Free speech recognition in Windows 7 will take surprisingly good dictation

Last month I experienced a hard disk failure and bought a new machine. In the process I lost my copy of Dragon Naturally Speaking. I have purchased this software and have the CD somewhere, but we moved since I last installed it and I have no idea where the CD is. I like to use a speech recognition program like Dragon sometimes. For example, if I have written something on paper and I need to get it into the computer, I find it easier to read it aloud rather than typing it. I had just such an occasion this week, and without my copy of Dragon I was kind of stuck. To turn on speech recognition, click the Start button (bottom left corner by default), choose the “Help & Support” option and type in “Set up Speech Recognition” or just “Speech Recognition” to see how to set it up. I set it up and did not train it at all. A demo: This article is also interesting: Talk to the Machine: Progress in Speech-Recognition Software, by David Pogue
