Integrating English Speech recognition?

[Guest]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to know if its possible to have a English version of Speech
Recognition in the Dutch version of Windows Vista Business edition. By either
way downloading/installing/upgrading or adding it to Windows Vista or am I
obligated to totally reinstall Windows Vista in English version?

Thanks in advance,

Pim

Ooh! This sounds really kewl! How does this work? I would like to be able
to have a means of translating what I write into Arabic, Japanese, and
Spanish automatically as well as the reverse (those languages into English)
since I deal so much with these three languages. Being the grampa that I am
in and so out of touch with modern technology, I would like to know if we
have this technology yet and if that is what you are talking about. If so,
wow! A dream come true! Especially for a man who enjoys his second
childhood as much as I am.

No sorry that was not what I meant, I meant if I could use a English version
of the Speech recognition program in my current language of Windows Vista.
Because the Dutch version of Windows Vista doesnt come with a Speech
recognition and the English one does, so the question is if theres a
standallone kinda like version of the English Speech recognition wich I can
use in the Dutch version of Windows Vista.

On Vista Ultimate and Enterprise you can install a lang-pack which allows
you to switch the UI language to English and then use English Speech
Recognition {requires a log-off and log-on}.

But generally the Speech Recognition in Vista has to match the language of
the UI - otherwise all the speakable menu options, start menu etc. would be
in Dutch but the recognizer would be listening for English and it would get
a bit strange.
