Hi David,

Yes, I have the same setup. the only thing I can not do and don't know
why and that is run the Sapi 4 on a web page, just an HTML file from my
computer. It
says: ActiveX component can't create object: 'ActiveVoice.ActiveVoice'
I used regsvr32 xvoice.dll and that did not fix the problem.
So I thought I would just see if any of you ran into that problem when
scripting.

Even in cases where you do have SAPI 5, you sometimes might have SAPI 4, and
it would work the better. For instance, on my system, I have the voices from
AT&T - Crystal and Mike. They come in both version 4 and 5. The modulation,
and also the speed setting of SAPI 4, I do find far better than that of SAPI
5 version of these voices. So, yes, most people wil have access to SAPI 5
voices, but might still want to go for their good old SAPI 4 ones.

Hi Chip,

Yes, but I like those old voices for affects and such. But it does

bring
up an interesting activeX problem. The only reason why I wanted to get it

working.

Hi Bruce,

wouldn't everyone have SAPI 5 by now? could you even count on them having
SAPI 4?

Subject: 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).
