Speech Recognition Commands

[Guest]

Speech Recognition is not recognizing some of the in-dictation commands which
it should, in particular "forcenum" and "cap that." I tried the "add/delete
words" tool, but of course that only taught the system to type the commands
as text. Is there a way to train the system to recognize these voice commands?

Just a thought, but are they enabled in "Voice Commands"?

Bob:

Under "Dictation" is a check box for "Commands enabled in dictation." If
this is what you are thinking of, then, yes--they are enabled.

Actually down at the bottom on that same "Tab" there is a "Voice
Commands" button. Click that. That is where you configure the individual
"types" of commands "that will be enabled" by the checkbox you refer to.

Bob, all types of commands are checked under the "Voice Commands" button.

Hi all, - please help!

I have another question regarding speech recognition. Sorry to tack it on
to this one, but this system will let me reply, but won't let me start a new
question, so I have to do it this way.

I have windows XP, and love the speech recognition aspect - when it works.
It now only works in powerpoint, so I have to write (speak) everything in
ppt, then send it to word or cut and paste it into an e-mail. It's a real
pain, especially since I do a lot of writing. It used to work in my Outlook
e-mail, but no longer. In e-mail and in word, the little bubble thing that
usually says "listening" or whatever is totally blank. I DO have speech
checked on options in Outlook e-mail, but it still won't work there. Can
anyone help? I really want to use it more!

Thanks!!

Val

Do they work in any application at all, NotePad, MS Word, etc.?
Perhaps disabling the commands, Apply, restart the operating system,
ENable commands, Apply, and see if they start working.
