I tried 2 different Logitech mics (designed for use with
PlayStation2)--the first one was doing very well for 2
days. Then, the menus starting dropping down again, making
it impossible to continue. I'd be happy to buy a better
mic though I'd have to order it online (we don't have much
variety here on Maui). A more sensitive mic will just pick
up more extraneous noise, though, and that won't solve the
problem, will it?

In any case, I'll try to order a digital Sony uSB mic if
you think it will help (is that all the info I need to
start searching?)

You said the modem also produces noise. Do you mean random
static noise internally? Or audible noise externally? In
either case, how can I work around it? I'm using a PCS2200
cable modem.

I noticed that the Recognition Profile Setting (under
Speech Properties) on the control panel doesn't really
make a difference. That is, when I change the
Pronunciation Sensitivity from low to high or vice versa,
I notice no difference in the response to my voice
commands. Is that normal?

Thanks for your help! (Wow, this is beginning to take a
lot of time and $$ to solve--is that normal?)

I cannot get speech recognition to work at all in Word.
Any suggestions? When I select it there is no response.
I can train the speech in control penel though. Thanks

Joe,

Go ahead and start a new message for your question. We're
both more likely to get a response, I think.
