at this point, there is not much of a FM to read
, but the forum can be a good resource. Feel free to ask questions. Others have had this problem.
There is only one thing I know of that could cause this problem. Do you have your language set to english UK in WSR advanced settings? If so change it to english US. This is a bug in the windows SAPI which is what I am using for the recognition engine. Somehow it gets confused into thinking that the display language does not match the speech language, and refuses to listen. It doesn't generate an error or anything though! Microsoft... (other than this bug the sapi engine is actually awesome)
also if you are starting from scratch anyway, you might as well start with the "new" version. 0.79. It is much more powerful, and since it involves a bit of a shift in how things are done, you might as well start with it rather than learning the old system.
0.79 is only on the forum
http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=41.00.8 will be on the download page after some bugs are ironed out.
let me know how it goes!
