Open the original- What it measures
- Microsoft's voice typing support page has a separate Windows 10 section describing dictation, which is distinct from Windows 11 voice typing. Its command table covers only US English.
- What it does not show
- Basic text, symbols, letters and numbers dictate in more languages than commands do. Windows 10 reached end of support on October 14, 2025, so this section describes a platform that no longer receives security updates.
