 release of script for Windows Speech Recognition

Hi Everyone,

On a related topic and my learning how to use VB I ran into an
interesting problem which may relate to registering but have not found any
cure when searching the web.

I made up a VBS script using a class for the Sapi 5 voices which also
included Sapi 4 methods. But when creating the object...creatobject(
"activevoice.activevoice") it says the object was not created, can't create
object error!
All web examples said to use the regsvr32 xvoice.dll to register the
Sapi 4 but it failed and said it was registered, but did not fix the
problem.

This error only comes when using IE and calling a function on an HTML
page. I am not on a server, just calling a .html file from a folder on my
computer. If I just use the vbs script and not IE it works with no problems.

So, I have tried every method I can find but it still will not create
the object inside my class method, but does create the Sapi 5 sapi.sp
object.

Any help will be appreciated. The only thing I thought but have not done
is go and get the ProgID from the registry instead.

Please give me the way to do this. I am not using .net formats yet, just
a simple VBS script.

Hi all,

I have just released a script for the free speech recognition which is built
into Windows Vista and Windows 7. This capability allows you to both
dictate text into applications, and to control them, select menu choices,
click buttons, switch windows, and otherwise operate Windows completely
hands free. There is also an optional component, which you usually have to
download from the MS site, called WSR macros, which allows you to define
your own verbal commands and their actions (this is included in my WSR
script).
