You can use the dictation key to dictate text instead of typing. This feature is provided by Windows and macOS and currently only available in select countries and languages. You will also need a microphone and a reliable internet connection.
Click here for a list of supported languages on Windows. And here for supported languages on MacOS.
As of August 2021, Microsoft Windows supported dictation languages were:
- Simplified Chinese
- English (Australia, Canada, India, United Kingdom)
- French (France, Canada)
- German (Germany)
- Italian (Italy)
- Portuguese (Brazil)
- Spanish (Mexico, Spain)
In some cases, the dictation key will only work when Logitech Options software is installed. You can download the software here.
Alternatively, you can customize the dictation key in Logitech Options to trigger another function. For instance, you can trigger “Microsoft Office Dictation” allowing you to dictate in Microsoft Word. To learn more, please see How to enable Microsoft Office Dictation in Logitech Options.
If you experience any typing issues, please see I tried to use the Microsoft Windows dictation feature but my language is not supported. Now my typing is garbled or incorrect for more help.
