  1. Vulgar language came upon my screen while dictating in Cortana, then she stopped working....


    I used Cortana before. Not the best experience, but I hear it's a learning curve so, I just kept on.

    I was dictating a letter one day, my screen went to snow, then, 'SHUT UP B**CH" was plastered across my screen.

    I have heard of things like this, thought they were jokes.

    Cortana hasn't worked since. I keep getting, 'She can't hear me. Microphone problems, yet...…..

    I have run all tests, rebooted, checked EVERYTHING and still I just get, "WE don't understand", or similar.

    I am NOT accustomed to my hardware swearing at me.

    This is clearly, some bored programmer, hacker or some such, BUT, WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO SAY RE: MY PRIVACY?


    I listen every night to talk radio, 'Coast to Coast'. I have heard of this before many times. I am going to get on the list myself for broadcast if this is not resolved.

    I'm old, disabled, am very sweet, but DA*N, I can get cranky over stuff like this. I have NO MONEY for a Geek.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Typing is very hard with arthritis.

    ANY help will be appreciated. Tech support, reaching a live body is next to impossible.

  2. Dictation not working.

    Hello Lina,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Please provide some additional information, so that we can assist you better.

    1. Are you using dictation in Windows or Office application?
    2. Since when are you facing this issue?

    I suggest you to follow the below mentioned steps:

    Step 1: To dictate text:

    1. Open Speech Recognition by clicking the Start button, clicking All Programs, clicking Accessories, clicking Ease of Access, and then clicking Windows Speech Recognition.

    2. Say "start listening" or click the Microphone button to start the listening mode.

    3. Open the program you want to use or select the text box you want to dictate text into.

    4. Say the text that you want dictate.

    Step 2: You may refer Microsoft article related to Dictating text:

    Cortana hangs with Australian language HI T

    We would suggest performing these steps:

    • Go to Settings > Time & language >
      Language
      .
    • Select + Add Languages to add English (United States).
    • On the main Languages page, long press on English (Australia) and choose Remove. Afterwards, proceed restarting the phone by selecting the
      Restart phone button.
    On the next following steps, reverse back the process we did on the first 3 steps:

    • Select + Add Languages to add English (Australia) and proceed with the download prompt.
    • Again on the main Languages page, long press on English (United States) and choose
      Remove, and restart phone.
    • Once the phone has restarted with the correct English (Australia)
      language, go back to Settings > Extras > Hey Cortana, and begin training
      Cortana again.

    Let us know how it works.

    Regards.

  4. Vulgar language came upon my screen while dictating in Cortana, then she stopped working....

    can cortana be used to dictate text into Microsoft Word?

    Cortana cannot be used for dictation; however, you can press the windows logo key + H to open the dictation tool bar if you have windows 10. Then just start speaking. To stop dictation just say "Stop dictation" it works really well!

    Hope this helps!
