Is there such a thing as a freeware voice recognition program?

OT Question: I heard that Windows XP has some kind of voice recognition
program built into it. Is this correct?

Thanks all! Take care! e.t.

I'm not sure about XP but Microsoft Office does. You just have to install
it.

I wanted to do this some time ago but could not see how to. There is
nothing in my Word 2000 menus which seems relevant, nor could I see
any non-installed components.
 
Don't know if Office 2000 has it, but Office XP does. It's installed by
default on a non-custom installation. Tools, Speech, turn the language
bar on. Note, I did a lot of testing of this feature for a visually
impaired user. The voice Recognition is pretty bad. Any VR system will
take a great deal of training. You can try Microsoft speech at
http://www.Microsoft.com/speech/download/ but plan to spend a couple of
hours training it.
