Speech Recognition technology allows you to control your computer by speaking. When you talk, the software will intelligently decide whether to convert your voice into text, such as to allow you to dictate documents and e-mails, or whether you have given a command that requires it to take an action.
How to Setting Up in WIndows 7
- Plug-in your microphone.
- Click Start
- Search for “speech recognition” and click on Windows Speech Recognition
- If this is your first time using Speech Recognition (it likely is, since you’re reading this), a Microphone Setup Wizard will pop-up, asking you to do some stuff
- Follow the instructions, and after your microphone is set up.
Warning: This might take 15 mins – 30 mins. But if you’re new to this, don’t worry, Windows will walk you though. - Try to pay attention during the tutorial, it’ll tell you everything you need to use Window’s Inbuilt Features
- After you’re done the tutorial, just click the microphone on the Windows Speech Recognition Bar, and watch the Microphone button glow blue. Now you’re ready to speak… to your computer!
That’s all there is to it. A few words of caution though:
- Dictating to your computer might sound easy, but you’re computer certainly isn’t a human, and chances are that it will only understand you most of the time, missing difficult to interpret words.
- Be careful when you are talking to someone else and your microphone is turned on. I find that composing your dictation in a program such as Wordpad or Microsoft Word is better than composing in a program like outlook or in a web browser. You can compose things in Wordpad and then just copy and paste them wherever you want.
- Make sure you use the correct command instead of typing things on your own, windows learn from it and become better.
