I have been using Tbird for many years but am new to Windows 10 on a very up todate fast Dell laptop. Can I dictate to Tbird using the Windows 10 Voice Recognition app?

You can. I did play around with it and get it to work. I do not use it regularly so detailed instructions are not really in my head. Have you tried it an it did not work?

Matt, I have little expertise with Windows 10 and dont even know where to start. It is good to know it can be done. I will read up on voice recog in Windows 10 and see what I can do but any hints as to where to start would be appreciated. Thanks Pete

Basically I just plugged in my headset, turned on the windows stuff (voice recognition) and is just worked. I do have it set up to click the microphone with the mouse to turn it on and off though.

Today when I tried it again the recognition was very poor last time it was like 99% so I guess the difference must be me :) Too much gravel after Christmas, or I spoke to softly.
