Dictate Into Microsoft Word on Mac and Windows
Use SuperSpeech to dictate Word documents at 3x typing speed. Works with Word 365, Word 2021/2019, and Word for Mac — no plugin required.
SuperSpeech dictates into Microsoft Word the same way you type — via the OS input layer. There is no Office plugin to install, no macro to configure, and no add-on to buy. Open Word, position your cursor, press your SuperSpeech hotkey, and speak. Text appears in real time with correct punctuation and capitalization.
How to dictate in Word
Five steps to your first dictated paragraph:
- 1. Install SuperSpeech on your Mac or Windows PC
- 2. Activate with your license key
- 3. Open a Word document
- 4. Press your SuperSpeech hotkey (default Fn+Space on Mac)
- 5. Speak naturally — text appears at the cursor
Supported Word versions
SuperSpeech works with every modern Word version because it does not rely on Microsoft APIs. Tested with Word 365 (Mac + Windows), Word for Mac 2021/2019, Word 2021/2019/2016 on Windows, and Word on iPad via Universal Control.
Tips for Word-specific workflows
A few tricks to get the most out of dictation in Word:
- Use push-to-talk for quick paragraph insertions
- Use toggle mode for dictating long sections
- Add firm-specific terminology to custom dictionary (case names, legal Latin)
- Grammar correction handles punctuation — no need to say "comma" or "period"
- Dictate into Track Changes for collaborative editing
Formatting and commands
SuperSpeech focuses on text input, not formatting. For bold, italics, tables, or headings, use Word shortcuts after dictating (Cmd+B / Ctrl+B for bold, etc.). If you need spoken formatting commands like Dragon has ("bold that"), that is on the roadmap — for now, dictate prose and format with keyboard shortcuts.
