HOBOKEN, N.J., Dec. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging
Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and Microsoft expert,
explains the updated voice dictation capabilities of Outlook in a
new article. The informative article first explains how to access
basic voice dictation features.
The author then discusses several voice commands used to easily
add recipients, tag contacts, and send an email hands-free. He then
explains two options for adding punctuation. He concludes by
reviewing new dictation capabilities for Outlook Mobile, including
AI to determine the context of voice commands.
"This past summer, Microsoft announced new voice commands that
take email dictation in Outlook to the next level," stated
Greg Smith, Vice President of
Services Delivery at Messaging Architects.
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Work Faster with
Email Dictation in Outlook."
Accessing Dictation Features
"First, a quick review of the basics. To access the dictation
features, create a new email or reply to an existing email. Then
click the Dictate button (with the microphone icon) on the Message
tab. Start talking. Speak clearly and conversationally. You can
pause when you need to. And if you pause longer than 20 seconds,
Outlook will pause the dictation feature automatically."
Use @mention to Tag a Contact
"In a similar fashion, users can highlight a contact using the
voice command "at mention [name]." This prompts several actions.
First, Outlook adds the mentioned contact to the To: line of the
email if they were not included previously."
Effortless Punctuation
"Users have two options for adding punctuation. Many users have
grown accustomed to saying the name of the punctuation mark as part
of the dictated sentence. For instance, 'Remember to order plates
comma cups and napkins period' results in, 'Remember to order
plates, cups and napkins.'"
Enhanced Email Dictation in Outlook Mobile
"In June, Microsoft announced new capabilities for Outlook
mobile. Currently available for IOS, these features will soon come
to Android devices, as well. In addition to email dictation, the
new capabilities use AI to determine the context of your voice
commands and respond appropriately."
