Problem description: Windows Speech Recognition (WSR) (Vista, 7 or 8)does not allow dictation into Libre Office. Steps to reproduce: 1. Run WSR with Libre Office.... 2. Try to Dictate .... 3. Will receive a what was that? Message.... Current behavior: Does not work Expected behavior: Should be able to dictate into LibreOffice using Windows Speech REcognition Operating System: All Version: unspecified
Are you talking about this software, right? http://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/windowsvista/speech.aspx I assume that it works in MS Office, Internet Explorer, MS Outlook Express etc. etc. basically you say that WSR cannot dictate into LibO... what about Firefox and Thunderbird? I'm not sure they made it compatibile with non-MS products.
According to Marty Makoe at MyMSSpeech.com "WSR works well in any application that follows Microsoft’s TSF (text services framework). Ask the developers of LibreOffice if they’ve incorporated TSF in their software. If it is not TSF compliant you will need to dictate into Word or Wordpad or Notepad and copy/transfer to LibreOffice." He wrote that back to me when I asked him a few days ago if he any thoughts. Is it possible to add the TSF framework into Libreoffice? Thank you very much.
adding Writer expert developers to CC List. They probably know that.
Just wanted to add that Dragon works fine when you click install accessibility tools. Wish WSR was that easy. On a side note, I would love to be able to help out in anyway I can by beta testing new releases etc. Hopefully, one with WSR functionality can come soon. Any ideas on how I can become a beta tester or otherwise help in other ways? Thank you very much.
As a cross platform program supporting Linux, OS X and Windows environments--the UNO Accessibility API will remain the basis of support for AT. It remains for external projects to implement AT for mobility impaired users who would benefit from speech recognition. Microsoft TSF is in "legacy" status. And currently no agreed "standard" exists for Speach recognition. Microsoft has gone its own way with UI and MSSR. And Nuance, with its current Dragon NS 12--Full Text Control function--looks to again have omitted Apache OpenOffice and TDF LibreOffice support for UNO API, and only supporting Microsoft productivity products. In the not too distant future, a full implementation of a native IAccessible2 (v1.3) standard based bridge for Windows OS will provide the AT hooks needed to implement Windows speech recognition to both Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice. That might be a Nuance DNS commercial module, or I'd lean more to an Extension for AOO/LibreOffice useing the Python based Dragonfly speech recognition framework and a AOO/LibreOffice specific command-module for Microsoft WSR. Perhaps a cross over from the NVDA community.

OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Education OS Version: 10.0.19045 N/A Build 19045 if I even attempt to use windows speech to text and it actually engages the Libra office program crashes every single time without fail. Could you please improve this as people like myself have injuries and can't necessarily type through traditional methods & can't afford some other speech to text program either? Thank you, very kindly. It looks like the solution would be to implement Microsoft's tech services framework within the application which should allow speech to text Microsoft application to function without crashing the program 100% of the time. Could any of the contributors give some guidelines on how this problem would be approached and solved?

Created attachment 189409 [details] Screencast with working dictation
(In reply to Brad from comment #11) > if I even attempt to use windows speech to text and it actually engages the > Libra office program crashes every single time without fail. I just tried with a current LibreOffice development version and the version available via chocolatey. Dictating e.g. "Hello world" as shown in the attached screencast attachment 189409 [details] worked fine for me. Is the tool/Windows feature shown in the screencast the one that this bug is about or is that something else?

WSR performs keyboard entry for menu and TB button controls. But actual text entry onto LO document canvas with by spoken word dictation fails. Cursor positioning, selections, or by letter actions (e.g. "goto start of document", "select all", "backspace", "return", "escape") were fine. But found text entry limited to "press" of individual keys to spell out. WSR well trained, and good quality microphone. Have not yet checked the WSR replacement framework 'Voice Access' on a Windows 11 instance.
