Dictate feature in Microsoft Word? The 300 minute limit is very limiting! (Microsoft Q&A), Microsoft Community moderator, Microsoft Q&A (Microsoft Learn), 2023, Answer by a Microsoft Community moderator, 2023-11-07.

What it measures: A user asked whether Word's dictation could go beyond 300 minutes a month. The moderator replied with the limit and sent the request to Microsoft's feedback forum. The reply describes uploaded files, which is the Transcribe feature, not live Dictate.
What it does not show: The answer is from 2023 and the moderator is not a product owner. The moderator says developers had not removed the limit, but that statement is not a policy. Check Microsoft's current Transcribe article before you rely on the figure.
