Hi Donna, When you messed around with that calibration slider, did you move it to a higher or lower setting? Johnny On Nov 15, 2011, at 10:23 AM, Goodin, Donna wrote: > Hey Greg, > > Thanks! That seems to have done the trick. I hadn't messed with the > calibration because I had no way to t

Lol. I'll have to try that. I'd honestly rather have to say "Amadeus" or whatever than to hold the key down. Don't know why, but I think the idea of it being completely hands-free would be very cool. Cheers, Donna On Nov 16, 2011, at 8:15 AM, Yuma Decaux wrote: > I believe some obscure latin

I believe some obscure latin word can do the trick, or try something in a foreign language. I mean, our computers are all assembled elsewhere, right? ;) On 17/11/2011, at 12:58 AM, Goodin, Donna wrote: > Hi Yuma, > > thanks. I don't think I'm quite their yet, but have been tweaking the >

Hi Yuma, thanks. I don't think I'm quite their yet, but have been tweaking the calibration and it seems to be helping. Also good to have my experience confirmed that the key press is the better way to go. Funny that the name you came up with was Amadeus. It also occurred to me that having

Hi Donna, Greg is right about the calibration. And just as you have tried it, the constant listening method is a bit quirky as it seems as though the constant chatter of voice over while we use the computer can probably overwhelm the listening algorithms. So the best approach is really to keep

Hey Greg, Thanks! That seems to have done the trick. I hadn't messed with the calibration because I had no way to tell when it was set right, but the adjustment I made seems to have improved recognition significantly. Cheers, donna On Nov 15, 2011, at 10:12 AM, Greg Aikens wrote: > Hi Donna,

Hi Donna, I haven't looked at this in a while, but there is a button labelled calibrate in the speech recognition dialog. It should bring up a slider that you can move around until it is more accurate. I can't tell you what the slider does, just that that I moved it around until it was more ac

Hi all, I've been playing around again with speech recognition following Yuma's posts yesterday. My experience is that it seems to work about 3 out of ten times. Is this others experience? Yuma, you seem to be having a lot of success, did you tweak anything in the settings to improve recogni
