Are you connected to your EZ-B? For some reason, Speech Reco only works when an EZ-B is connected even though it is not using any EZ-B hardware for the function.

Yes i have tried it both disconnected and connected, the speech recognition works fine in windows itself ie for dictation etc etc just when i select it in ARC i get the no listening device or unsupported operating system come up, is it because im using windows 7 64 bit ? its a good laptop im using so i dont think its hardware related ? everything else works fine just speech recognition ? help lol

regards Kurt

Just as a side note i have tried it on another win 7 pc i have and that gives the same error, its a brand new pc this one so i cant believe thats its hardware related on two seperate windows machines one is 32bit one is 64 bit, could it be a problem with the software itself i wonder ? again on the second pc i have tried it with the ezb connected and disconnected so gets more and more strange

Thanks Kurt

I'm running a Dell Studio laptop with Windows 7, 64 bit. Speech Regog works ok just a little hiccup every once in awhile. It periodically skips one particular say command. Maybe DJ will get a chance to look into this...............like he's got nuthin"else to do LOL.

hehe yeah he is a busy guy, its my only issue really, strange how its the same on both laptops ones a dell the others an asus, both win 7 one 64bit one 32bit exactly the same issue on both systems, cant understand why it shouldnt work if speech recognition works ok in windows itself, even tried a different mic, just i kinda need it for the project im gonna build up so .... help DJ plzzz ;-)

Thanks Kurt

Hey Pacomms

I got same error when i first tried doing voice recognition. Try going into Sound settings and in there selecting the microphone and make sure it is set as the defualt recording device. I think you just right click and select the option.

Another issue i remember reading on forums once was that Windows voice recognition cant be active, as that feature will take over and stop the EZ voice rec from working. I didnt have to look into that so not sure were you go to turn it off. But I think a icon or window will pop up when its running.

I also remember a former post where someone wasn't getting any love from Speech Recognition on Windows 7. I believe the issue they experienced was corrected by updating the Firmware on the EZ-B. They had not been using the most recent.

I hope you find a solution!

Do you have a listening device selected?
