All of a sudden today, it's not working. Once activated and start speaking it will transcribe the first few words/sentence, but then it will start replacing previous words with newer text instead of just continuing on to a new sentence. If I say one line, then pause, and say another line, it will overwrite the first line.

    How to stop Microsoft Dictation from Overwriting previously spoken text??

    can cortana be used to dictate text into Microsoft Word?

    Now this sounds interesting!!I will be giving it a try soon. I presume that it's a small step to printing the text?
