Say, if i were to attach a microphone to my pc, is there voice recognition software in windows? How would i get the program running? If not, is there a free download from windows, or a freebie on the internet? (If i bought office 07, too, is voice rec. built into that?)

If you have a Windows XP or Win2000 computer, you can download their (Microsoft) speech engine FREE (at no cost) and install it to begin dictating and controlling Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, etc, etc.
Additional capabilities can be added using the e-Speaking (website below) Voice and Speech Recognition software.
Microsoft has a good summary on their website called: "How to install and configure speech recognition in Windows XP" (see last reference below).
The combination of Microsoft's software and e-Speaking should enable you to accomplish great things with voice recognition.
Check out the Speech Recognition videos at YouTube:

The process for converting your thoughts into text is very different when "typing" than when you're "dictating" to a computer. In order to maximize the accuracy of the speech recognition software, the speech program will attempt to adjust the spellings of words based on the context of the sentence that it hears. In other words, speech programs analyze entire phrases or sentences, not just individual words. This is why you will often see nothing on the monitor/screen until just after you stop speaking. It takes a few seconds for the computer to figure out what you were saying.
If you don't think about what you are going to say before you say it, you may end up just blabbering on about the topic but not really saying anything important. If you were to stop in mid sentence, this would reduce the ability of the software to accruately transcribe what it heard. ( http://www.speech--recognition.com/050.htm ).

There is everyday software you can buy that will run on XP that will do things like type as you speak. I am not aware of any free ones. More sophisticated voice rec s/w is out there for specialized use.

Can you refine your question? 'Individual voice recognition' is not a part of Windows XP Pro , but have a look in 'Control Panel' [Speech] this might help
