1.	Open Speech in Control Panel.
2.	On the Speech Recognition tab, click Configure Microphone; the Microphone Wizard appears. The features supported are dependent on the manufacturer of the engine. Follow the instructions in the wizard. Configure Microphone is available only if the current engine supports microphone training.
