jackieman,

I have Office 2010 installed and I have read the suggested article, which seemed to be about troubles with Word 2010.  But this problem occurs in anything,Word, Notepad, Word Pad, Outlook, One Note, etc.

Speech Recognition worked wonderfully well when I first installed Win7. &nbsp;Now it has deteriorated to such a degree that it is more trouble than it is worth. &nbsp;It doesn't respond to 'Start/Stop Listening', the List Box of suggestions of phrases just ignores me, the little desktop control doesn't work, and the text is only about 50% accurate. In short, it's useless.<br />
<br />
I have bought a new headset (which works fine in other applications), I have set it up in the Speech Recognition Tools, and I've done the voice training.<br />
<br />
Any clues?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Problems with Speech Recognition in Windows 7

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Windows 7

Voice or speech recognition includes methodologies and technologies that enable the recognition and translation of spoken language into text by computers and computerized devices. It is also known as "automatic speech recognition" (ASR), "computer speech recognition", or just "speech to text" (STT). Voice recognition applications include voice user interfaces such as voice dialling (e.g. "Call home"), call routing (e.g. "I would like to make a collect call"), appliance control, search, simple data entry, preparation of structured documents, speech-to-text processing, and aircraft (usually termed Direct Voice Input).

Voice Recognition

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.
