Re: MVP's, text to speech!!, Can I dictate in other text input pro

I just wanted to say thanks again Mark, cutting and pasting dictation from
wordpad to windows works word processor Worked, still don't understand why
they could not of put text to speech in their main word program in Vista, I
suppose it is a way for MS to make us spend more money on buying word
programmes.

and I will check out the website, still haven't done that yet.

Works word processor does not function with Vista Speech Recognition text
input. There are a number of other products that can handle it.
Trace R&D Center
The Trace R&D Center at the University of Wisconsin&—Madison publishes a
database of more than 18,000 products and other information for people with
disabilities. The database is available on their Web site. The Trace R&D
Center also publishes Trace Resource Book, which provides descriptions and
photographs of about 2,000 products. To obtain these materials, contact:

Another work around might be to paste the wordpad text into Works after
dictation.

Thanks for the reply Mark,

I have the new Windows Vista Home Premium and I don't seem to have MS
word,
instead I have MS "Works word processor" which seems to have taken it's
place. I went to this, clicked on the " tools menu" like you said, but
there
was no "speech" on this menu. As I said, Dictation works Great on wordpad
and
notepad, but not on Windows works word processor. It seems like MS has
Favoured "Wordpad" for dictating but Wordpad has'nt Got things like "spell
check" ," grammar and punctuation" or "Thesaurus" . there must be a way
to
do this, have you any other ideas??

Please can a MVP help me, I have just got the new Windows Vista,
complete
with the speech recognition program. I should explain that I am
disabled
and
cannot use my hands. I am so pleased at the progress made on speech
recognition.

However, I have found that dictation or text to speech, works really
well
in
wordpad and notepad, but I can't seem to get it to work with other text
input
programmes such as Windows word, Windows works word processor or other
non
Windows Programmes such as Google Earth. When I try to dictate in these
programmes, all speech recognition can do is bring up commands, and my
use
of
dictation or text to speech is no more.

I am sure that it is a configuration problem and an easy solution for
you
experts out there, I sure would like an answer to this, it would be
much
appreciated if any MVP's could help me??. For a person like me, it
would
be
like a dream come true.

Thanking you in advance
