I want to Dictate in my Word document but when a I go to home there isn't a dictate button so how can I dictate in Word. I've done this before but can't remember how?

I no longer have 2010 on my computer (and miss it).
I do not believe it has a dictate function.


You can use Word Online to ditcate.

I believe Word 2016 was the first version to support some version of the Dictate feature. See Dictate your documents in Word - Microsoft Support and the screen shot below.

Windows logo key + H is for the Windows "voice typing," I believe; see Use voice typing to talk instead of type on your PC - Microsoft Support.
