Default Freeware or Low Cost Speech Recognition for XP

After following the steps (2-4b for XP) outlined in my last post, you will
then be able to configure both Speech Recognition and Text-to-Speech by
going to ;

"Control Panel" "Speech"

You may use the "Train Profile" button on the "Speech Recognition" page to
teach the computer how to recognise your unique speech patterns to improve
accuracy.

Then you will be able to use programs such as Office Word to dictate a
letter.

You can control elements such as turning on the microphone for dictation,
by right-clicking on an empty area of the TaskBar, and selecting "Toolbars"
"Language Bar".


When the "Language Bar" appears on your TaskBar, click on the microphone
icon to start dictation in M$ Word.

You can also access the "Speech" Control Panel from the "Language Bar" by
clicking on the "Speech Tools" icon and selecting "Options".
