I posted 6 days ago but got no response so I am trying again...

I have Vista and Office 2003.

I would like to dictate to a text box on an Access form or to Word and have
my dictation converted to text.

Has anyone used it? Does it work well? Is it faster than typing? Is it
accurate after it has been trained? Can it be used in both Access forms and
Word? Which microphone is best?

Advice on ease of use and best methods of implementation would be greatly
appreciated.

TIA

Guy
 
I have done this using Dragon Naturally Speaking, in both XP and Vista, and
in several versions of Access. A good data entry person can easily outpace
voice to text, but for most of us, once the system is "trained" it will add
the equivalent of about 60 to 80 wpm. Much faster when using presaved macros
which can enter entire paragraphs pr more of text. I use mine with a mouse
instead of tabbing, either verbally or with a keyboard.

Dragon Naturally Speaking works in every Office program.
 
Can you be more specific about how to implement Dragon Naturally Speaking in
a form so it feeds an underlying table? I am really a novice at this.
 
Thanks for your reply. Instead of Dragon Naturally Speaking, have you ever
tried using the built in Voice Recognition software in Vista? Does it work?
If so, I do not have to buy an additional product.
