Dictate Your Presentation in PowerPoint
Dictation lets you use speech-to-text to author content in Office with a microphone and reliable internet connection. It's a quick and easy way to get your thoughts out, create drafts or outlines, and capture notes.
1. Go to Home > Dictate while signed into Microsoft 365 on a mic-enabled device.
2. Wait for the button to turn on and start listening.
3. Move your cursor to a placeholder to the slide notes and start speaking to see text appear.
4. Insert punctuation at any time by saying them explicitly.
5. Fix mistakes with keyboard without having to toggle the mic icon off.
