I need some voice recognition software that will type anything that I dictate
Wasn't there something that comes with XP?

Have you tried anything similar, what's good?

I'm too lazy to Google it

yeah, I've heard of that one, but if I'm not mistaken thye don't offer a trial bersion, and it costs about $200.00
I don't think that I want to spend 200 bucks on something that might or might not meet my requirements

Yes, there is speech recognition software that comes with XP but it only works with applications that can really detect it. It's not too bad if you just wnat to try out speech to text... You will have to go through a 'training process' and read about 10 stories containing a few paragraphs so the system can profile your voice and learn how you speak. One thing to take not of, is to speak or read in a normal cadence and don't try to 'second guess'... All that being said, you will find the applet to turn on the speech recognition in the XP Control Panel under the Speech icon.

There is a program called Via Phone that does that.

I just tried it with Word, it says I should get 75-85% accuracy at first, I got more like 30%
I tried to dictate a sentence about a pee whore it came something about the Pope's pet - lol I'm not kidding

I'll guess I'll have to keep trying

dragon is a good one
