After installation, the Voice Comment icon (looks like a tiny cassette) is found on the main toolbar above the ribbons. Paul Hamilton has created downloadable instructions for installing the Voice Comment option. If there is a Voice Comment option for Word X on the Mac, please add the information here.
The Voice Comment can be used to add voice comments to a page. A teacher might use voice comments to record instructions, pronunciations, definitions, prompts to use reading strategies or other supports. A student might use voice comments to add notes, questions, or to answer test questions.
Click on the Voice Comment icon to record a Voice Comment that will appear as a little speaker icon on the page. You can reposition the speaker icon by right-clicking the icon and selecting Format from the Context Menu; go to the Layout Tab and click Tight and you will be able to move the icon. You can also re-size the icon by dragging its corner.
Here's a little video I made to show how a student might use the free app Word Talk to read a test question and the Voice Comment feature to answer the test question.
