Just tested. It will put the dictation in the currently active application and cursor location. It will also inform you if dictation is fully supported in the app. For example, it told me this for Notepad++. While it transcribed what I said, I could not use a command like 'Select All'.

It might act like a keyboard, and type wherever the cursor is, like a USB barcode reader

I don’t have a windows machine so can’t test, but I would just try it and see what happens.
