Prior tot he latest update my voice package was working beautifully. After the update I can hear everything but no one can hear me. I have followed the recommendations in the FAQ and still nothing. Something interesting; in my speech recognition log I have the following:Current Task: Creating the Critical Section Object... SUCCEEDED!

Windows 7 Service Pack 1

[unknown Flight Simulator]

Current Task: Creating the ISpRecognizer object... SUCCEEDED!

Microsoft Speech Recognizer 8.0 for Windows (English - US)

Current Task: Creating the ISpRecoContext object... Error Code: 0x80045003

 

The error code concerns me and is it the basis for me problem?

 

Tks

Hi Richard,

 

Did you recently run a program called "Systems Mechanic"?

 

 

It's known to damage SAPI in Windows.

 

Best,

Yes exactly, how do I fix it?

You can try doing a "Systems Restore" to the point prior to when you ran Systems Mechanic.

 

Systems Mechanic damages the Microsoft Speech Recognition API (SAPI).

 

Any program that uses SAPI on your computer will be affected, not just FS2Crew.

Bryan I did what you suggested. I went to the history in System Mechanic and did a system restore a day prior. I am getting the same result with the same message in the log ssection. Any other suggestions. I disable Systems Mechanic prior to the restore.

Hi Richard,

 

I'd suggest asking System Mechanic support. I'm not really an expert on their software.

 

They are aware of this issue though as I've discussed it with them.

 

Push comes to shove you may just have to do a clean install of Windows.

Oh ###### I don't want to do that, this is a brand new system and I just reloaded all my flight sim and I am still not finished. What aggravates me Bryan is that Dell recommended System Mechanic. I have used SM previously with your other products with no effect and curious why now. I have not tried JS41 since the trouble started I probable will have to check it out.

The other FS2Crew programs you used probably didn't use voice control.

 

System Mechanic only affects Voice Control.

 

And all programs on your computer that use Microsoft Speech Recognition like Vox ATC or any of the other 'voice' programs out there will no longer work as well.

 

Best bet is to contact System Mechnanic for advice if you don't want to re-install Windows.

 

Cheers,
