It’s really more for writing several paragraphs at a time, not on-the-spot text input. Once open, it floats above the current window-you use it on top of whatever you are writing into. Rather, it’s a separate program called Speech Recognition and it is hidden in the All Apps section of Surface RT-you have to open it when you want to use it (I pinned it to the Start screen for easy access).
Why? Because there’s no little microphone button next to all your input fields like on those devices. It is not as easy to use as dictation is on the iPhone, iPad, or Android. However, not everyone is going to like Surface RT’s dictation app. I’ve used it to write emails in the Mail app, and to write long articles in Word. The dictation feature is an app that can be used to enter text and commands in nearly any app or program in the Surface RT. And I promised to post a bit more about it-so here goes.
I mentioned in my last post about the Surface RT that, contrary to some reviews, it does have Dictation, and I used it to write that entire 2000 word article.
