FAQ
Does Microsoft Word have speech to text?
Yes. Word's Dictate button (Home → Dictate) works in Microsoft 365 and Word for the web. Voicy adds AI grammar fixes, voice editing and works in Word 2019/2021 too.
How do I dictate in Word?
Click Home → Dictate in Microsoft 365, or press your Voicy shortcut in any Word version, then speak. Voicy adds punctuation automatically.
How is Voicy different from Word's built-in Dictate feature?
Word's built-in Dictate works in supported desktop versions and Word for the web, with punctuation controls that depend on language. Voicy adds AI editing commands and the same dictation workflow in older Word versions and 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 does not store your voice recordings or transcriptions after processing. Standard transcription is cloud-based, and offline dictation in the desktop apps keeps your audio on your computer. 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, Voicy lets you dictate directly into your document with cleaner punctuation and fewer manual edits.
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 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.
