Think so, since while I am running it on windows7 64 bit, am sure it uses google's voice recognition engine, online - no way 300Kb could include a local implementation of a voice recognition engine, and since they specifically refer to google engine, am pretty sure they just, in background record sound clip, and submit it to online engine, and, just tried it out inside my one windows XP virtual machine that I can run inside this windows7 machine, using same version of NVDA 2013.3, with that add-in installed, and it got voice recognition right there as well, without any issues.

nice. what os are you using? i take it this would also work on windows phone? william On 3/7/14, Jacob Kruger <jacob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Not sure if someone else has brought this up before, but, it impressed me quite a bit right now.On this page, you'll find the information, and download link for the googlespeech recognition add-in for NVDA: http://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/googleSpeechRecognition.en.html It's only like 300Kb big, and think what it does is literally submit your recorded voice clip to something like google's voice recognition engine,online, but, it offers a list of 32 languages, and lets you switch between them easily, and ue the voice recognition in any editable text field, and,for example, the two following bits of text are results: ek prat nou afrikans and now i'm speaking englishIn other words, it got both of those exactly right, within like 5 seconds,and only thing I did find is that I do need to talk a little bitcarefully/clearly to make sure it recognises what I am saying, but, for thos two little bits of text used Afrikaans - obviously - and english GB, and inunder 5 seconds each, it came back with the results above that literally just got pasted into this email's contents. And, was also very easy to use - NVDA key + Y to toggle between languages selected from list, NVDA key + shift + G to start recording, and same to stop, and then when it told me result, NVDA key + G, and, voila! LOL!
