Is there a dictate button in the new Outlook?

The current outlook 365 has a Dictate button. Is there one for the new Outlook? If so, I can not find it.

    Hi GaryK4,

    Unfortunately, the Voice/Dictate button is not currently available in the New Outlook for Windows.

    However, you can still utilize the dictation feature by using the Windows dictation tool. Simply press the Windows key + H on your keyboard while in an email or other text field in Outlook to open the dictation tool for dictating your message.

    Use voice typing to talk instead of type on your PC - Microsoft Support

      Hi Leon! I hope you're still around cuz i need help. I suffer from Parkinson's which makes it a nightmare trying to type any document with tremors in your hand.

       

      2 days ago i was able to dictate an email to my best friend. I open Outook this morning to send another only to find no microphone. WTF? Can you help please? Also im tech challenged. Im using a Samsung Galaxy S8+. TIA! Dottie
