Please help - really annoying speech recognition problem
Hi all.
My problem is simple: I'm currently using the Word 2010 trial, and I've been trying to get speech recognition to work. I've used this Windows 7 feature before, and it's worked fine with previous versions of office. However, on this clean install with Word 2010, whenever I dictate, the text appears in a small box with "Insert" and "Cancel" options at the bottom, and when I've written what I want I can insert the text.
This is incredibly annoying, because whilst it might be OK for essays etc. I am trying to writ bullet point notes, so I need to be able to say things like "increase indent" and "enter" at regular intervals to change the formatting, which doesn't work with this annoying box.
Here's a screenie: http://www.imagebam.com/image/6e9ae1109746754
Oh btw it works fine in WordPad.
Cheers very much for any replies, Michael.
