Members of the Bing application development team wrote on the blog: "If you're a Windows Phone developer, you're probably familiar with the voice recognition function in Windows Phone. Users touch the microphone icon. , speaking into the mic and the text will appear on the screen, now you can use the same function on Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows RT through the free Bing Speech Recognition Control tool. "
