Sethi, that is a strange error. I can not reproduce. Can you open DEBUG and tell me if anything is displayed in the DEBUG window?

  • What operating system are you using?
  • Does your computer have a sound card?

"Toegang geweigerd" means access denied.

Your user profile does not seem to have permission. If you are not the administrator of that computer, ask for speech recognition permission. Otherwise, your account is limited.
