THANXX ALOT ...YOU PEOPLE ARE SOOO HELPFUL AND AWESOME...I APPRECIATE IT

They are a great bunch of guys aren't they. True enthusiasts to robot building.

any luck yet?

nooo not yet..this time if i open the ARC i try to add a control,it tells me "voice recognition was not able to start your device.there is either no listening device or your operating system is not supported"....eventhough i wasnt getting this massage earlier,i tried to configure the microfone and setting up the inbuilt speech recognition on my pc..i think i messed everything up..any help please?

I get that message but I have another program open using the mic which is what I put it down to (it may not be, I've not looked in to it as voice recognition isn't high priority yet).

It may pay to check nothing else is using the voice recognition in Windows though, either the built in windows voice recognition program or another third party program.

so is there some kind of solution to this issue or i would just have to forget about the speech recognition..i really need the speech recognition badly...i dont really know,but adding you on skyping and helping me out with the whole robot setup would be soo helpful and cuul...

I really think the problem is something on your computer not being set or set properly. We have a couple Windows experts here on the forum that are always helping. One has already added to this thread. If you really need this like you say I would suggest if you cant do it yourself then you take it in to a local computer repair store had have them look at it for you and get it working. That may be the fastest and less stressful solution for you.

apparantly,if i speak i canhear myself talking...#sigh..i think i really configured something wrongly
