I’m Just Being Manan

Yup, you read that right. With Vista+Office 2k7+Office Scout+Voice Recog Macro, you can actually order your machine to do what you want it to. I had previously blogged about ‘Scout’ Office 2007 Commands. Now using this on your Office 2k7 and Speech Recognition Macros can talk to your Office 2k7. Here is what you do:

1. Install Office Command Search. (Link below)
2. Install the Speech Recog Macro. (Link Below) (Requires Validation)
3. Download the SearchCommands.WSRmac zip file
4. Un-archive it to your Documents\Speech Macros folder.
5. Right click on SearchCommands.WSRmac and select Sign Speech Macros.
