Jim:

It is only necessary to create the association between any spoken word and
the series of characters you wish to generate when that word is spoken,
into a library of such associations...

In other words, if I speak "the" and make the association to the
characters "t-h-e" the speech to text engine will always generate those
characters when I speak that specific word--I could just as easily
associate the spoken "the" with any other series of characters.

Now, while you and I might not go to that trouble if we are fast typists,
others who do not type will... those who are blind will... companies and
corps will (and especially those employing disabled workers.) I have seen
such libraries on the net for specific uses, such as programming, before.
You most likely can download one for the speech engine in question...

There are groups devoted to the blind who could easily supply you with
them, I am sure...

You should fully investigate "text-to-speech" and "speech-to-text"; typing
is indeed becoming as extinct as the dodo bird (and cw.)

Frankly, keyboards are probably only as prevalent as they are for much the
same reasons as cw--humans are creatures of habit, the newest generations
probably will kill the keyboard...

Hello, John

Well, I guess I've got to admit that I might be getting stumped.

How do I use speach to text to write programs in Visual Basic or C? Can the
program understand the difference between "to", "too", and "two"?

Don't worry as the China will probably do your work for you
