I wonder if anybody knows where to find the commands to dictate to excel using windows 7 speech recognition. I have search, but all I have found is related to word.

Thanks in advance.

This is already built into Excel but hidden away a little bit


Right Click on the Ribbon

Customise the Ribbon

Choose commands from : All Commands

Scroll Down to Speak Cells


You will need to make a New Custom Group

Select New Group

Move it to where you want it

Rename it


Then select the Add>> button to transfer the button across


You can now select a range and press the Speak Cells Button in your custom group
 
Hi Hui,


The Speak Cells activate directions are clear and gets it done.


The OP mentions Speech Recognition, which I believe is different. I muddled about to install Speech recognition, and do have it installed. However, the few times I tried it didn't impress me, to wit: seemed not to be able to recognize the alphabet as I pronounced it.


I wanted to be able to say a letter and it would be entered into the cell, or multiple letters in the same cell. I was unimpressed with the results, but it seems I understood that it takes time and repetition for it to become 'fluent' in recognizing my voice. I'm hazy on this.


Do you have any wisdom of Speech Recognition you can pass on?


Regards,

Howard
