version 0.887b

[Kalle]

well, I don't actually know what the problem is, so it is hard to fix it.

Ok, I will summarize:

1. I update the version 0886 to 0887
2. starting the 0887 version (us-en in VC-options) and run it, no errors.
3. when I say a command, nothing happens, the volume indicator works.
4. grammars rebuild and restart, the same.
5. change in VC options to German language, and restart - all works fine
6. change back to english language, and it is the same as in point 3
7. Copy the voxcommando.exe (887) to a folder with a backup of a Ver. 0886 and overwrite the Ver.886 voxcommando.exe, all works fine in both language with 887. I dont know why, but it works.

OK Kalle, thanks for summarizing.  I will have to install German on my machine to experiment.

after step 6, because you changed the language back to english, it is expected that you need to rebuild the grammars.  This is normal.

I don't understand why you have trouble after upgrading though if you didn't change anything in the options.  I will have to try some things to figure out what is happening.

Thanks James, I've left no stone unturned, but I had no success. I could imagine that it's one of the dll's which is causing the problem, as I said, if I only copy voxcommando.exe(0887) in the folder with the 0886 and overwrite the exe, all works.

I don't think any of the dlls have changed since 886.  I think it is more likely that it has something to do with the options file. 

Please try the following, using only a fresh install of 887, or a version that you patched to version 887.  (not one where you copied files back to 886)

- Change the recognition language to English in VC options
- close VC
- delete the SRGS folder
- start VC

Ok, noted the problem is with the Speech API.
Desktop language changed to English, VC started, en-us in VC works fine.
Change in VC to German, do not work.
Curiously, when the desktop language is returned to German, works in VC only with English not with german. 
I am assuming the VC does not change the language properly or something is lost, everything works fine in version 0886.

Hello Kalle and James,

I changed language to PT BR in O.S. Win 7, VC started ok in this situation, setting Option SR = en-us ->  VC works fine here, no problem.
Tested all comands, and worked fine, is fact what Windows in PT no support for speech recognition,  distinct German OS Windows, but is
more one reference to James, vox work in other language in the new version.

New test, after rebuild grammars, the same situation Kalle happens here, no work too, before it´s ok, only after I rebuild grammars in PT BR OS
the situation appears.

For work correct is necessary rebuild the grammars with OS in english in my case.

thank you both very much for your help with this.   I think I had a moment of inspiration.

I create a new thread for each group to speed up loading, but each thread needs to have its culture updated to match the speech engine (stupid Microsoft thing).  In the past I thought only the form had to have a culture that matches the speech engine culture.

Please try with this updated .exe

I was able to test quickly, by using english GB I was able to get the same error and this seems to have fixed it.

A very minor thing.  When you push the button to patch Media Monkey, the dialogue box has changes spelled incorrectly.

The warning feature that lists all of the songs with names that are too long is an excellent addition.  Is there any way to print the list out?

yes, you can copy and paste from the log file: "voxLog.txt"

In case you didn't already read about it above you can also set the maximum length in advanced options.
