Speech Recognition not working in Word 2003
I recently upgraded Office 2000 Premium to Office Professional 2003.
I decided I wanted to check out speech recognition so I opened Word - no Speech item on the Tools menu. I went through Add and Remove Programs and selected Change for Office 2003 and selected "run all from my computer" for the speech recognition feature. Everything seemed fine, but speech doesn't work. The item now appears on my Word menu but does nothing when I click it. In searching the net for help on this issue, I read somewhere that a Wizard is supposed to start when you install speech recognition. I can find no such wizard here. Can anyone help me figure out why speech isn't working? I have a Logitech headset with microphone which has worked well in other applications. Tom -- remove .spoo to reply by email |

Problem was solved by turning on advanced text services. A while ago I disabled ctfmon.exe, but once re-enabled speech recognition is now working. Tom -- remove .spoo to reply by email |

Strange how writing down the problem so often focuses the mind on the root of the problem! Terry Farrell "Tom Hall" wrote in message ...

Some time ago I discovered some issues with another program which appeared to go away as soon as I nuked ctfmon.exe with Task Manager. After doing some research, I discovered the way to get rid of ctfmon for good was to turn off advanced text services in Office 2003. Unfortunately, this also turned off the dictation feature in Office 2003 as well, so re-enabling cftmon was the easy fix. Unfortunately, I am still seeing some odd behavior from other programs which appears to go away if ctfmon is turned off. Interestly, I received an email offer for Dragon Naturally Speaking at half-price last week, and it was only while doing some research on the software that I discovered that similar capabilities were already built into Office 2003. I probably won't bother buying Dragon now... :-) Tom -- remove .spoo to reply by email |
