what errors do u get

Hi DJ, No errors, just nothing happens.

You might have to adjust your volume for your microphone. To do that..

1. right click on the little speaker on your system tray

2. Select "Recording Devices"

3. On the Recording tab of Sound, you'll notice a little VU meter beside the active device. Make sure your active device is indeed the microphnoe you want to use. By making sounds, the VU meter should move.

4. Double Click on the active device and there is a "Levels" tab for the microphone volume. I have my volume set for 78. Play around with different volumes until you see your voice is being picked up by the VU meter.

If you move the window with the volume over, you can see the VU meter as you adjust the volume slider. This will allow you to fine tune it. You will want the VU meter to pick up your voice around the middle. If it is too high, the recognition software will not work.

DJ, Checked all that again and all seems to be as it should. Still nothing.

Bookmaker I know this is stating the bleedin obvious (I'm British) but do you actually have a microphone on your new PC?

if so is it installed correctly check in control panel. Install something like Skype and check that works out.

Make sure the confidence level in the speech recognition config panel is set to 0.90

Thanks Winstn however been there and dun that. I even tried another mic and both work just fine with any other progaram. I know it is just a setting but I simply can not find it. I spent all of today trying again and have nothing to show for it. Anyone else with a suggestion, no matter how obvious, please let me know. Many thanks in advance.

Haha, that's a strange one. First, you have to have the EZ-B connected. There has to be an EZ-B connected on board #0 .. How about that?

Ha Ha, Very funny! Extremely perplexing.
