    For text-based help with Microsoft products without using voice, the following options are available:

    1. Use Microsoft Support chat
      • On a device where signing in is possible, go to the Microsoft Support site.
      • Search for “Get Help” or “Contact Support.”
      • Choose the relevant product (for example, Microsoft 365 or Office) and follow the prompts until the option to Chat with a support agent appears.
      • This provides real-time text chat without needing to speak.
    2. Use the Get Help app on Windows
      • Open the Get Help app from the Start menu.
      • Type a brief description of the issue.
      • When suggested help articles appear, scroll to the bottom and choose Contact support or similar.
      • Select Chat if offered, so communication stays text-only.
    3. Accessibility-specific support (text-based)
      • For accessibility-related questions (for example, using screen readers, magnifiers, or voice/eye input with Microsoft products), contact the Microsoft Disability Answer Desk. The team is trained on assistive technologies and can help in English, Spanish, French, and American Sign Language.
      • Go to the Microsoft Disability Answer Desk page to see all contact options available in the region, including chat where available.
      • Government, commercial, or enterprise customers can use the enterprise Disability Answer Desk.

    These options allow communication entirely through text, without needing to use voice.
