Skipping the keyboard? These apps help you use your voice to compose your documents in Windows 10
Table of contents:
You may have thought about using the Windows speech recognition function A useful option if we want to write a document and we don't want to use mouse keyboard. The problem may result when choosing the application that best suits our needs.
And there are different options on the market, all of them interesting, so I decided to choose the ones I consider most elegant when it comes to taking advantage of the recognition functions Windows VoiceSome may be missing, but these are the ones I like the most.
Windows Speech Recognition
Without having to exit Windows 10 we find a tool that allows us to use the voice recognition function. With support for different languages, it facilitates the one that comes integrated into the operating system and we do not have to install third-party applications.
The operation is more than decent, especially if we settle for something basic and we are not looking for great boasts in terms of benefits It is also free, so it can be ideal, at least to check how the voice recognition system works.
Google Docs
Continuing with options that avoid going through the checkout, now it is the turn of Google Docs and that is that the office suite of the Mountain Views company offers the option that allows to take advantage of Windows speech recognition, mind you, only in your word processor.
This option has in its favor that it does not require the installation of any program, since it is an online office suite. It will be the Google servers that are in charge of carrying out the entire process. A function with multilanguage support that allows writing texts through a simple interface that prevents us from having to put our fingers on the keyboard.
Speechnotes
Another free app is Speechnotes. As in the case of Google Docs, we are dealing with an online application that prevents us from having to carry out any installation on our equipment. If we have a network connection and a computer with limited space, it is the ideal option.
Graphically we are not going to come across a particularly striking utility and yet this does not detract from its attractiveness.In the right zone we find a series of commands and advice for writing documents and we only have to select the language to start the text-to-speech transcription by pressing the microphone button on the PC. As a curiosity, it has versions for Android and iOS.
Dragon Naturally Speaking
We are perhaps faced with one of the best-known options. An application that appears in fourth place on the list and that, yes, has a price that may seem high to many The home version has a price of 159 euros, which makes it an ideal option if we want a slightly more pro use of voice recognition.
This app also allows to automate a series of tasks by means of voice, so it is not only limited to writing documents. In this way we can from sending emails to carrying out searches on the net and all this with a fairly clear and accessible interface for all types of users.
These four options may be some of the most interesting to take advantage of the options of our equipment and use voice recognition. Which one do you usually use that is not included in the list?
