Universal speech-to-text for Windows OS?

4 pointsby 4midoriabout 5 years ago
I&#x27;m tired of typing, and it&#x27;s really getting to my wrists. Yes, I have a fully ergonomic setup.<p>Speech-to-Text works pretty well via Google&#x27;s API, for example, I can use this https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dictation.io&#x2F;speech But this requires a lot of copypasta.<p>But what I&#x27;d really like is a little prompt [] where I can talk and have it insert text wherever the cursor is, in any program - web browser form fields, MS Word, etc. Does this exist?

This is built-in. Select the text field and press Windows-H. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;help&#x2F;4042244&#x2F;windows-10-use-dictation" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;help&#x2F;4042244&#x2F;windows-10-...</a><p>It&#x27;s pretty good for me out of the box, but if it&#x27;s too inaccurate you can go to Control Panel\Ease of Access\Speech Recognition and click &quot;Train Your Computer to Better Understand You&quot;.

Note to other readers - Windows&#x27; speech to text, while function, has inferior voice recognition to The Goog.
