Using speech recognition
You can use speech recognition to interact with your tablet by voice. You can dictate
documents and emails or use voice commands to control programs.
•
Dictation mode
—With dictation mode, your tablet listens to everything you say and
converts your words to text. You can use dictation mode to enter text directly into any
document or text box.
•
Voice command mode
—With voice command mode, your tablet listens for specific
words that correspond to a list of available voice commands. You can use commands to
switch between programs, save documents, copy, paste, or undo.
