Speech Recognition and Office XP

[Leilani Lori]

My PC has a 1.00 GHz and 128 MB RAM and came with WinXP
Home edition pre-installed. About 1-1/2 yrs. ago I
installed Office XP (2002) with no problems and Office has
consistently worked fine till now. I want to use speech
recognition with Microsoft Word, but when I click on Tools
and then "speech" to install speech into Word, I get this
error message, "Speech Recognition requires a 400 MHz
computer with 128 MB of memory."

I've got all that so I looked in the system properties and
it says I only have 120 MB RAM and after going into CMOS
setup, I see that 8 of my 128 MB has been reserved for
video graphics. So I guess that explains why XP thinks
I've only got 120.

But Office XP requires 128 MB in order to be installed in
the first place, so I don't understand how Office XP knew
I really had 128 MB, but Word (an Office XP product)
doesn't. Also, speech shows up in Control Panel and seems
to work just fine there. I finally had to download a 7
day trial of Voice Studio so I can dictate until I figure
out how to get Word to recognize speech on it's own.

Does anyone know how I can correct this?? I really want to
just Speech within Office XP without having to use
additional 3rd party programs.

Thank you,

Lori

Not the answer you wanted to hear - but I would strongly recommend adding more memory.
128mb is way low in today's environment
(When MS specifies a min memory requirement - it is usually underspec'd)


For all Office XP suites:
RAM requirements depend on the operating system used:
a.. Windows 98, or Windows 98 Second Edition
24 MB of RAM plus an additional 8 MB of RAM for each Office program (such as Microsoft Word) running simultaneously
b.. Windows Me, or Microsoft Windows NT®
32 MB of RAM plus an additional 8 MB of RAM for each Office program (such as Word) running simultaneously
c.. Windows 2000 Professional
64 MB of RAM plus an additional 8 MB of RAM for each Office program (such as Word) running simultaneously
d.. Windows XP Professional, or Windows XP Home Edition
128 MB of RAM plus an additional 8 MB of RAM for each Office program (such as Word) running simultaneously

Here's What You Need to Use Windows XP Home Edition
. PC with 300 megahertz (MHz) or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233-MHz minimum required;1 Intel Pentium/Celeron family, AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor recommended

. 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)

. 1.5 gigabyte (GB) of available hard disk space.1

. Super VGA (800 × 600) or higher resolution video adapter and monitor

. CD-ROM or DVD drive

. Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device

You're absolutely right. But how do I do what I need to
do in the meantime??? I mean, if Office XP has to have
128 MB to install, and it did (with 8 MB of it reserved
for video, of course), then how do I get Word to do the
same, since it also requires 128 MB?

This boggles my mind and I need to do this this week--the
earliest I can install more memory is like, next month.

Help!

Thanks,

Office program (such as Word) running simultaneously

Here's What You Need to Use Windows XP Home Edition
. PC with 300 megahertz (MHz) or higher processor

clock speed recommended; 233-MHz minimum required;1 Intel
Pentium/Celeron family, AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or
compatible processor recommended

. 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended

(64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some
features)

You're absolutely right. But how do I do what I need to
do in the meantime??? I mean, if Office XP has to have
128 MB to install, and it did (with 8 MB of it reserved
for video, of course), then how do I get Word to do the
same, since it also requires 128 MB?

This boggles my mind and I need to do this this week--the
earliest I can install more memory is like, next month.

Help!

Thanks,

Not the answer you wanted to hear - but I would strongly recommend adding more memory.
128mb is way low in today's environment
(When MS specifies a min memory requirement - it is usually underspec'd)


For all Office XP suites:
RAM requirements depend on the operating system used:
a.. Windows 98, or Windows 98 Second Edition
24 MB of RAM plus an additional 8 MB of RAM for each

Office program (such as Microsoft Word) running
simultaneously

b.. Windows Me, or Microsoft Windows NT®
32 MB of RAM plus an additional 8 MB of RAM for each

Office program (such as Word) running simultaneously

c.. Windows 2000 Professional
64 MB of RAM plus an additional 8 MB of RAM for each

Office program (such as Word) running simultaneously

d.. Windows XP Professional, or Windows XP Home Edition
128 MB of RAM plus an additional 8 MB of RAM for each
