I've been using a laptop with Vista Home and EZ-Robot for 18 months or more now and the voice recognition is accurate and stable.
As EZ-RObot moves away from Vista I am of course wanting to upgrade to Win8 but am not keen to have to retrain voice....
Anyone come across a way to migrate the voice recognition files?
I found a program which can backup voice profiles, I will see if I can find a link again. It's from XP I think and haven't checked it on anything else but it should work.
I'll update with a link shortly.
Speech Recognition Profile Manager
By saying "updating the link shortly" you mean under 60 seconds? Wow, your a treasure Rich! We're lucky to have you around.
Well I was panicking a little as I almost went over a minute but managed to do it with 3 seconds to go
I'll try to be faster next time lol.
@tameion , awesome Rich was going for the internet answer speed record there lol. Could you mark this thread as answered please? Thank you - Josh
I went to windows8 and changed the man's voice to a woman's voice. It included both.
