As of version 2011.02.28.00 of ARC, voice recognition has been implemented and works in Windows Vista and Windows 7. It will not work in Windows XP, although we are investigating how to make it happen.
Each phrase can be user defined. And for each phrase, there is a corresponding script command. The Config window displays all available commands. The script commands are the same as the scripting engine.
The Voice Recognition Control will listen to your Default Audio Device. You will need to verify a default audio device is selected by visiting the Control Panel -> Sound and checking the Recording tab.
Have you had any luck getting the voice recognition to work with XP?
XP does not contain the speech recognition engine. You can install it by following these directions: How to install and configure speech recognition in Windows XP
I have never tried it, but i hear it works!
That is great DJ. You just made my day. Do you know if this will work with the speach synthesis as well?
It works GREAT DJ. Thanks a bunch.
That's awesome to hear! I'll add that link to the Tutorial
So I installed the Speech Recognition in WinXP but I haven't been getting good results, I've tried a USB and a regular 3.5mm jack Microphone but still seem to be getting the same error:
"Voice recognition was not able to start. There is either no listening device or the your operating system is not supported"
Anyone have any suggestions or has anyone experienced this?
I can confirm that under the Control Panel -> Speech that both Microphones were getting picked up and working on the audio level bar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using windows 7 but had error I think was the same. In area were you see sound devices and such(haven't used xp in while) just check you have something selected as the default device. For me I just right clicked the mic I had plugged in and just clicked "set as default device" as soon as I did that, started up ez-b and was working!
Thanks for the reply Gunny!
Well I did try what you said and set my mic up as the default device using the control panel and configured the mic and all that good stuff.
I was also able to get voice recognition working in Wordpad I just had to click on my mic icon in the lower right taskbar and then hit the Diction icon as well.
I then was pumped that it was all working and went again to try it in ARC but had the same result, the same error listed above. I was able to get speech synthesis working though which I believe also gets installed at the same time you install the voice recognition software.
I was getting the computer to call me "Master!" on Joystick button presses, quite funny, but I'm still stuck on getting the Voice recognition to work in XP.
Anyone else had any luck with Voice/speech recognition in WinXP???
