Re: Using foreign language accents with Speech?

Hi

I am afraid that did not help. I spent about 40 minutes on it again.

I use Windows XP and Office 2003. The language bar appears when I dictate
and I use the UK English setting. The default keyboard is English Australia
(US) but even when I change the keyboards to US and UK, rebooting the while,
there is no difference.
