Windows 7 Speech Recognition

Gone are days when u controlled ur PC with keyborad,mice etc.....
Know speech contol is becoming popular.....
Windows 7 offers u with Speech Control feature for ease of Access

1. Getting started:
To get started with Window’s 7 speech recognition, open your Start menu and click the Control Panel button. Now, select the Ease of Access group and open up Speech Recognition .

2. Set Up Your Microphone

While you could elect to start using Windows 7’s speech recognition without any preparation, we advise against it. If you’ve dabbled with voice-based computing before, you know that while the technology has made leaps and bounds, it’s still pretty far from perfection. In order to save your sanity and have the best experience possible, it’s essential that your microphone is set up correctly. From the Configure Your Speech Recognition window, select Set up Microphone.

You’ll be asked to select what microphone you want to use. Depending on the type of microphone you choose, the Microphone Setup Wizard will suggest the optimum distance and configuration for you to use. You’ll then be given the opportunity to set your audio level.



3. Teach Your Computer 

Now that you’ve taken the time to set up your microphone, it might be worthwhile to ensure that your computer can understand what you’re saying. Look to the Configure Your Speech Recognition window once again and select Train Your Computer to Understand You. In doing so, you’ll be walked through a tutorial that spoon-feeds you a number of phrases. By speaking each of the phrases into your microphone, you’ll give Windows 7 the information it needs to understand the commands that you’re no doubt keen to give it.

Work your way through the tutorial and adjust your speech and diction as needed. It might be a pain having to alter the way you speak to meet Windows’ needs, but it’s not nearly as painful as having your operating system do something contrary to your wish every time you issue a voice command.

4. Use a Cheat Sheet

5. In last-

it’s time to make your PC’s speech-recognition software dance. From the Speech Recognition pane, select Start Speech Recognition. You’ll once again be walked through the selection and setup of your microphone (above)—after all, practice makes perfect. You’ll also be asked whether or not you’d like to use Window 7 speech recognition’s manual or voice-activated modes.
