Has anyone tried this?
I turned on Voice Typing in the Tools Menu. Then, I clicked on the microphone icon.
I thought that was all I had to do. NVDA went completely silent.
After I hit Escape two or three times, I came back to my document. Nothing I had spoken appeared.
I am pretty sure I am missing something.

Hi Ed,

You may need to grant Google permission to use your microphone. Try pressing F6 and seeing if a notification to that effect has appeared.
