Speech Recognition - UAC Issue

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm trying to use speech recog. for the first time, and I ran into an issue
that I'm hoping can be resolved. When I try to use a control panel, or
anything that UAC would require the popup box "continue" or "cancel" to come
up, I'm required to press one of the buttons. I've tried every command I can
think of to choose one of the buttons with speech recognition, but I am
unable to do so. Does anyone know a way around this? My dreams of not having
to use my arms is nearly complete!

"Show Numbers"
say the number, then "OK"

Did you try "Click OK" ?
or "Click Cancel"?

Can't help you with your question but would like to ask
whether speech recognition works well for you other-
wise. I tried it and it really wouldn't recognize very much..
Maybe it's supposed to be fully workong only on the
english version of RC2, not the german one? BTW, this
is on a Core Duo laptop with 1.5 GB RAM, on my 2 GHz
desktop with 1 GB sr is crawling, CPU usage is 100%
all of the time and it seems that sr doesn't do anything
at all..

It worked well wit RC-1.
It worked while running BOINC Simap distributed computing project
(uses all your spare CPU cycles. 100% CPU all the time.)
*Me* learning the commands is the biggest problem :^)
It even doe fairly well with homonyms, which is great. There might be
some sort of predictive mechanism to extrapolate from context.

Hi. The workaround would be to go to the Local Security Policy (secpol.msc)
and turn off "Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation"
security setting.

Tim,

I have reported your problem via the Microsoft beta reporting tool for
Vista. I was able to replicate the problem.

I have only had two problems with speech recog, the first as I've reported
here, and second is after SR learned my voice a bit, when I say "Start" and
then "show numbers" it now types it into the finder, moderately annoying,
probably really annoying if you didnt have arms since you could not select
the taskbar. Aside from that SR works beautifully. I had tried it a bit in
RC1, and skipped the tutorial, which made it impossible to use with my
minnesotan accent (cross norse/canadian). After running the tutorial, and
manually tweaking a few works (about etc), I was able to make it work great!
Now I just wish I could add commands to it, so I could say "shutdown now" and
the like and the computer would shut down, or special programs to run micro
commands. But that's for another thread I suppose

"Start Listening" if not

"Start Menu"
"Shutdown"
Works for me.

That's strange. My guess is, this might be related to localization
issues.

No it is wit my head :/ I missed *reading* the "UAC dialog" part of
your OP.
UAC = Vista gets stupid and loses its other benefits.
Better minds than mine will need to figure *how* to make this work
*without* opening a truck sized hole in UAC needed security.

Maybe it's my "bad habit" of snipping to much, but I'm not the OP,
instead I'm the guy who just has trouble using SR, since it really
doesn't work/recognize well on my install of the German version
of RC2. On my stationary box (2.0 GHz/1GB RAM) it's crawling
anyway, on my laptop (Core Duo/1.5 GB RAM) it runs much bet-
ter, but still doesn't recognize much of what I say. Maybe I should
look for a better mic or it's really that SR is much better on the Eng-
lish version of RC2.

How do you go to the local security policy (secpol.msc)? I tried typing in
into the run command at did and work. I have this problem and I'm running
vista premium so I need is to correct a problem.

Thanks,
Mark

For Vista Home versions (Basic and Premium) there is no secpol.msc.
Microsoft figures home users would get into too much trouble if they
could change security policies in a nice easy user interface. Instead
you need to use regedit:

Find the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
\System\PromptOnSecureDesktop

Change the value to 0
