Dear felloe Oo users:

No! No! No! This would make the open source world more dependent on
Microsoft.

In stead find or help contribute to an open source app to to do the voice
recognition that runs on the same Java runtimes as Oo. Then it needs to be
licensed by the usual LGPA and ported cross-platform with as much of it as
possible "noarch".

Personally, this is not an app I use, as I generally create in text, then
either give it as a live speech or record it as a speech in Audacity.

Cheers,

Bruce M.

I think Orca was created with that in mind.
http://live.gnome.org/Orca

Sun had an accessibility program and I wonder if maybe they work also
for the Windows platform.

"Orca is designed to work with applications and toolkits that support
the assistive technology service provider interface (AT-SPI). This
includes the GNOME desktop and its applications, OpenOffice, Firefox,
and the Java platform. Some applications work better than others,
however, and the Orca community continually works to provide
compelling access to more and more applications. "

Orca works well on Gnome and OOo, but under Windows, NVDA is really
good, is open source and works very well with OOo too. See the site
http://www.nvda-project.org/
I'm on my way to translate a dedicated FAQ in English on how to use
NVDA/Calc.

Kind regards
Sophie

Wasn't the original question about recognition rather than synthesis?
A slightly harder task :-{
