What are the benefits of using dictation in Word?

Write 3x faster with your voice

The average person can type 30 words per minute (WPM) on the keyboard. With voice-typing, you can easily reach 90 to 120 WPM.

Using speech recognition software increases your speed by an average of 2x.

Perfect punctuation, automatically

Word's built-in dictation needs you to say 'comma', 'period', 'new line', etc. Voicy automatically adds punctuation to your text. No need to speak it out.

Natural sounding documents

Speaking our thoughts helps us write natural and simple to understand text. That is extra beneficial for writing important documents.

AI writing assistant

Voicy does more than transcription. You can use voice commands to rewrite a paragraph, change the tone, or clean up messy dictation without leaving Microsoft Word.

Pricing

Fair pricing policy

Our price will never be more than 20% above our total costs.

FAQ

How is Voicy different from Word's built-in Dictate feature?

Word's built-in Dictate button is useful for basic voice typing, but it is tied to Microsoft 365 features and can require more cleanup. Voicy gives you AI-powered talk-to-text in Microsoft Word with clean punctuation, grammar correction, and editing commands, and it also works across other apps on your computer.

How much does Voicy cost?

Voicy has a free trial so you can test Word dictation before choosing a plan. Paid plans are $8.49/month, $82/year, or $260 lifetime.

Is my dictation private? Do you store what I say?

Voicy uses cloud-based transcription, but it does not store your voice recordings or transcriptions after processing. Your Word document stays in Word, and your audio is processed only to turn your speech into text.

Can I use talk to text in Microsoft Word with Voicy?

Yes. Voicy works in the Microsoft Word desktop app and Word Online, so you can talk to text in Word instead of typing long documents by hand. On desktop, Voicy runs in the background; in Word Online, you can use the Voicy browser extension beside your document.

Does Voicy work with Word 2019, Word 2021, and Microsoft 365?

Yes. Voicy works with Microsoft 365 Word, Word 2021, Word Online, and older desktop versions of Word on Windows and Mac. That means you can use speech to text in Word even if your version does not include the built-in Dictate button, and you are not limited to Win+H Voice Typing on Windows.

What languages does Voicy support for Word dictation?

Voicy supports over 50 languages including English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Russian, Dutch, and many more. Language detection is automatic — you can even switch languages mid-sentence while writing in Word.

Can I dictate long documents in Word with Voicy?

Yes. Voicy is built for extended writing. Whether you are dictating a short email or a 10-page report, Voicy maintains 99%+ accuracy throughout. Many writers and students use Voicy to dictate entire essays and thesis chapters.

Is Voicy better than Windows Voice Typing (Win+H) for Word?

Usually, yes, if Word is where you do serious writing. Windows Voice Typing is a good free starting point, but Voicy is better for longer Word documents because it gives you cleaner text, automatic punctuation, and AI commands for rewriting and editing.
