00:00:11

to start. Click on new email.

00:00:13

And if necessary maximize the window,

00:00:16

click in the message composition area,

00:00:18

then navigate to the ribbon and click on the microphone icon.

00:00:21

If you don't see the icon, check in the three dots menu at the top right.

00:00:26

A small toolbar will appear, click on the microphone icon again.

00:00:30

This will allow you to immediately begin dictating your message.

00:00:34

You can also access settings help for dictation

00:00:37

or close the dictation toolbar from here.

00:00:40

If you click on settings,

00:00:41

you can modify the spoken language and choose the device that will

capture your voice such as your computer's microphone or a headset.

00:00:54

which will insert periods or commas at natural pauses in your speech.

you may need to manually correct your message,

00:01:24

but using this handy feature correctly will save you time when composing emails

00:01:29
