In the source's own words
“In addition to dictating your content, you can speak commands to add punctuation and enter special characters”
Dictate your emails in Outlook (Microsoft Support), Microsoft, Microsoft Support, 2026, 'What can I say?' section.
Open the original- What it measures
- Microsoft lists the commands for each supported language in a dropdown on the page, with a separate punctuation table for each language.
- What it does not show
- Outlook's command table is separate from the Word table in Microsoft's Dictate article, so the commands are not the same list in both apps.
