voice recognition for Word 2013?

[Clinton Stoutenburgh]

How do I get Word 2013 to do voice recognition. I don't really want to use Contra if that is avoidable. I think Contra uses Edge and Norton does not want me to do that.

Speech Recognition is configured through
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Speech Recognition
See if this helps at all

As to how much Cortana is integrated into this feature, I do not know.
