Does anyone know of a method (including add-on applications) that will allow you to easily and reliably enter a stream of numbers into consecutive cells using speech.
I've tried Windows Speech Recognition and is it okay, but it is a little cumbersome to use. Two annoying features are that you have to say 'Enter' after each number which is a little irritating, but most annoying if you say "2" it puts "Two" into the cell even if you have specified the cell format as integer numbers - Microsoft's proposed solution is to say "Numeral" before each number
So say I wanted to enter a string of numbers "4 6 1 0" into cells A1, A2, A3, A4 I would have to say
"Numeral 4 enter numeral 6 enter numeral 1 enter numeral 0 enter insert"
And it becomes more cumbersome and time consuming than entering using the keyboard.
What I'd really like is
(1) To just be able to say "4 6 1 0 insert" - with suitable gaps so it is recognising that they are new numbers
(2) for it to insert horizontally, so into B3, C3, D3, E3
Anyone know of anything that will do that?
Cheers,
Nigel
