However, don't stop at one session. The more you perform, the more accurate the voice-recognition system will become. One of the utility's biggest drawbacks is that it does not allow you to immediately train words that are misinterpreted. The handwriting-recognition system, on the other hand, seemed to require little if any training. Unlike the Palm Pilot, it does not require the learning of special characters to represent letters.
Normal writing works fine.
It even produced words written in a mixture of print and cursive letters. In the past, I have always spent time tailoring voice-dictation programs to understand a broad range of MS Word commands, because it is the program I use most frequently. I didn't have to do that with the Office XP utility, however, because it already recognizes virtually all commands, including all visible toolbar buttons.
