Voice Recognition and Text To Speech options are controlled with the Microsoft Voice application. It shows up as a 'green V' in your icon tray. Right clicking on this icon brings various menus for configuring your VR and TTS options.
You can pick between 3 VR modes, by right clicking on the MS Voice icon, or toggle between the modes by left clicking on the icon.
| Command | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Listening for Voice Commands | This mode will listen to anything and everything. You can get lots of false recognition in noisy environments in this mode. |
| Not listening | In this mode, VR will be turned on only when you hold down an activation key or move the mouse to a screen corner, depending on which 'Listening Mode' you pick in the 'Voice Command Options' menu. |
| Paused listening | This mode only listens for a specific trigger keyword. If heard, then it temporarily switches to normal listening mode. The trigger keyword is listed as your 'Computer Name' in the 'Voice Command Options' menu. |
You can improve your Voice Recognition accuracy by talking through a 10 minute training session. Right click on the MS Voice icon and pick 'Voice Command Options', then click on the 'Advanced' tab, and finally click on the 'Optional Training' button.
You can pick the voice and speed of the TTS by clicking on the 'Computer Voice' tab on the same 'Voice Command Options' dialog.
