Voice Recognition Was Not Able To Start

"Voice recognition was not able to start. There is either no listening device or your operating system is not supported" That's the message I get when I try to add speech recognition.

I can record sounds using the microphone function and sound servo also works, so I assume there is a listening device?

When I quit speech recognition, I get a message saying that "The index is out of reach"

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? OS is Windows 7 professional.

Thanks in advance!

Which language is your voice profile set to (in Windows Control Panel)? I believe it needs to be set to English (EN-US) unless this has since been changed in ARC.

I did some searching and If I'm not mistaken, I can't switch to EN-US in Windows Professional. I'd have to upgrade to Windows Ultimate, which will set me back 135 Euro's. If that's the only way to get voice recognition to work, it would be a major bummer!

After some more searching I found out that downloading extra languages (for free) is also possible in Windows 8. Luckily, I had another laptop that's running Windows 8. I downloaded and installed the necessary files and set up speech recognition. It's working fine now, thanks for the tip, Rich!

You can only download different languages if you have Windows 7 Premium or Ultimate. You can upgrade your Windows 7 version, but it will cost you (as stated, I'm running Windows 7 Professional on my other computer and the upgrade would cost me 135 Euro's)
