Windows Speech Recognition Macros

Question

Dear Sir or Madam,

I’ve got problems starting Windows Speech Recognition Macros. Whilst Windows Speech Recognition itself runs fine, the macros just won’t start but prompt the error message: „Can't start speech macros—Windows speech recognition macros was unable to initialize its command system to begin operation“. I’ve already found that thread (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows\_vista-windows\_programs/wsr-macros-error/689ade0e-87e1-4d40-b24a-ee9e19ebe4fc) and followed those suggestions without success.

On a private forum I’ve just read of somebody encountering this problem only when trying to run WSR Macros by autostart, but not when starting it manually later. Might it be that WSR Macros requires something—e. g. a service running—which usually (and on his machine) isn’t started right after startup but somewhat later, and which on my machine in contrast isn’t started at all for some reason? Many thanks in advance and

Best Regards

Robert

p.s.: Here some details on my system:

Windows 7 Home Premium

6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601

x64 based PC

Intel Core i3 CPU 2.93 GHz

Answer 1

Hi Mr Markoe,

Exactly, that’s the message. I’ve now tried switching Windows’ input language from German (which I’m normally using, but in school we’ve learnt BE) to US-English, without success. I don’t think that the language causes the problem, either—the software is commonly used in Germany as well, see this forum (http://www.michael-nohns.de/Forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=145&p=738#p738) where I’ve now also asked for a solution.

The small blue symbol appears, but only as long as the error message is present, and it doesn’t react to clicking.

Best regards,

Robert Pfeffer

Hi all.  I want to bump this thread, and I have experienced the same exact  problem as Robert and have not yet seen a solution that works.

Thank You

Neither do i . I already tried every single thing . There are a lot of people out there using the voice regonition perfectly just by clicking it . And several errors are still here to people like us , i use windows 7 home basic , and the one that comes with it doesn't work , so i've downloaded a new one

from the microsoft website , with my validation code. And there's the same error. Still trying to figure out what it is . By the error message it's obvious to know that so many things can cause the same problem , so why distribute a service with a software that never works ? It should be more simple , this is an extremely needed device. And it takes hundreds of process to make it work .

I know this is an old thread, but i just encountered the same problem a few days ago. I did everything to try and fix it, the only thing that worked was to go back and restore my laptop to a point when macros was running smoothly, create a new signing certificate and resign all the macros. Its functioning just fine now. The restore was not a problem for me since the laptop is brand new, if you've had this problem a while, restoring to a point that far back may be a big problem, especially if you have a lot of programs you downloaded since then. But if your willing to lose those for a little while this works!! Also the restore does not affect your documents etc. at all, so dont worry about losing content. Just content on a program you've downloaded since the point you would need to go back to. But like i said, was not a problem for me since the laptop is only a week or so old. All i lost was mozila firefox, which ill just reinstall. Hope this helps somebody!!

My dear Robert:

Re:  WSR*-Macros - actuation / de-actuation processes:

  I have also encountered these same problematic circumstances whilst I was operating my terminal with WSR.  As you might have determined, your Speech Recognition file program needs to be "active" and in some other modality than that of "off".  Whether your WSR is "sleeping" or one of the "listening" modalities, the WSR Macro will open for you, once you call-up the WSR file.  Once the WSR file is functional, simply open [click] on your terminal's >>> "Start" push-button; then select "All Programs" from the "Start" menu of choices; type "speech" into the "Start" push-button's "browser".  Your WSR file and your WSR Macros choice of selections will appear.  These are your only choice options.  Provided, that you have already started your terminal's WSR file, your WSR Macros file should automatically open, upon your intended desire for the WSR Macros to be "opened".

     Robert: the opening of your WSR Macros should activate with ease, as described afore; if your WSR or WSR Macros - do not open as described afore; when you might think about doing a "re-installation" of your WSR file; which will then require that you also "re-install" your WSR Macros file, too.

      Robert: your next level of severity is that you will need to download the latest version of WSR and WSR Macros, from the Microsoft Store, OEM source.  The OEM Speech Recognition product has an easy to understand Table of Use - Instructions included (embedded) into it.

WSR* = Windows Speech Recognition

P.S. - Robert: as a matter of simple practicality, if before you power-down your device, you simple open another boiler-plate copy version of your potential new composition, and just leave it "open" when you power-down your terminal, then you will already have a working a/k/a readily available WSR Macros template, from which to grow your "protected" document.

Best of Fortune, Robert, et al:
