Installing and Training Speech Recognition

This feature is available in the Simplified Chinese, English (U.S.), and Japanese language versions of Microsoft Office. Speech recognition is installed in all Office programs by initially using the feature in Microsoft Word, or by doing a custom installation.

After speech recognition is installed, you can increase speech recognition accuracy by taking a few minutes to train the computer to recognize how you speak by reading aloud prepared training text.

Find more information about using speech recognition in the Word Help topic "Getting started with speech recognition."
