Problems with Voice Recognition in classroom setting

[Gary Drost]

I have to configure the Voice Recognition portion of Office 2003 in a
classroom of 28 computers used by students in a high school. The lab
communicates with a server running Windows 2003 Server and all the
workstations have Windows 2000 Pro. All updates are loaded.

Since this is a high school, the students do not have a lot of rights to the
local PC and are using roaming profiles. I think this is a major factor
regarding my problem. If a student logs into a PC, enables the voice
recognition in Word, goes through the training, logs off the PC, comes back
the next day and logs in using the SAME PC, then it appears to work okay.
If they come in the next day and use a different PC, it will know that they
have trained the voice recognition but for some reason it doesn't know how
to access this information, and furthermore, will not allow them to train
again - it gives an error (I don't have it handy but can find out what it
is).

Has anyone else ever run into this situation and, if so, how did you solve
it? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

The "training" is machine/user combination specific. Assigned seating is
still appropriate in some situations.
