Can I use software speech recognition for learn english?

Absolutely not.  Unfortunately, speaking English with a heavy accent is likely to confuse the software, frustrate you, and accomplish nothing toward your goal of becoming a more proficient English speaker.  Language is learned best in total immersion situations.  In other words, your best option is to find someone who will regularly sit down and converse with you in English (preferably a highly proficient speaker who is qualified to correct you when you make mistakes).

Not entirely sure what you mean by phonetic input (Speech recognition??). If so try typing speech recognition in Russian into www.google.ru \n\nIf you find something drop me a line (Russian speaking wife!!)

Hi there, \nMy mom is using a software that is called Talk Now! English.  She says the programs included in this package are really helpful and entertaining.  She's learned a lot. Of course, she also has books on tapes, and I make her practice her English with me.

Speech capabilities are built into Vista's operating system.  However, if you have an XP system, you would need to install the Speech engine as a software component.  This allows you to get some of Vista's speech capabilities into your XP system.  \n\nMicrosoft offers their speech engine free for downloading.  Several vendors have developed software applications that use the speech engine.  You may want to consider e-Speaking ( http://www.e-Speaking.com ) for installation on your XP system.  This software uses the Microsoft speech engine to assist you in implementing speech recognition technology.\n\nVideos of the software are on YouTube:\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYu6_cNRCD4\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io40bTjlYCY\n\nIn summary, you don't have to wait until Vista to get speech recognition on your XP computer using Microsoft's speech engine.  You can download and install the speech engine on an XP computer today.

Between the two of them, I would choose the interactive software.  Most of your interative software includes pictures (which are very helpful) and real life situatiions and provided extra vocabulary .  Most of these programs also include progress quizzes.  Most of these software programs also put the language in a context that you can understand.  The few audio programs I've listened to give you a phrase to listen translate and repeat.  If you are building towards fluency, this is not the way to go.  \nThere's no harm in listening to an audio cd (it gives you a model of the language being spoken), but I wouldn't rely on it solely.\nGood Luck on your language learning!

As far as software goes, I recommend Audacity.  It's free, useful, and easy-to-understand.

Hello,\n\nYes you can. First of all you can use some free stuff from the net. You can even interact with people from your chosen country that you want to learn their language.\n\nTry Pimsleur learning program;its recorded books like conversational which is paced. Every one i know has raved about pimsleur.\n\nTry Rosetta Stone as well ...WWW.BYKI.COM, free download site for your chosen language \n\nGood luck\n\nP.S. If you want to learn for example spanish, you can also listen to their music,film and radio and not to forget reading their books not only will your speaking skills improve,but your vocabulary

my experience with naturally speaking has not been a pleasant one.  it was ultimately unusuable and i soon removed it from my system.  it simply made way too many mistakes when interpreting voice commands or dictation - no matter how many times i trained it.

If you are using Windows XP, you probably already have a Text to speech program you can use.   Go to START | ALL PROGRAMS | ACCESSORIES | ACCESSIBILITY and select the program "Narrator"
