How do I get Vista Speech Recognition to recognize I am dictating text?

I have a problem with Vista's Speech Recognition. It hears all m
commands fine, but whenever I am in a document or text input box and
want to dictate text to it, it just thinks I am telling it a ne
command. It doesn't type any of the text I dictate to it, it just open
up Spider Solitaire or starts scrolling down or doing whatever it think
I've told it to do. For example if I dictate "hello" it thinks I've tol
it to scroll down the page, instead of just typing "hello" in the tex
field like it's supposed to do

I thought you could automatically just begin dictating but that doesn'
seem to be the case for me
Does anyone else have this problem? How did you fix it? How do you ge
Vista Speech Recognition to realize you are dictating to it rather tha
giving it commands? Thanks

For example, if I am in a text box, when I say "comma" it's supposed t
type a comma, and if I say "period", it should type a period. But i
doesn't understand me at all when I say these words, while if I sa
"control end" or "backspace" everything's fine, it knows these commands
so I'm thinking something's faulty or missing with the software

What software program are you trying to dictate within? WSR (Windows® Speech
Recognition) only works in standard software programs that follow the TSF
(text services frameworks) guidelines. If you have not already, try dictating
into Microsoft Word and see if it works there.

Also, right-click on the microphone icon in the speech bar. Click on
Options. Then enable, "Enable dictation everywhere."

If all else fails you can add the macro, "Open dictation box," found at:
http://www.msspeech-forum.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=36

Issuing the command Open dictation box opens WordPad. You can dictate and
make corrections. When finished dictating, say, "Post dictation," and the
text should be dumped at the cursor position you started from.

Dictation into the computer is much different than conversational speech. He
must enunciate every word clearly. In addition, it really helps if you speak
in phrases and not individual words. This is because the software is not only
listening for the sound of each word but is comparing each word to words
around it for context clues. Therefore, you should not say words or commands
in isolation but in terms of a phrase.

Two suggestions that should be able to help you:
1. Read the article, "Getting Started with Windows Speech Recognition," at:
http://www.mymsspeech.com/download/WSRGetStarted.pdf
2. Look at the WSRToolkit found at:
http://www.mymsspeech.com/microphone...asp?prodID=228
This $15.99 toolkit puts 7 additional features at your fingertips. This
includes text and command macros as well as adding words/phrases and parsing
your documents to improve your user training profile's Acoustic Model (how
you sound) as well as the Language Model which adapts to your style of
speaking in terms of the phrases in context you use.

As Mark Bender, aka John Doe, sees himself as an Internet Policeman (should
have a lot of experience as he has been arrested several times) he knows
Usenet is a forum for helping users to answer questions. We have not seen
Mark Bender/John Doe offer help, only useless vitriole.

A single word is the most difficult for a stupid computer to
recognize. NaturallySpeaking is good at interpreting single words,
but it also provides keys (I use shift/control) to force either
command or dictation mode. If you are desperate, a workaround might
be to dictate "hello there", then select there, and then delete it.
When dictating a comma, do not pause before saying "comma".

And the cow I jumped over the Moon!!!

I live in the UK, I do not know Marty from Adam, I have never bought a
microphone from Marty, I am not one of your insinuations to be as one of his
aliases yet I have asked Marty's advice on many occasions through email and
he has always replied back to me.

I have found him a very helpful guy and he has proved to me that it is not
all about sales and that customer service is very high on his agenda.

So the very fact that you troll with all your bullshit about him tells me
quite a lot about you and from what I can decipher from your trolling posts
about him it seems like a case of *sour grapes* on your part.

"unmoderated"? There is no such word. Now if you had said "non moderated",
then you would have been in the right ballpark.

It seems this jerk is as illiterate as he's bum-chum Mark Conrad!

"devisive"? There is no such word! If you had put divisive, then you would
have been right, my WSR spelt that word correctly first time without the
need for training it.

In an earlier post of yours replying back to one of mine, you stated that
you always spell correctly and you also stated you use DNS all the time and
that it always spelt correctly too!

I suppose you are now going to spout the same bullshit as Conrad which will
be "I never use DNS to create these posts".

BTW, I've got news for you, DNS and WSR speech recognition CAN spell
incorrectly I have proved this in an earlier post of mine.

If you read my posts properly (perhaps he is incapable seeing he is as
illiterate as the "con man") I explain this in detail.

Once again I will explain just for you seeing as you are a bit slow: -

I dictated "embarrassed" into my DNS 10 and it came out on screen with only
one "r". I have also dictated certain words with WSR that have also come up
on screen spelt incorrectly proving your theory completely wrong!

It seems your theory that is:-

"Speech recognition chooses from a selection of words" if true, can, as I
have proved, select from that list an incorrectly spelt word.

I guess it boils down to this: -

Somebody or something must have programmed those words into the speech
recognition software in the first place so it is perfectly plausible that
some of the words could have been misspelt and therefore show themselves on
screen as so.

The onus is on the speech recognition software user to recognise the word is
spelt incorrectly in the first place,
then to add the correct spelling of that word to the specific software used
and to dump the misspelt word for good so it cannot be spelt incorrectly
anymore.

I already know I am paralysed from the neck down thank you very much but you
also mention in another of your bullshit posts "I am paralysed from the neck
up", if I am, going on the bullshit above, then you must be dead! (Wishful
thinking).

Dragon Naturally Speaking includes the word "unmoderated" in its
dictionary. Princeton WordNet includes the same word in its
dictionary. The USENET archive produces almost 37,000 hits for
"unmoderated". My text-to-speech pronounces that word just fine. I
believe the meaning is perfectly clear to any English speaker.

> It seems this jerk is as illiterate as he's bum-chum Mark Conrad!

If so... Merriam-Webster, Princeton WordNet, and others would not
have included my advertising's sense of the word "save" that means
"spend less".

BY NOW AND SAVE!!!

That is a quote, but I clearly understand the author's expression as
an extension of "devise". The context is great IMO. I like it.

It does not matter what your DNS includes. I have already proved that
speech recognition software be it DNS, WSR or whatever CAN spell incorrectly
nor does it matter where you find your 37,000 hits "unmoderated" is not in
the dictionary, English Encarta or Webster's and if used, would be
considered to be bad grammar and as I explained before, "non moderated"
would be the correct phrase to use in this instance.

Just because you like it, does not make it right. Once again as above, it is
NOT in the dictionary and so it is a "non word"

Complete bullshit. No dictionary, not even the OED, includes every
word in the language.

As it happens, "unmoderated" is in the OED, including the most
relevant definition:

b. Computing. Of a newsgroup or other electronic forum: having
no moderator. Cf. MODERATOR n. 5d

1981 Telecom Digest (Electronic text) 1 No. 5, I also tried to
start the first list of this type but it was unmoderated and
based at MC and got out of hand. 1989 Whole Earth Rev. (Nexis)
Jan. 113 Anyone on Usenet can post an article to an
unmoderated newsgroup, and within a few days it will propagate
to every site subscribing to that newsgroup. 2001 Broadcast 26
Oct. 8/1 No link should be made from children's pages to
unmoderated chat rooms, while children's pages should only
carry pre-moderated message boards and email addresses should
not be included.

The 1981 citation should probably be credited to "A. Walker", whoever
that might be, although I can understand the difficulty for OED
editors in verifying that. (There's probably someone still around who
knew this person.)

"Un" is what is called a productive prefix - it can be attached to
almost any adjective. Sensible dictionaries, including the OED, make
no attempt to include all words formed in this way (and clearly say so
in the front matter). The idea that something which isn't in "the"
dictionary, or even something which isn't in *any* dictionary, is, for
that reason, "not a word" is utter nonsense.
