Q: Looking for a voice to text microphone to plug into PC that will auto-type my voice into my MS Office Word 2016 documents. Will this work? Do I need any software?

A: The feature that your asking about is contained in MS Office Word 2016 and it's called Dictation, it's not something the Microphone does, but rather something your computer and it's softer can do for you. I Use my microphone to dictate to MS Word, as well as to insert spoken text into search engines and websites. The accuracy of the words being typed is dependent on the quality of the microphone. This Insignia USB Microphone is more than adequate for that task. If you find you need more accuracy, there is a feature within windows 10, speech learning, which you can enable so that the computer learners your speech pattern and improves as you correct it. Within Windows 10, goto "Settings" and "Easy of Access". On the left hand panel, scroll down to the "Interaction" section, and select "Speech" to setup the feature. Once you activate it you be able to turn the feature on and off, using the key combination by pressing "Microsoft Key" (the one with the windows symbol) and the Letter "H", a tap of the "H" is all that is needed. Once you've gotten that far, you can learn to use command like "Period", it makes a (.) or the command "Return", which produces a carriage return in your document. The Microsoft Site has many more helpful tips on the subject. Best Regards.

Q: Would this work with a Google Chromebook?

A: Yes, it can work with Google Chromebook.

Q: I am a recording secretary, can I attach this mic to my laptop and record on windows 10, in a room that holds at least 50 people, How many feet can this mic record? I know I will have to review and correct spelling, but my hand get cramp up from writing.

A: Position yourself 1.5 ft. (0.46 m) in front of the microphone with the Insignia logo and mute button facing you.
