Basic typing handwriting và speech windows 10

Did you know you can talk to Windows to issue commands, open applications, dictate text, and perform other tasks?

You can do that in Windows 10 through Cortana, but you can also talk to Windows 10 and previous versions of Windows using the built-in speech recognition. Or dictate text on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update or later.

After teaching Windows to understand the sound of your voice, you can then talk to the OS to get it to respond to your commands. The speech-recognition feature can be especially helpful for people with disabilities who can't use the keyboard or mouse. But it's available to anyone who'd like to try talking to Windows instead. The feature even serves up a reference guide so you know what commands and other tasks you can throw at Windows via your voice.

More recent versions of Windows 10 also offer a dictation feature you can use to create documents, emails, and other files via the sound of your voice. Once the dictation is active, you can dictate text as well as punctuation marks, special characters, and cursor movements.

Let's check out how to use speech recognition and dictation in Windows.
