Voice Recognition White Papers

Use Speech Recognition

Tags:
voice recognition

Overview Speech Recognition is available in the Simplified Chinese, English (U.S.), and Japanese language versions of Microsoft Office. Speech recognition is installed in all Office programs by initially using the feature in Microsoft Word, or by doing a custom installation. The user will save time if he or she completes dictation first, review the file, and then format text or make corrections. As a result, the user will switch between using Dictation mode and Voice Command mode less often.
