Dictation in OneNote

The Dictate feature is available with the Learning Tools Add-in for OneNote 2016 and 2013. For best results you’ll need a good microphone (a headset will work best), and a quiet place without background noise.

1. If you haven’t yet, install Learning Tools for OneNote.

   

2. Open OneNote, then select Learning Tools > Dictate.

   

3. When you see the highlighted piece of text "Listening..." or a red circle appears over the Dictate button, begin speaking loudly and clearly.

4. To insert punctuation, say its name:

   Name	Punctuation
   period	.
   new line	inserts line break
   new paragraph	starts new paragraph
   comma	,
   question mark	?
   exclamation point or exclamation mark	!
   colon	:
   semicolon	;
   open quote	"
   close quote	"

5. When you're done talking, select the Dictate button again to stop the recording.
