Hi All,


Is there a keyboard command for starting and stopping dictation or voice 
commands in Windows 10 Creators?


I remember setting dictation up in an earlier version of Windows, maybe 
Windows 8. What I'm pretty sure I recall is using a keyboard command to 
start and stop dictating, similar to the Mac. Voice recognition was 
pretty bad, so I didn't keep it up.


I've been thinking about trying dictation again, but I'm not finding the 
right information. I know that if you press enter on the Start Listening 
button, which is next to the search box (i.e., after you pres the 
Windows key), the computer starts listening. That seems to work for me 
so I can give Windows commands, like "Open Thunderbird," but I'm not 
sure how it works for dictation. I've also read that pressing Windows+c 
puts Cortana in listening mode, but I don't think that's working, or 
maybe I'm just not understanding.


Any ideas or help pages on using the keyboard to start/stop dictation 
in, say, an email or Word file.


Thanks in advance.


Ciao
