I am getting the same error code "Voice recognition was not able to start. There is either no listening device or your operating system is not supported" DJ, have you had any luck finding a solution. It appears even though we have windows voice recognition installed EZ-B does not like XP.

DJ, Is there a chance that there may be a solution to the XP compatibility issue with voice recognition?

I can take a look in my XP virtual machine. I dont' know how much time i'd spend on it because XP is pretty much depricated Win7 is pretty decent on all sorts of hardware these days Unless you're hardware is 5 years old haha

Any time spent will be greatly appreciated by alot of us "behinders". Major thanks in advance from the bookkmaker.

Yeah I'd greatly appreciate as well, as all the software I own has been purchased for XP and it'll take some time to move up to Windows 7 (financially speaking). Personally I think many businesses and individuals will be using XP for the next couple years until they are forced from it.

Here's a plus: Native WinXP can run off CF cards (233X speed and higher recommended), I know because I have a small form factor PC doing that very thing. As storage technology improves we should be able to boot XP off microSD cards without much lag and run windows on very small devices which gives us the ability to use ARC on-board our robots (as some are already doing)!!! I'm sure you already saw where I was going with that

Please don't discount XP as it can run on as little 4GB of storage, and that's without optimization. So I can see all the higher end electronics (laptops, PCs, etc) will move to Win7 and higher versions, but on the horizon we'll probably be seeing smaller form factor electronics (cell phones, tiny netbooks, etc.) running native XP.

okay okay okay.. I'll see what I can do for you living in the past

DJ, We are still living in the past. Have you made any headway on voice recogniion for us XP dinosaurs?

It's on the list of to-do's

The list is very very very long
