Compatability of Word 2007 with Ibm Via Voice. Word 2000 worked.

[Brian of London]

Having installed Microsoft Office 2007 yesterday, I find that the IBM Via
Voice now does not offer an alternative for dictating straight to Word. Why?

Ask Via Voice support, its their software

The version you have doesn't support Office 2007. You have the
compatibility problem backwards. Your Via Voice is not even fully
compatible with Office 2003. If you want voice dictation in Office 2007
you will need to upgrade to a different vendor, IBM doesn't support or
develop it anymore and sold off the distribution rights.

Bob 1. Thank you for your advice. I think that I will keep using Via Voice by
dictating into Speakpad and then copying into Word. Certainly, the ease of
dictating straight into the PC has been most useful over the years.
Tank you once again for your time and trouble.
Regards,

You're welcome, no trouble. As long as the end product satisfies you,
all is good!
