Official documentation
Fluid dictation (Voice Access, Windows help)
Microsoft Support, 2026
Read the originalRead on October 16, 2026
- What it is
- Microsoft's support page for Fluid dictation, a feature of Voice Access on Copilot+ PCs. It describes the feature as correcting grammar, punctuation and filler words as the user speaks, and says the processing runs on-device.
- How much weight it carries
- Official vendor documentation, so reliable for what the feature does and where it is available. It describes Voice Access rather than the separate voice typing tool, and it does not give accuracy figures, so it cannot show how often filler words are removed correctly.
