how do I set up the voice recognition thing on my laptop?

[Guest]

Do I need a separate microphone to do the voice recognition training on my
laptop? I actually want to record a scenario onto a cd and thought this tool
might help me do it but I have no idea how it works.

Hi Sheilah,

Can you explain a bit about what you have in mind when
you say 'recrod a scenrio onto a CD'?

The Speech to Text software that ships with MS Office
XP and Office 2003 will attempt to 'type for you' as
you speak in a Word document

you can also record a narration in a Powerpoint slide

A microphone built into the monitor may work but one
that is in a headset would likely give you more reliable results.
