Windows 10 has built-in dictation. Instead of wearing out your fingers,
just speak what you want to write. Here's how.

To start dictating, select a text field, such as CC's post box, and press
the Windows Key + H to open the dictation toolbar. Then say whatever’s
on your mind.  To stop dictating at any time while you're dictating, say
“Stop dictation."

Note: To use dictation, your PC needs to be connected to the internet.

Dictation commands

Use dictation commands to tell your PC what to do, like “delete that” or
“select the previous word.” The following table tells you what you can say.
If a word or phrase is in bold, it's an example. Replace it with similar words
to get the result you want.

Dictating letters, numbers, punctuation and symbols

You can dictate most numbers and punctuation by saying the number
or punctuation character. To dictate letters and symbols, say "start
spelling." Then say the symbol or letter, or use the ICAO phonetic
alphabet.
To dictate an uppercase letter, say “uppercase” before the letter. For
example, “uppercase A” or “uppercase alpha.” When you’re done, say
“stop spelling.”

Punctuation characters and symbols you can dictate.
