FAQ Speech4Excel

Yes, you can, but you have to define all commands for your language yourself, as they would be in English in this particular use case. Also, you cannot use the default identifier for numbers.

The main use case for an unsupported language would be dictation and entering technical terms.

However, we are happy to work with you and add a new language for number recognition, but also for the user interface.

Yes, in the free version this is only possible manually. In the Pro version, you can switch by voice command. In dictation mode, self-defined terms are also recognized.
Switching is therefore usually not necessary.

No, Speech4Excel can also be used without Excel installed.

Voice entries are only made if the symbol in the circle shows a microphone with the addition “Listen in”. If this is not the case, click on the symbol until it switches to the microphone.

Also check whether the correct microphone is being used. You can see which microphone is being used on the settings page.

Yes, but this navigation is only possible in the Pro version. You can find more information on this here.

Speech4Excel always uses the default microphone that is set in the Windows settings. If the microphone is used by another program, it may be “disconnected” from Speech4Excel.
To solve this problem, you need to close the other program or stop using the microphone and restart Speech4Excel. This should reactivate the microphone in Speech4Excel.

There is a free version of Speech4Excel because we believe that it is helpful to test the speech recognition for your individual use case without any pressure.
