I can go back to win 7 and it had "speech recognition". Before that in xp days I dabbled with offline dragon and stuff.

Point is, I've been bugged with this problem.

" I need a dictation software to read me back what it understood and typed". ALL the software either assume you are looking at the screen and like the win7 (scratch that) I don't want that.

Let me say "I was walking and running besides the train." <pause> "I was walking and besides The train." Would be response so I would say "scratch that." And I would repeat it or ask for help and all.

Why isn't such a system there?

Think of it as a person doing the typing. You write a line, they read back what you said, okay, next. Otherwise fix that like this

It seems SAPI might be removed from the latest versions of windows. It was pretty simple to use in VB6 in pure dictation mode or you could even load a dictionary of listen words for even higher false positives. Any replacements that anyone is aware of for offline dictation / dictionary?
