Question

How can I use speech to text in Microsoft Teams?

Nate Smith 80

Hey Microsoft,

Among many other things, Teams has become my internal work phone. Imagine that!

However, I'm wondering why, since I'm sitting here with my headset on and texting with co-workers, why I can't utilize speech-to-text in Teams. Seems like a no brainer.

One of your biggest competitors, Apple, has this capability in iPhone texting (where it used used a lot).

Is Microsoft not able to implement such technology? We could use the productivity boost.

Thank you.

You can use Microsoft voice inside of teams. It's part of the Windows operating system.

Hi @Nate Smith

Currently, the ability to use speech-to-text in Teams chats isn't supported. To get this feature more quickly, I have found feedback in Teams User Voice, and you could vote for it. Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future.

have tried this, but find it quite buggy. stops listening unexpectedly, and also misses out words.

Another workaround is I have an Android phone, load teams on your phone and use the speech to text on your phone. Not ideal, but that is what I do.
