First we need to find "Windows Speech recognition" in Windows 8, you can choose to search for it, or you can find it in "all apps" Windows easy to use. Once we find it, we can click into it.
Find "Windows Speech recognition"
Here we need to make a series of settings, but it doesn't look like a hassle, just keep going "next". Notice here that you choose the right option based on the type of microphone you actually use.
Computer Common Sense Welcome interface
Select microphone Type
Then we'll see a text tip that says you're going to use your microphone to say this, which is to test if your microphone is working properly, and if there is no problem, we can go to the next step. Otherwise, the "next" button is gray and cannot be used.
Adjust the test microphone
Followed by the "next" process, the middle of several options can be based on their preferences to choose, here we recommend enabling "document review", whether to use voice activation or manual activation is entirely personal interest.
It is recommended that you enable document review
Select activation mode
Finally, you can choose whether to automatically run speech recognition when the computer starts, and the entire Windows Speech recognition setting is complete, and the following is free to use.
Using Windows Speech recognition
Once this feature is turned on we can use it instead of manually completing the operation, and we're going to be dealing with how to use this right-hand helper. In fact, as we set it up we will see the tutorial and control commands provided by the system itself, but here are some basic ways to use it.
System with Tutorial
After speech recognition is started, there are three states, that is, "on", "Sleep" and "off", and we can switch between the icons on the taskbar. We can switch between "open" and "sleep" by using the "Windows+ctrl" key combination, or we can switch by saying "Start listening" and "Stop listening" in the microphone.
Speech recognition that has been started
Let's try to see if it's actually practical. We know there are several ways to call a command prompt in Windows8, but each one requires at least 2 steps, and speech recognition is a word. First we say "start listening" to turn speech recognition to "on", and then say "open command Prompt" directly, the command Prompt window opens directly, very convenient.
Open a command prompt by voice
In fact, there are many deeper applications in windows that we can easily open with speech recognition.
In addition, Windows Speech recognition has a "speech dictionary" feature that allows users to freely add speech words. We can create a new word by entering the text and then matching it with the voice. So we can be more handy when we write things through voice.
Any word can be recognized
Finally, we want to say that speech recognition is not a flashy function, in fact we can use it in many ways, but we generally do not think about it. Windows provides us with this feature, and we can do our job by talking when we can't liberate our hands. Finally, I would like to say that this article is a large part of the voice through the "write" out, is not strong?
