Instead of typing out written content, you can dictate it when writing or brainstorming. To start dictating, click the Talk&Type icon. On the left side of the screen, a red microphone will appear. Speak your text aloud and watch it appear on your screen. To stop dictating, click the red microphone. To start again, click the microphone icon on the left until it turns red. Say basic commands such as punctuation, new line, and new paragraph can help with formatting your writing.
