Open the original- What it measures
- Microsoft's table maps each spoken phrase to the mark it inserts. The phrases are in Spanish, so you say them in Spanish while dictating Spanish text in Word.
- What it does not show
- The commands belong to Dictate in Word, not to the dictation built into macOS or Windows. Check the exact phrase in your own app, because command sets differ between products.
