Unable to launch Vista Speech Recognition wizard.

Hi,

I have a Lenovo X61T tablet PC and I am running Vista Business 32 bit
edition on it. I have had this machine for more than 5 months now but I never
tried the speech recognition feature. Recently, I tried to launch the speech
recognition feature but an error window pops up saying it cannot launch the
speech recognition wizard. It asks me to check my audio settings, which I did
and there is no problem with them. I get the same error window even when I
try to set up my microphone. I checked all the settings for audio and speech
recognition and they all seem normal. I am not an expert on registry so I
have not looked through registry settings.

I searched Google, Microsoft forums, and all the online resources I could
and didn't find any solution to this problem. I really need this feature
enabled and would greatly appreciate any and all the help I can get on this.
Thanks.

Keith.

You get that message until you plug in the Mic.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your response. It seems to me that I am unable to launch the
speech recognition engine. It could be because the language packs that I have
installed are not working. The default engine that is installed on my machine
doesn't seem to work anymore. Is there a way I could fix it by uninstalling
or reinstalling the speech recognition engine or the language packs? I am not
even able to select the recording device under audio settings as the default
device; it is automatically selected as the default device and the "set as
default" button stays disabled (I can't click on that).

I have the SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio on my X61t. I have been
trying to find a solution to my problem for more than a week now, without any
luck. I would really appreciate all the help I can get to fix this problem.

Thanks,
Keith.

Thanks,
Keith.

Mark,

I forgot to respond to your query; no, I keep getting the same error even if
I plug in the mic.

Thanks,

Take a try at fixing the standard Windows files with SFC

Some Windows Vista functions may not work, or Windows Vista may stop

Thanks Mark. I tried "sfc/ scannow" and restarted the machine but it didn't
help. I was really hoping sfc would help but it hasn't. Any more suggestions?
I appreciate your help.

Have you tried to simply type "speech" then choosing SRO? Or uninstalling
then reinstalling your device? Then finally, you can try searching for
troubleshooting tips for the device in "Help& Support". Hope this helps.
