Using Voice Recognition In Windows Vista!

I just got turned on to voice recognition in windows vista and it turns out you can use it to use your computer with a microphone only!

Uses for this feature:
1. Typing papers in under half the time it takes to type (type as fast as you can say a sentence)
2. Opening programs
3. Shutting down windows in a flash!
4. Surfing the net (it recognizes phrases and selects links so you can easily navigate webpages in a flash!)
5. Sending email using microsoft email program! (send emails in 2 minutes instead of typing it in 5)
6. Many more things!!!!!

How to start voice recognition:
1. Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Ease Of Access>Windows Speech Recognition.
2. It will start and ask if you want to do the tutorial. If you hit yes and do the tutorial then youre done with this tut if you dont do it continue reading.

3. A box at the top with a mic symbol will appear and will say "sleeping". when you see this box clearly say "start listening" into your mic, the sleep will change to listening. Then say "what can i say" for a list of basic commands. Now if you read them say "close this" to close the window and start using this recognition to speed through your everyday tasks on the computer!
