Okay I am so old school. Which will become obvious with my questions to those here but looking for suggestions. I purchased the Dell TSV similar to todays TSV (though I am sure different speed/processor/memory) about a year ago. It runs Windows 8. Anyway is there a built in dictation device that can be used or app at the Google store whatever...or does a software program like Dragon I've seen advertised need to be purchased? I've seen tablets offered with speaking to do google search or 'type' email.
Appreciate help/suggestions!

You are talking about dictation system that you will use to dictate that will automatically transcribe? Is that right? That will most likely be something you will need to purchase as a specialty item for add-on but make sure your computer is compatible with whatever you purchase, unless your purchase already has a dictation system. I assume what you are wanting is voice recognition that transcribes as you dictate? Right? Wrong?

This is information about speech recognition using Window 8.1 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/using-speech-recognition
Does your laptop have a built in mic?

Thank you both for responses. See I'm not familiar enough to be clear about this
Okay, not really voice commands (ie 'go to facebook' I'm not even on facebook!...did I say old school? I want something that I can dictate to a word document for example (ie letters I want to send, information I come across and want to talk in the information instead of typing it to a word doc. etc) I assume the Dell has a mic built in but of course I am not sure as I never used it. Color me SO GREEN! Just thought I get a little more with it in the new year but tech savvy I ain't!
