Microsoft Office XP
Microsoft Office XP comprises advanced speech-recognition functionality in all Office programs, enabling people to enter and edit data, control menus and execute commands by speaking into a microphone
Speech-recognition allows customers to improve productivity by talking instead of typing when using Office applications. It is possible to send and receive e-mails, verbally composes large Microsoft Word documents and Microsoft PowerPoint presentations
Office XP provides solutions for people with physical challenges or those who need to communicate by phonetically converting words to characters. From people with repetitive-strain injuries to East Asians, Office XP's voice-recognition is transforming the way people work
Office XP provides speech recognition in three languages: English, simplified Chinese and Japanese. Two modes of operation are offered: dictation mode, which allows users to dictate letters and e-mail messages; and voice command mode, which allows users to access menus and commands using voice input
Voice command mode in Office XP supplements traditional mouse-aided command execution with audible instructions that allow people to select menu, toolbar and dialog box
Office XP makes it easy to switch between the two modes, and the user interface makes it clear which mode the user is in. However, when users are in voice command mode, they cannot dictate text, and when they switch to dictation mode, only a few commands can be issued
