Speech recognition is now built into Windows Vista. It is easy to configure and use and is pretty accurate.
With Vista Speech recognition you can take control of your PC using voice commands. Imagine, not using your keyboard or mouse while using your computer to type documents, read emails and surf the web. Now it is possible. With Windows Vista, your keyboard and mouse are now optional.
