Even tried out the Speech recognition software that comes with Vista. SOS(Same Old Stuff)needless to say I hope the day never comes when I really need speech recognition. Hope you have better luck with speech recognition than I have.

I finally bought it a while back and trained it over the course of a few nights. Then my computer died and I had to get a new one. That was months ago and I still haven't gotten around to redoing it for this computer. Glad I'm retired. There are too many things on my "to do" list. I wouldn't have time to go out to work anyway!

Stephen Hawkings is one example of what can be accomplished with the aid of customized soft &/or hardware. I just wish it wasn't so expensive to do some of it. Speech recognition is usually more costly than the OS it runs on and even if not it requires several things like a quiet area, training and even then only the trainee is easially recognized.
