          hi.  just installed powerhome and got the web server up
           | Posted: October 23 2011 at 05:04 | IP Logged |   |

 |  and running.  pretty excited to hit the gas and use some
 of the other features now.
 
 I'm struggling with voice recognition.  Despite Win XP
 recognizing my microphone plugged into my soundcard, I
 get the following error when reinitializing PowerHome
 after setting up VR:
 
 "An error occurred while attempting to initialize the
 voice recognition engine.  Voice Recognition will not be
 active."
 
 This makes me sad as I feel I'm doing right-ish stuff and
 VR is just turning out wrongish.  Thanks in advance for
 any help.

          First thing I would check is to make sure your installed
           | Posted: October 26 2011 at 20:38 | IP Logged |   |  
           | 
 |  the "optional" VR downloads (available on the downloads
 page).  You would need to install the spchapi first
 followed by the VR package.  I would also install the TTS
 as well if you havent done that.
 
 Based upon the error you're getting, it doesnt look like
 the VR modules were installed or they didnt install
 properly.
 
 Let me know,
 
 Dave.

          Hmm.  Now I'm struggling to get through the recognition
           | Posted: October 27 2011 at 15:59 | IP Logged |   |  
           | 
 |  training.  It'll let me speak through the first lesson,
 then it stops recognizing mic input on the second lesson.
 I can go back, then get through the first and second, but
 not the third.  And so on 'til like the fourth where it
 just won't recognize anymore.
 
 Any ideas?
 
 Colin

 Hmmm...Im not sure what would be going on here since at
 this point its all in the Microsoft VR engine.  Since
 you've gone through some of the training, can you actually
 get PowerHome to respond to the VR?  I know I only ever did
 just the first couple of lessons and got pretty good
 results.
 
 Dave.
