Speech Recognition Cloud is voice dictation software for Windows 10 and Windows 11. You speak, and your words appear at the cursor in whatever application you are working in — Microsoft Word, Outlook, a browser, your practice management or clinical software. There is no enrolment step and no voice training of any kind.
