How to dictate text into Word using Windows 10

How do you dictate to Word 2016. I have Cortana, but don`t know how to hook it up with Word. I ask Cortana and get sent in circles. Getting ready to throw Cortana out the window. I am not tech savvy and need step by step instructions.

 

Microsoft Word Dictate

Hi Danie,laLopez5

Thank you for participating in the Microsoft Community. My name is Sid, a Microsoft user like you and an Independent Advisor. I am sorry to hear that your Word dictation no longer works. I'll be glad to help you with your concern.

Before we proceed, I want to know what version of Office Word are you using?

To make sure dictation on Word works, your Office 365 must be active. Please check the link below.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Dictation - Random Capitilization

Hi TFLJ,

It's possible that Dictation listens and analyzes your words in phrases or context clues. It is important to state the word clearly.

By the way, since when did this behavior start? Have you made any changes or installed any updates on your computer before this issue?

In order for us to sort this out, I suggest setting the Dictation to make all the letters in a word lowercase. Once this is enabled, try dictating again and see if it still randomly capitalizes letters or words.

If the issue persists, then it is best that you train again your PC to recognize your speech. Follow these steps:

1. Open Control Panel.
2. Click Ease of Access > Speech Recognition.
3. Under Configure your Speech Recognition experience, click the link Train your computer to better understand you option.
4. Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

Please let me know the result.

Regards.
