Tips via
Microsoft
Dictate
(in Word/PowerPoint):
Saves time when:
I am journaling or thinking my
notes aloud, by myself or with
colleagues.
I don’t know how to type a
word correctly, word does it
for me.
Transcribe (in Word):
Saves time when:
I show a video to my
students and then I would
need to transcribe an audio
file to text, to use as a gap-
fill exercise/turn it into
jigsaw test/comprehension
exercise or any other
creative activity.

2. Editor:
Saves time when:
I need to make sure
that my work is the
best possible version,
without the need to
resort to colleagues
to proof read my
work, or to other
apps outside word,
since it’s inbuilt.
It shows you the
areas that you need
to improve on, and
offers suggestions
until your work is
perfect.

3. Image Creator in Bing
It's powered by an advanced version of the
DALL∙E .
Saves time when:
I need to create an image for my presentations
and handouts that best suit my requirements,
rather than searching endlessly for the most
suitable image.
It's also a great tool to use with students to be
creative or enhance language learning and
communication.
