As an office worker, you must be familiar with microsoft office software. Recently, Microsoft used Cortana's speech recognition smarts to create an app called Dictate. Dictate allows users to add text to Word, PowerPoint, and even Outlook just by speaking into a microphone. More details available in the following contents.

The app comes as part of Microsoft Garage, the company's studio for experimental applications that include other projects like the one-handed Word Flow keyboard, the news-aggregating News Pro, and even a facial recognition AI that identified dog breeds.  

Office also supported voice-to-text typing before now. Dictate just adds some new features, including support for 20 languages and new editing commands such as "new line", "delete", and "stop dictation. Another cool feature is real-time translation into over 60 languages. So, you could say something in English and have it immediately translated in French, Spanish, or whatever else you want.

According to the official announcement we can know Dictation uses the “state-of-the-art” speech recognition and artificial intelligence behind Cortana, the Bing Speech API, and Microsoft Translator. And Dictate now available as a free download for 32-bit and 64-bit Office. There's no guarantee if or when Microsoft ultimately will turn Dictate into a fully supported product as a Microsoft Garage app. Some Garage projects are terminated for lack of use or other reasons after some amount of time.
