I figured out how to turn dictation on and use it anywhere that I would be able to type but it is definitely a workaround on a Mac. For ADA compliance one would assume that the ability to dictate would be built into any Microsoft application.

Yes, this is a wonderful discovery for me, dictation in teams on a desktop is already supported by MS Teams.
You can dictate into Teams by following these suggestions
First, you'll need to see if there is a little keyboard icon in the lower right section of your screen.
If there is, click on it and then click the microphone icon. That will allow you to dictate wherever your mouse pointer is situated.If the keyboard icon isn't visible to you down in the lower right area of your screen near the volume and internet icons, just right-click somewhere along that area, a list of toolbar options will appear, then select the Show Touch Keyboard Button.

Please add a dictate function for Teams Chat!!! I just had shoulder surgery and can't type for 5 weeks, but I need to do my job. This would save lots of time and miss-types. To get around this I will use my apple devices.

Actually - I just found out you can do this with Windows Key + H. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/use-dictation-to-talk-instead-of-type-on-your-pc-fec94565-c4bd-329d-e59a-af033fa5689f#:~:text=To%20start%20dictating,%20select%20a%20text%20field%20and,button%20on%20the%20touch%20keyboard%20to%20start%20dictating.

I can't believe this isn't a feature in Teams. Comments on this go all the way back to 2018 and as stated, this is an accessibility issue for numerous disabilities. Fortunately my interest is just for convenience because I am tired of typing all day in the app that is supposed to make it easy to communicate quickly and frequently with multiple people all day long. I don't know how features are priorities for development but this is a significant miss in the list!

Please add the exact same function that is in Outlook 365. In the ribbon there is a Dictate button with a picture of a microphone. Copy that code to Teams Chat

speech to text is a must of Teams chat! This is a basic functionality that needs to be added to streamline and efficiently have Teams conversations throughout the work day.

please solve this ticket as soon as possible. as an organisation , our employees that relies on Dragon naturally speaking are not adopting the use of Teams because of the non-compatibility between the two softwares.

I tried the [windows + h] and I got a message saying "dictation isn't fully supported in this app". It didn't work very well.

You can use Windows 10 Dictation service feature. It needs to be enabled in windows settings (press [windows-icon]+h)
To use in teams, invoke dictation service (press [windows-icon]+h), a mic will appear on top of screen > put the cursor in reply box > press space to clear the backgroung instruction text > start dictating.If you want to start dictating again, press mic on top of the screen and repeat the process

My son is junior doing all virtual school through Teams, he just had a bad injury and left hand cannot type. I am really surprised he can't dictate in Teams and is having to use another program and copy and paste to communicate with his teachers, I thought for sure that functionality would be there! :(

Please add! Particularly during the pandemic and more work from home staff, constantly typing in Teams is taking a toll on wrists. Thanks!
