How Do You Use Microsoft Speech Recognition?
Microsoft speech recognition can take the place of a personal secretary or dictation machine. This is really convenient if you spend a lot of time typing or writing. It can even help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. Plus, it’s just plain fun. You probably have all of the software that you need, even if you don’t have vista. It’s completely free to use too! Plugin your headset. You can get a headset with a microphone at any electronics store. These headsets can cost just a few dollars but go up in price from there. Start out with a cheaper headset just so you can figure out if you really want to use voice recognition software. A headset usually has two plugs on it, one with a microphone icon & the other with a headphone. Plug these into the corresponding jacks on your computer. The microphone plug is usually next to where you would plug a regular set of headphones into. Open Microsoft Word Go to the tools menu Click on Speech A prompt will come up asking for you to setup your microphone.
