These requirements include:. When it comes to applications that support speech recognition, you do not necessarily need to go out and purchase new software. You just need to enable support of advanced text services as you will see later in this article.
If you are unsure if the speech recognition engine is already installed on the computer, you can check the Speech Properties dialog box as seen in Figure A. Within the Control Panel, open the Speech applet. If there is no Speech Recognition tab available from the Speech Properties dialog box, the engine has not been installed. You can install the SRE by completing the steps below. For example, in Microsoft Word, click the Speech option from the Tools menu.
The speech recognition engine can be controlled using the Speech applet in the control panel. The settings that can be configured on the Speech Recognition tab include the following:. If multiple engines are installed, you can use the drop down arrow under the Language section to select which one to use. Some engines will also support special features. If the Settings button is not available, it simply means that the engine selected does not support any custom features.
Windows XP stores recognition profiles. The information stored within a profile is used to recognize your voice. You can create different profiles for different users or for different noise environments. To change speech recognition profile setting options, use the steps listed below:. Under the Recognition Profiles section, you will also see an addition button called Train Profile.
This allows you to train your profile to improve speech recognition accuracy. The more the speech engine knows about your particular style of speaking and the sounds in your environment, the more accurate it will be. The wizard will collect voice samples from you so that it can adjust to your particular speaking style. Finally, at the bottom of the Speech Recognition tab, you can configure microphone settings.
Keep in mind that speech recognition performance is dependent on the type of microphone you are using and different microphones will have specific requirements. The Microphone Wizard will appear once you click the Configure Microphone button.
The wizard will walk you through the process of configuring and testing your microphone for use with speech recognition. However, one feature of speech recognition often overlooked is the ability to dictate text. This underutilized feature can be particularly useful in certain business settings where text must be entered, but a keyboard would be inconvenient.
This how-to tutorial shows you how to turn on speech recognition in Windows 10, how to configure the settings, and then how to use the feature for the purpose of dictation. The steps outlined presume you have a working microphone already connected to your PC. The appropriate speech recognition settings in Windows 10 tend to be buried deep within the configuration menus. To activate speech recognition in Windows 10, click or tap the Start Menu button in the lower left-hand corner of the typical desktop and click the Settings icon.
On the next page Figure B , click the Turn on speech services and typing suggestions button to activate Cortana and speech recognition. Note, you should have a working microphone already connected to your PC at this point. It is also important to note that once you turn this feature on, Windows 10, and by extension, Microsoft will begin tracking your behavior and interaction using speech recognition and Cortana.
The company does this in an attempt to refine and improve the experience, but this transfer of data does involve privacy issues and requires your acknowledgment. With Cortana initiated, you can now fill out forms, dictate text, and give commands just by talking to your computer.
The Cortana system will open a small box and begin listening and then typing your words as you say them into the microphone, as you can see in Figure C. The speech-to-text quality has greatly improved over the years and, in general, whatever you say will appear on your screen as intended. To view captions, tap or click the Closed captioning button.
Watch this video about how to use dictation with Speech Recognition. Windows Speech Recognition makes using a keyboard and mouse optional. You can control your PC with your voice and dictate text instead. There are a few steps you need to take before you can start using Speech Recognition. First, you'll need to set up a microphone. Then, you can train your PC to recognize your voice. Before you set up Speech Recognition, make sure you've plugged the microphone into your PC so the following steps work.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Search. Enter Set up a microphone in the search box, and then tap or click Set up a microphone. Note: If possible, use a headset microphone; it's less likely to pick up background noise.
Speech Recognition uses a special voice profile to recognize your voice and spoken commands. The more you use Speech Recognition, the more detailed your voice profile becomes-and that should improve your PC's ability to understand you. Enter Speech Recognition in the search box, and then tap or click Speech Recognition. You can use your voice for many tasks, such as filling out online forms or typing letters. When you speak into the microphone, Speech Recognition transforms your voice into text on the screen.
Enter speech recognition in the search box, and then tap or click Windows Speech Recognition. To correct a single word, say "correct" followed by the word that you want to correct. If the word appears more than once, all instances will be highlighted, and you can choose the one you want to correct. In the Alternates panel dialog box, say the number next to the item you want, and then say "OK. Using the Speech Dictionary, you can add your own words, stop a specific word from being dictated, or correct or delete a word in the dictionary.
To prevent a specific word from being dictated, say "Prevent a word from being dictated," and then follow the instructions. You can use simple, short commands to control your PC. The following table shows some of the most commonly used Speech Recognition commands. Words in bold indicate that you can replace the example word or phrase with similar words and get useful results. You can also use keyboard shortcuts as verbal commands to control your PC.
To view all of the available shortcuts, see Keyboard shortcuts. Note: Any time you need to find out what commands to use, say "what can I say? Say what you want to do. For example, change to Celsius in the Weather app. Click File ; Start ; View. Insert the literal word for the next command for example, you can insert the word "comma" instead of the punctuation mark. Select word range ; Select word through word.
Select previous 20 words; Select previous 10 words. Select next 20 words; Select next 10 words. For example, you can say "press alpha" to press "a" or "press bravo" to press "b. File ; Edit ; View ; Save.
