Speech4Excel is always using the default microphone that is defined in the Windows settings.
If the microphone is used from another program, it may be “disconnected” from Speech4Excel. To solve this issue, you have to close the other program/stop the microphone usage and restart Speech4Excel. This should enable the microphone in Speech4Excel again.

There is a free version of Speech4Excel because we think it is helpful to evaluate speech recognition for your individual use case without any pressure. The recognition quality is the same in the Speech4Excel Basic and Pro version.
Of course we appreciate any purchase of our product to keep the app development going.

English, German and French are available. In the free version, only the default system language can be used. Through In-app purchases and in the Pro version you can choose freely between the installed languages.

But only for English, French and German numbers are recognized in recognize terms mode and further more you must define the utterances in your language. 

Yes you can, but you have to define all the commands for your language yourself since they would be in English in this particular use case. Also you will not be able to use the default recognition for numbers.

The main use case for a not supported language would be dictation and the input of technical terms.

But we are glad to work with you and add a new language for number recognition but also for the UI.

You can also use the contact form on this website or in the app to propose functions that you would like to see in the app.
