What it measures
Microsoft's Windows 10 dictation page has one command table, with the action in the left column and the phrase to say in the right. This row is one of the rows in that table.
What it does not show
The page is an archived copy from 2020, and Microsoft's live page for the same content now lives at a different address. Windows 10 reached the end of support on October 14, 2025, so the phrases describe a system that no longer gets updates.
