Caller: My computer is typing on its own
My friend just showed me a word file that typed itself:
Here is the excerpt:
And E. AR-a long haul the she the the new the new, a new movie in the the movie I N. P. B. G. two a two B. I. who have a way to be a way to a have the new I a a way who knew then a a a a a a long, then, the way, have a-N.—the a new new to the a a a a a a a how I knew he he he he he he he he I I knew he he he had a half a a a I I I he I have the the new be the said the A. B. I. I. I. A. A. I. A. A. I. I. A. A. A. A. I. B. I. V. I. I. B. C. A.
No joke, it typed itself!!!!
Anyone have any ideas?
This computer is not on a network, and was not connected to the internet when it happened...

via voice or similar software active?
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

Office 2000 or Office XP? I have seen this when the included voice software was activated in Office (by default or by accident).
Can't remember how to turn it off though........ I think it is in a tools sub-menu.

THATS THE ANSWER!
It is XP, and the microphone is automaticly turned on due to the fact that its a laptop...
I was over there last night and saw it do it again. I will be sure to let him know why its happening.
thanks guys...

It was the TV
We ran some tests, and it was the TV that the mic was picking up. When there are lound noises like [crashes, bangs ect.] that is when it types the "A's E's and I's"
Funny stuff

I'm not positive but this looks like it could be phone sex.
