I have the same problem, the key stroke does not work. Microfone is activated since I can use cortana without problems. I think the dictation feature is just for some selected users.

Hi

It may well be that the microphone is not defined as your default recording device.  Try the following:

1 Press the windows key to open the Cortana search box and type in ‘sound card’ (without the quotes.

2. From the list of suggestions press enter on ‘Change sound card settings, control panel’

3. In the dialog that opens, press Control+tab to move to the Recording tab

4. Press down arrow to microphone in the list control

5. Tab down to properties and press enter

6. Tab to ‘Device  Usage Use this device’ and ensure it is enabled.

7 Tab to OK and press enter, then tab to OK again on the previous dialog box

Cheers

Chris 

Thanks. I do have a microphone.

Hi, David,

 

I just got it but I can't get it to dictate. Do I have to have a microphone?

Wow, Rosemarie!

If you press:

Windows+H, you hear a sound, and you can start dictating. When you stop, you hear a different sound, and you can read what you dictated.

I am dictating this email right now.

I am just talking out loud, after I pressed that command.

Well, let us see how well this dictation did!

This is a great feature of 1709!

I can’t wait until you get it!

Oh wow! I haven't gotten the new creator update yet but that's great that NVDA and narrator work so well with it.

Hi all!

I got the Fall Creators 1709 of win10 yesterday in my updates.

It downloaded and installed without a hitch. It took 90 minutes to download, but it took two hours to install. It got stuck at 70 percent for an hour, but I just waited patiently, and it finished.

Wow, I am using NVDA version

Version: master-14532,58e1946e

And it is so snappy in Edge, that I can’t believe it. NVDA is working better in this 1709, than it ever has. I just want everyone to know that NVDA is so snappy as well in file explorer. It is much snappier when I arrow through ffiles and folders in different areas of file explorer. The Mail app is working great with NVDA.

Narrator, is very snappy with MS Mark. I used Narrator in Edge, and it works well.

When you get 1709, you will love how well NVDA works with it.

Well I got it on my i5 quad gen4 which I updated bios last month and my

i5 duel hp 7th gen this morning though the first one had 2 cu updates

after that but the desktop one worked as expected.

 

I did have adobe flash, java and google updates to contend with but

nothing else.
