Type by talking to your PC

As you now know, you can command your PC by voice—but you can also speak freely, dictating text instead of typing it. You know: “Dear John (comma; new line), How long have I known you (question mark)? I’m afraid that the answer is (comma), too long (period).”

(Yes, you have to speak the punctuation.)

You might be amazed at how fast and accurate the program is.

Now and then, Speech Recognition makes an error. In that case, you should correct it by voice, so it learns from its mistake. Suppose, for example, that you said “oxymoron,” but Windows typed, “ax a moron.”

In that case, say, “Correct ax a moron.” When the list of alternative transcriptions appears, say the number of the corrected interpretation (“three”). If you don’t see it, speak the correct text again. (In a pinch, you can also say, “Spell it,” and then spell it out loud.)

Once you’ve found (or said) the correct phrase, say “OK” to close the panel, replace the corrected text, and teach Windows not to make that mistake again.
