Microsoft Office XP & Office 2003 Speech Recognition

Everyone was excited when Microsoft released its first speech recognition program in Microsoft Office XP in 2001. Unfortunately, it wasn't very good. They did improve it somewhat in Office 2003 and improved again in the tablet PC version. The 2003 version crashed a lot less and the accuracy improved. But the constant switching between Command and Dictation modes, and its less than useful error correction system, prevented Office XP and 2003 speech from becoming an effective tool for a serious speech-recognition user.

Newer operations systems starting with Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows 7 has speech recognition built-in. These speech features could be good for exploratory experiences. However, they do not have all the speech recognition capabilites of Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
