I've no idea where to put this but my Vista Speech Recognition has been on a
crash course of failure.
When I first begun using Vista Recognition, it was okay for the first few
days. Seemed to pick up everything that I said and was okay. It did however
deteriate rapidly. These are the things that it begun doing:
1. Selective hearing. It would often refuse to go to words that I
specificed, for example 'correct dog' or 'select dog'. It just would not go
to it. I would need to restart the PC for it to fix itself and it would only
do it for a short amount of time.
This is also boiling over when I say 'show numbers' or specify a number on a
show numbers list. It just refuses to recognise me saying it, yet when I told
it to type the number in on Wordpad - it was fine.
2. Lag. This is the biggest issue, it lags ridiculously. This is probably
the biggest problem now. It just takes AGGGESSS to respond.
3. Incorporation of 'if' into 75% of everything I say. Sometimes it will
recognise me saying 'select all' or 'correct that' as 'if select all' or 'if
correct that' and therefore type in 'if'. The amount of if's that it gets out
of nowhere is ridiculous. There doesn't even have to be any sound for it to
do it.
4. Turns itself on. It won't respond when I say 'start listening' but it
will however turn itself on when it is sleeping sometimes.
5. Irritants like me trying to get it to 'show numbers' or 'Save Picture
As...' completely fail. It claims 'This command is not avaliable' sometimes
when there is no reason whatsoever why it shouldn't be.
And my Microphone is fine. Everyone hears me fine and when it Voice
Recognition actually functions as it is supposed to, it recognises what I say
fine (with the exception of typing ridiculous amounts of 'if'. I have also
run the tutorial and tried the Improve Speech Recognition numerous times
over. They only grant temporary solutions.
What is irritating me most about this, is that it has nothing to do with my
dictation - it seems to be something in the software.
