Windows 10: voice to text accuracy

since my stroke, unfortunately i have developed a slight lisp and therefore text is not always accurate, plus i am struggling to return my left hand to full typoing functionality, so voice to text has been a lifesaver for me to keep working and productive. I have some very common words i use in correspondence that is always spelt incorrectly especially with certain company/provider names e.g. Sanlam is typed as San Lamb, or Assore as Essex or **** sore, how can i fix this easily that the voice to text option automatically types this correctly.

Text to Voice Edge Replaement

I have been using the Edge Text to Voice tool. Much to my chagrin, I found today that it has been removed. I looked at a few on the extensions only one worked and it did not have the same functionality as the one that has been removed. In desperation and immediate need I installed the Text to Voice app. But very regrettable it requires a cut and pastd-and-it re-formats my letters into 40-column mode, to my chagrin.

I really liked the old one because could import a *.pdf of my work, listen to it, stop it to make corrections on the text version, run it forward and back, .....

This is a CRITICAL too for me when crafting professional letters.

Any suggestion for one that has the same functionality as the one Microsoft took out of Edge?

Know of one that works directly with LibreOffice Writer that does the same?


Thanks for any suggestions will be appreciated.

How do you change the text to speech voice in a (Windows) vbscript?

Hey guys,

I'm trying to create a text to speech vbscript. The problem I'm having is that I can only select between 3 voices. I have 8 available in Windows 10.

Here is my code:

Code: set voice = CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice") set voice.Voice = voice.GetVoices.Item(1) voice.Rate = 1 voice.Volume = 90 voice.Speak TextMessage[/quote] I get a vbs error message when I choose a number greater than 2 for the voice.GetVoices.Item(1) parameter.

Error: 0x80045039
Code: 80045039
Source: (null)

Any suggestions?

TIA,
