AAO v2.8.2 Voice Activation

Note: There is reports this does not work on vista

First, download Microsoft's Speech Recognition Application: (This is the file you want SpeechSDK51.exe 68MB)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en

Next You will have to setup and train the speech regocnition software. To do this in Windows xp go to Start > Control Panel > Speech

And in the new window that pops up, setup up your microphone down the bottom... "Configure Microphone"

You can also click Settings to change the way Windows handles pronunciation and accuracy and response time. (i didnt worry about this)

Next click on the Text To Speech tab at the top and select a voice...i chose Sample TTS Voice as it seems to be the most realistic.

Now select the Speech Recognition tab at the top again and select Train Profile

In this new window i recommend you do all the training as i have done 4 and it is still not quite accurate....

I have used this about 2 years ago for navigating around my computer...e.g start would bring up the start menu and stuff and it worked great...but i also did all the training.

Configuring AAO Speech Recognition Command Binds

1. Go to "Settings" -> "Input" -> "Configuration Controls" tab
