new xp home edition, seems microsoft's speech recognition is not on the
system. Where can I get it?
 
Speech recognition??? Do you mean when the PC "speaks" the text back to you?
Or do you mean when you speak into the microphone and it is converted to words
(text?)

XP never had any method of "listening" to your spoken words and have them
converted into text words.

Two older computers, one a tablet and the other a sony desktop, both had
speech recognition (speech to text) activated by the "speech" icon in control
panel. This new home-xp does not. Both the references given assume that it
can be added by installing from

quoting

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.
2. Click Change or Remove Programs, click Microsoft Office XP, and then
click Change.
3. Click Add or Remove Features, and then click Next.
4. Under Features to install, double-click Office Shared Features.
5. Double-click Alternative User Input, click Speech, click the down arrow,
and then click Run from My Computer.

But in my case there is no "alternative user input" option. So I am still
stuck. I really apreciate the concern.

You might want to post to an Office newsgroup since this feature comes with
Office, not the XP OS. Here is a list of MS public newsgroups:
