does any one know how to make microsoft word type by itself as i speak?

Answer 1

Both Microsoft Office XP and 2003 feature a Speech tool. This allows you to dictate documents. But it will also read documents aloud to the vision-impaired.

To open the speech tools in Word, click Tools, Speech. If you haven’t used the speech recognition tool, Word prompts you to train it. For now, you can just click Cancel. You will receive a warning; click OK again.

The Language toolbar appears at the top of the window. You might not see the Speak Text button. So click the arrow on the right side of the toolbar and select Speak Text. When the button appears on the toolbar, you can get started.

Position your cursor at the beginning of the text you want to hear. Then press Speak Text. If you only want to hear a portion of the document, highlight it before clicking the button.

Things are more complicated in Outlook. First, you must set Word as your e-mail editor. To do this, open Outlook and click Tools, Options. On the Mail Format tab, select Use Microsoft Office Word 2003 To Edit E-mail Messages. Click OK.

You can access the speech tools as you would in Word. There is a catch, though. It does not work with messages that have been sent or received. To get around this, click Reply or Forward. When the message opens for editing, you can use the speech feature.

The default voice is somewhat difficult to understand. But you can adjust it. On the Language toolbar, click Tools and select Options. Click the Advanced Speech button and open the Text To Speech tab.

You can use the drop-down box to choose the voice. A preview of the voice starts automatically. To hear it again, click the Preview button. Then, use the slider to set the speed of the voice. When you have made your adjustments, click Apply and OK twice.

The speech feature is different in Excel. To access Text to Speech, click Tools, Speech, Show Text to Speech Toolbar.

The toolbar gives you several options. The first button reads highlighted cells. The next button stops the speech feature. The two middle buttons will read by rows and columns, respectively. The final button reads the contents of a cell after you have finished typing and hit Enter.

Answer 2

You have to purchase a software to do that. Word does not do it by itself. A popular choice is Dragon Naturally Speaking.

Answer 3

there are may programs that will do it (poorly)
but windows VISTA is about to come out that will do it

PS: Vista is the new OS (like XP, or 2000, ME, 98 ect.)

Answer 4

No, but it seems to reason you would have to purchase a special program and microphone for this.

Answer 5

enable speech tools options.. install that if its not already installed..
