Key notes
Microsoft has releasedWindows 11 Insider Preview Build 23466, and it added a feature on how to correct dictation mistakes in Microsoft Word.
This is more than welcome because the Redmond-based tech giant has also announced thatyou can transcribe and translate your audio files with Windows Copilot, starting in June.
So, it seems that Microsoft is keen on adding quality features that will improve the overall experience of writing or managing texts.
For example, this new feature in Build 23466 aims to make text authoring even easier with voice access. And based on the preview, you can easily correct dictation mistakes with… your voice.
How can I do that, you may ask?
Here’s how you can correct dictation mistakes in Microsoft Word
What you need to know is that you’ll use correction commands to correct mistakes. Microsoft has put out a list of commands that you can use.
If you’re dealing with non-standard words, such as names or topics, you can use this feature to dictate the right spelling of these words.
You should know all the words and phrases you dictate will be added to the Microsoft Word dictionary, and they will show up the next time you use them.
However, as Microsoft is rolling this feature on the Insider Build, it will be the subject of changes in the future, depending on how users will react to it. So there will be a lot of versions before you can correctly correct dictation mistakes in Microsoft Word.
