How to enter text in ACCESS form textbox using Speech recognition.

Question

I have a program that runs on the Trimble Yuma tablet running Windows 7 that only has a pop-up keyboard.  I want to be able to enter text in a text box using voice recognition.  I have enabled speech recognition and I can change records, but when I tap in the text box I cannot get text to be entered using speech recognition.  How do I get this to work?

Thanks,

Pat

That is most likely NOT an Access issue. Conceptually voice to text would work like any actual hardware device such as a keyboard. The software simply interprets the speech and then outputs it as text where it needs to go. It may be that there's something about the TextBox control that does not allow the software to recognize that its capable of receiving text.

That doesn't really make sense.  If I can type with the keyboard, then I should be able to enter text with Speeh recognition.  I haven't disabled anything or set some limit on what the input source could be.
