That fixed it indeed.
Could you elaborate quickly how the learning mode works?
Thx, painy
VC uses the Windows built in speech engine. By default, the windows engine will always try to learn your accent as you use it. This is good if you are the only person using it, and you are in a quiet environment, but this is not always the case.
In VC if the "learning mode" box is checked, then whenever VC understands a command, it should improve its accurace for your accent, especially for that command or similar commands. If it doesn't understand you, then nothing happens. If the box is not check, then it does not learn.
If you have a strong accent, then you should always do the windows training whenever you first create a new speech profile. This is a more powerful form of learning, because it is only using one sentence at a time, and it also does some important things for new profiles, like determine if you are a man or a woman.
Once you have the profile well trained for you voice, it is best to leave learning turned off, especially if you leave your microphone on all the time. Certain repeating sounds (dogs barking etc.) could fool the engine and if it thinks that it understood a command it could start to learn the dog bark instead of your accent!
This is not all 100 science or fact, because Microsoft does not make this information easy to find. Some of it is rumour, some of it is based on what "seems" to happen. I do have a access to a sapi command that lets me change the setting for learning mode to "off". I do not know
exactly what it does.
Is there something in particular that I can explain more clearly?
