    Try asking https://chatgpt.com/ with 'convert speech to text in VBA' and copy the code.

    The functionality is built into recent versions of Windows but not officially supported in Access. However it can work well for freeform text (long text fields)

    I wish you had replied sooner.

    No idea what code ChatGPT suggested - my method uses standard Windows functionality

    They did work, as I had a quick peek, but the code did not work for me.

    Well I got it working with ChatGPT just as an excercise, so no problem there.
