Recently I found out those two tools. Although I've always seen the icon in the search box on Google (a microphone), I've never had curiousity to hit that.
Today I also started using the Windows Speech Recognition. I had to configure my Windows language to English by Windows Update but it worth. Now I can speak into the microphone and the O.S. writes it in Word, Excel etc. I found it great to test my pronunciation skills.
Anyone else using those?
(Sorry for the typos :)
