Anyone who:
1. suffers from the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or
2. can’t afford an assistant to type their papers and letters
will be interested in this tool: a free Speech Recognition tool on WORD.
All I had to do was train the Voice Recognition Wizard (Control Panel: Speech) so that the computer could familiarize itself with my pronunciation. I read a couple of texts the Wizard provided (the more training texts you read, the higher the accuracy of speech recognition). After 20 minutes or so of training, I opened WORD and dictated a text to my computer. I was very skeptical – but not for long: The tool recognized about 95% of my speech!
