Hello, I have one arm in a cast and typing is taking sooo long. I'd like to utilise the dictation in outlook however it won't work.  I get the following response "oops, there was a problem with Dictation.  There is a problem with your microphone.  Office cannot start capturing audio from the microphone".  I don't have a separate external microphone, thought the inbuilt one would work,  do I need another special microphone plugged in for this feature to work?  or what am I missing??  thankyou!!!
