Motion Dashboard are appropriate for your setting.

play. The TIP appears.

Using Speech Recognition: Setting Up Dictation or Voice Commands.
Once you activate speech recognition, depending on your work setting
(single-person office or small or large meeting) and what you plan to do
(dictate, use voice commands), you may want to change the Motion
Dashboard microphone angle from Medium (the default) to either Narrow
or Wide. You may then also want to calibrate the direction of the
microphones.
1. Open the Motion Dashboard and select the desired angle.
2. (Optional) To use either Medium or Narrow Angle to dictate from a
direction other than directly in front of the display, tap Calibrate and
read through the calibration script.
NOTE: Calibration will skew the angle at which the
microphones detect your voice while keeping the same
relative angle of acceptance.
3. To start the Speech recognizer, open the TIP window.
4. Select Dictation (to convert spoken words into typed text) or
Commands (to use your voice to enter commands, such as “Enter,”
“Save,” “Open”).
NOTE: For more information about using this feature and for
available voice commands, see the Windows Help and
Support Center where you can search for topics about speech
recognition and training. Also available are the speech
tutorials. To find the speech tutorials, select Start > Help; then
Support > Welcome to Tablet PC > Tablet PC Tutorials.
Helpful Hints: Dictating and Recording
