Speech recognition works , manual typing doesn't

[Big Booger]

when you want to manually type, do one of two things, put your microphone on mute, or shut off the Speech to text. I think it is picking up the sound from your keyboard and is trying to mangle your manual typing...

IF that doesn't work, try this site for help:
scroll down until you see WORD: SPEECH RECOGNITION

What I do is click on the language bar and shut it off, or disable it. Have you tried clicking on the microphone icon to shut it off?

LANGUAGE BAR INFORMATION

Hope this helps,
