Fact · Dictation on Windows
Microsoft says Windows App can redirect the microphone of your local device into a remote session, along with the camera, storage, location, audio and the clipboard.

In the source's own words
“You can redirect the microphone, camera, storage and the location of your local devices, as well as audio (sound), and clipboard to your remote session.”
Redirect local devices, audio, and folders in Windows App, Microsoft Learn, n.d., Section Redirect devices, audio, and clipboard.
Open the original- What it measures
- Redirection sends the local device's microphone into the session on the remote PC, so audio from the phone can reach software running on that PC.
- What it does not show
- The page does not say whether Windows voice typing or Word's Dictate works through a redirected microphone. Test a sentence in the session before you rely on it.
