Can anyone tell me how to turn the speak recognition OFF, get some crazy
e-mails in the office !!
 
Graham,
Say 'Stop Listening' or Click on Microphone in large icon (default at top of
screen) (actually puts it to sleep if running on AC power)

Right click on small microphone icon in lower right select 'off'

LaRoux ahd Michael have told you how it turn it off for the current session, but if it
keeps turning back on when you reboot, you need to do one thing more:

Open the Control Panel and click "Classic View" in the side panel. Double-click "Speech
Recognition Options", then click "Advanced speech options" in the side panel. In the
resulting dialog (titled "Speech Properties"), click the Speech Recognition tab, then,
in the section marked "User Settings", uncheck "Run Speech Recognition at startup".
Finish by clicking OK to close the dialog.

HTH. HAND. :)
 
Many thanks for that, Glenn!
Speech Recognition at start-up was really annoying me -- taking so long
every time waiting for it to "sleep" before being able to switch it off.
It was getting very tiresome.

Your reply did the trick.
Thanks again.
 
Thanks Glen, thats exactly what I wanted.

Hello again, works with one user but not the other !!

Hmm. An educated guess: Disabling Speech Recognition the way I described
probably works on a per-user basis. The other user will probably need to
disable SR using the steps I described earlier while under his/her own
login.

I personally have no way of testing this myself, since I'm the only user on
my PC (running Vista Ultimate).
