Dictation is already available in Word 365 for Windows. Office for Mac users have a ‘voice to text’ feature available in the MacOS.
Word and OneNote online with Dictation is available free to everyone, no Office 365 subscription required.

On the far right of Home tab is the Dictation option. Just like Word 365 for Windows five languages fully available:
- Chinese (PRC)
- English (Canada)

Plus others as ‘preview’ languages which may not be 100% but work OK for us.
