Speech Recigniton should allow users to make new commands

[Nivek]

Example. I want to be able to close a tab in IE, but if I say "Close Tab" it
closes the whole window. If users could teach Speech Recognition new Commands
we could go into teaching mode, say "Close Tab" and then close the current
tab. After doing this something like five times Speech Recognition would
learn what the command means and be able to do it from that point on.

PS: Not sure if this should be under office, but this is where I got sent by
a Microsoft Customer Support Rep.

Hi Nivek,

MS dropped speech recognition from Microsoft Office after 2003. It's returned to being a Windows feature. You may want to also
post this in the MS Desktop Application Speech discussion group through the link below, and include the version of Windows you're
using when posting there, as the dictation features available also vary by Windows version.

You may want to also look at 3rd party speech recognition apps such as those at http://nuance.com
