It should come with the program if you installed it with the original CD. You should go to Microsoft word help and search for "voice recognition" and you should be able to get some helpful results from there. Also, you could buy other software such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 or any other software listed in the site below. Preferably, Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 is the best, but that is up to you to choose.

linux have a great open source resource for this.. but i dont think that you familiar with linux..\nyou can try Microsoft Speech or speech synthesizer something like that..\ntry those keywords on google or sourceforge.com..\n\nyou can use your own voice anyway..\nwith some software like soundforge, acidpro or adobe audition..\n(for linux i use audacity)\nlatter you can lower the pitch so its sound like male voice..\nthough a little bit weird..

Well there are two parts to that...\n\nFirst: you need to record the sounds (i.e. your dictation) you can do that with the audio recorder that is part of windows or any of many freeware, shareware or commercial software... For voice nearly any thing will work. \n\nSecond you need to tranfer the audio file to a CD... this is where it gets tricky... how do you want to use the CD...  If you want to play the file on a CD player you will need to encode it as a CD... The newer versions of Windows Media Player can do that or you could find a find freeware, shareware or commercial software (there are dozens out there)\n\nIf playing the audio on a computer is okay all you need is cd-r (writer) drive and softwar to drive it the Drag and Drop cd writer that come with Windows XP should or you could get other software to do it...\n\nTo define the exact process I would need to know more detail about what you want to do and what hardware and software you have to work with...\n\nEnder

This is actually pretty easy to do. You can record any message you want onto your computer as a .wav file, then go to Start/Control Panel/Sounds and Audio/Sounds and switch the system sounds there. For example, record a message that says, "Hi Dave" and "By Dave" and save it somewhere easy to find. Then go where I directed you, highlight "start windows" and hit browse, then locate the "Hi Dave" file and choose it then press apply. Do the same with the "exit windows" sound using the "By Dave" file. You can change any sound the computer makes this way.\nAlternately, if you don't want to use your own recorded messages you can go to a .wav site and use those, you just right click and "save target as" to save the file to your computer then follow the directions above. I'm including a link that has a bunch of .wavs from the movie "2001", there are a few with HAL9000 addressing Dave, so you might be able to use them. Hope this works out for you, it's not as complicated as it sounds.\n\n2001 .wav site:\nhttp://www.moviewavs.com/Movies/2001.shtml\nfor other wav sites just search movie wavs and you'll find a ton of them.

Well, it depends on what version of Windows you have.  If you have Windows XP, go to :\nControl Panel>Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices>Sounds and Audio Devices>and then go to the Sounds tab.  There you can edit what sound you want to play for each event in the list.  Hope this helps!

Try Audacity! It's freeware and it does the job pretty well.

Go into Control Panel on Widows, then Sounds and Audio Devices, click on Sounds, Voice and Audio tabs in turn, and alter the settings so that they are defaulted to your soundcard.\nIf this dont work, your soundcard driver could want updating.

If you have MSAgent installed, download the following program that I made just for you. \n\nhttp://www.pcwindex.com/tmp/MSAgent.exe\n\nYou may need to install MSAgent and speech engines from http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/downloads/user.asp\n\nDownload and install:\nText-to-speech engines\nSAPI 4.0 runtime support\nSpeech recognition engines (optional)\n\nI became an expert of sort with MSAgent speaking characters while I was developing a program called Skype Agent. It uses the characters to speak incoming caller ID information for you. You can find it at download.com. Also, try my new registry cleaner, PCWindex. You can find it at http://www.pcwindex.com or at download.com also. \n\nThanks and enjoy\n\nP.S.\nWhen you type in the text for the character to speak, try using what are called "Speech Tags". For instance, if you type in \n&#92;Emp&#92;Hi\nthe cahracter will emphasize the word "Hi". The other comands are:\n\n&#92;Pau=5000&#92;  - this is a 5 second pause. You can change the number for a longer or shorter puase.\n\n&#92;Emp&#92;  - is emphazise\n\n&#92;Vol=6556&#92;  - is the volume.You can change the number for louder or softer speech.\n\n&#92;Pit=123&#92;  - is the pitch. You can change the number.\n\n&#92;Spd=200&#92; - is the speed. You can change the speed.\n\n&#92;Chr="Whisper"&#92;\nor\n&#92;Chr="Normal"&#92;\nor\n&#92;Chr="Monotone"&#92; - for changing the characters speech sound.\n\nAny questions, let me know. cjmclellen@yahoo.com\n\nhttp://www.pcwindex.com

You could try what the previous user mentioned, but a better way is this go here:\n\nStart -> Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment -> Sound Recorder. Just press the RED button, start talking into the mic, hit stop. Then play what you just recorded. Works like a charm.
