Hi Alan,

If your mouse has, for example, given focus to a Window other than Word then the dictation input follows to that Window (i.e. it's
not Word only/Word specific).

If you're looking at a couple of other windows arranged on your desktop but you still have the typing cursor/ibar active in Word
then you could continue to dictate/type in Word (i.e. the dictation feature is available to supplement/replace typing in Word, nor
severable).

The language bar, either floating or with icons set to appear in the Windows Notification area would only be an indicator to you
that dictation is available in another app had the focus after you selected it to be the active Window.
