Vista - New word for speech

I would like to add some words to a supp. dictionary such as oligodendrocyte.

Is it possible to enter words that are not in the normal dictionary and have
them be recongized?

Thanks Dr. Lenihan

Hello David,

Excellect question for a demonstration of Windows Vista's incredible
proficiency...

Windows Vista and MSN's IE 7 Search Engine each provide the proper
definition(s).

Initially, believed your legimate question was somewhat off-topic.

Definition results below (in part).

Oligodendrocytes (from Greek literally meaning few tree cells), or
oligodendroglia (Greek, few tree glue),[1] are a variety of neuroglia. Their
main function is the myelination of axons exclusively in the central nervous
system of the higher vertebrates, a function performed by Schwann cells in
the peripheral nervous system. A single oligodendrocyte can extend to up to
50 axons, wrapping around approximately 1 mm of each and forming the myelin
sheath.

**********************
Oligodendrocytes are glial cells which form the myelin sheaths around axons
in the central nervous system. These cells have a small number of cytoplasmic
processes - the name oligodendrocyte comes from the Greek roots oligo,
meaning ‘few’, dendro meaning ‘branch’, and kytos which denotes ‘cell’ - each
of which forms a broad, flat structure after emanating from the cell body. An
individual oligodendrocyte straddles a bundle of axons, and each of its
processes wraps itself around the axon of a different neuron in the bundle.
The processes form concentric circles of fatty tissue that make up a segment
of that neuron’s myelin sheath; in between each segment of myelin is an
unmyelinated section of the axon called the Node of Ranvier.

Myelin has a composition of 80% lipids and 20% protein, and performs a
number of crucial functions in the nervous system. It insulates nerve fibres
by reducing the leakage of ions through the cell membrane, and increases the
velocity at which action potentials are conducted along the nerve fibre, by
enabling them to ‘jump’ from one unmyelinated region to the next, in a
process called saltatory conduction . Polio, multiple sclerosis, and other
demyelinating diseases are caused by the breakdown of the myelin sheath in
various regions of the nervous system, and can result in blindness and
paralysis.

David,

Please ignore the two wrongly spelled words within the body of my first
Post, was in a rush, and forgot verifying spelling. Once these Posts are made
they're somewhat as fired bullets and/or spoken words, once released you
can't retrieve...

A mistake that never would Vista release.

Hello.

Right click on the microphone icon in either the system tray, or in the
speech recognition window and select 'Open the Speech Dictionary' from there
you can add words and add a recording for them too.
