Solved!

OK, it seems ARC doesn't like the UK profile (or anything but US I am assuming) for VR (perhaps something for a future update if DJ has time, although the following fixes it... in a way)

Click start
Click control panel
View by Large Icons
Double click Speech Recognition
Click Advanced Speech Options
Change the language to US.

Click OK
Accept the popup stating it will be changed next time Speech Recognition is started.

It should now work in ARC (please let me know either way)

Go back to speech properties (as in my last message) and click on the "train profile" button. All recognition training is done in windows not ARC.

ARC Speech Recognition tutorial is at http://www.ez-robot.com/Tutorials/Help.aspx?id=90

When you first add speech recognition it auto populates with a few commands, add your own and the script(s) for the command then just say the command.

You will need to have the robot's servos and Movement Panel set up before anything will work, speech recognition can only control what you have told ARC is there.

Check it works by adding speech recognition and say "robot move forward" and it should move forward provided you have set up the movement panel.

Follow the tutorials and it all becomes clear, the best way is to build the EZ-BoxBot which DJ has provided many video tutorials for which will guide you through the whole process from unpacking the EZ-Robot Complete Kit.

i have realised that,the software used in the video tutorials looks different from mine cos when you "add control" i go to "speech", i see 3 other options which are "speech recognition",speech synthesis and speech synthesis settings...i chose speech recognition..i get a "a speech recognition window " instead of "voice recognition" window that i can configure the commands...after i added a command,i dont get to see that "green writing" on the speech recogntion window.

There was a GUI change recently which has made it look different but the functions are all the same.

Click config
You get this pop up

Add in your commands and scripts etc.

In which case it is a windows speech recognition issue and indicates you need to set up speech recognition more. Run through all of the help on speech recognition that windows gives, make sure your microphone is set up correctly, speak clearly and train windows (google for it if you need more help, there are literally thousands of sites with information on them about training windows Speech Recognition).
#37  
i only get the vu meter beside the "config" button move up and down when i speak but i dont have the confirmation...please how do i add an image here...i could take a snapshot of my screen
United Kingdom
#38  
I don't need a snapshot:)

It's picking up your voice but it's not recognising you. You need to train windows speech recognition to better recognise your voice. Run the training again, click on all of the help links in windows for training speech recognition.

There really is nothing anyone but you can do as it's not understanding you but everything else is fine.
#39  
alright man...thanx a bunch..i really appreciate it...would try the training again...:)

RIch, DJ should put you on the payroll. You're a real asset for them and us. I hope you don't burn out. Thanks! :)

I like to help out where I can, I know I will be asking for help on some things so it's only fair. Plus sometimes I need a little change from the robot build or whatever. When it's something that gets solved and helps out others the satisfaction is thanks enough:)
#42
