OCIO/ ITS Infrastructure Deployment Branch HP/Compaq TC4400 Tablet PC User Guide
TABLET PC INPUT PANEL speech has two different speech modes: dictation and voice command.
Understanding the speech modes and how they work is important so that your computer is
listening for the right thing at the right time (Figure 5.2.b).
Figure 5.2.b – Speech Recognition Modes
• When you use dictation mode, your computer listens to everything you say and changes
your words to text.
• When you use voice command mode, your computer listens for specific words that
correspond to an existing list of available voice commands. You can say "What Can I
Say" at any time to display the list of available voice commands for the program that you
are currently using.
• Most voice commands are available only in voice command mode.
• However, a small set of commands can be used only in dictation mode.
• In addition, you can make some editing voice commands available in both modes.
• It's convenient to use this set of editing commands while you are dictating, but the
accuracy of speech recognition may be lower as a result.
• Sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 describe some basic voice commands that control windows.
These commands operate all WINDOWS-based programs.
• If you want to see a contextual list of available voice commands for the program that you
are currently using, say "What Can I Say" and expand the category that relates to what
you want to do.
