Just tried it. It's pretty cool. As a blogger, it will definitely help me more. Because I am a fan of speaking but struggle to constantly put thoughts on paper. Now I can "write" a whole blog post by speaking :) Some things are different from the other apps - including, this one knows or guesses when the sentence has finished. So if I say "full stop" it actually writes it out, unlike other apps, which inserts the full-stop when you say it. I like this. Funny enough, having coming out of dictating couple of paragraphs, now writing out this comment feels so cumbersome :D

@freeman_faiz That's weird, cause on the page it says that "full stop" should enter a period. I'd put in a bug report personally.

@razkarmi So, it's going to be complete garbage, then? Because Cortana on Xbox One is so bad it's actually fun to use. Saying things that make complete sense, and then getting a sentence that makes no sense whatsoever. It's fun seeing how the other team reacts!

This is great from an accessibility standpoint! My father suffers from severe carpal tunnel — hopefully this will make his report writing easier.

Last year, I spent a few hundred dollars on DragonAnywhere on my iPhone. It showed a lot of promise in the very beginning. But as I used it, it "de-evolved." So I'm excited to this one from Microsoft a try. Of course, we all know that Windows had the clunky-ist dictation app built into Windows for years. But since this is from Garage, which brought "What Dog" to iPhone users, I figure Dictate will be a game changer.

Cool product. Definitely doesn't have the pizzazz of an Apple/Snap launch though 🤔

Tried it. Not as good, fast and practical as simple dictation on a Mac.
