I'm sure it rocks, but it seems to be utterly impossible to use in any other Windows XP than one with
English language settings. I'm just getting a message "Failed to create the command recognition context. -> Failed to init voce rec" ...
So, it doesn't work on my Finnish Windows even though it is XP (with SP2). It seems that I'd need a ******* American English version of Microsoft Office to make speech recognition work on this computer...
...What makes me even more bitter, my Opera actually DOES recognize spoken commands quite well. But this FS2 feature seems to be dependant of Windows' own(ed) feature that is nor present in all language settings. Bad. Thing. Is there any possibility to make this feature use some other method to recognize speech? Because I don't know how the hell I'm supposed to make this thing work. All the help files considering speech recognition just keep telling me to click nonexistent buttons or entries or choose a feature that is seemingly not available. Arrrrr....
I bet this is the problem with Starfox also, being Finnish like me. Oh boy, does this suck... The
API mentioned earlier doesn't really help at all either, it's just a bunch of files that can't be used. Unless someone knows how they can be used, they're not any use as they are, I would neet something to actually USE them...
I really hope that you people can rig this system to use some other kind of system to recognize voice commands, I really have no intention to buy an American English (or simplified/traditional chinese or japanese) version of Microsoft Office to get this working. Otherwise it would be a very nice feature, if it worked for all.
