Robert,
I have found in my dealings with Microsoft in the past that their
technical support and customer service both suck better than a brand
new Hoover. Add to that the language barrier that inevitably crops up
because Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, has chosen to outsource its
support and customer service departments overseas and apparently has
decided that instead of employing American workers to deal with issues
from callers in the United States, or at the very least to employ
native English speakers, it is somehow more beneficial to employ
persons who are ESL, and you have a recipe for disaster. I once spent
2.5 hours on the phone with them to get a simple code to match my
product ID for Windows activation, something that should have taken 15
minutes maximum. I can only imagine the massive migraine that I will
incur trying to explain this issue, given its nature and oddity.
Trying to explain this to a native Hindi/Arabic/Palestinian/Whatever
speaker, and having them actually understand me, is probably going to
take longer than the actual solution will. The last representative
that I dealt with didn't even understand what "blind" meant. I had to
tell him that, "my eyes are broken", for him to understand me.
Therefore, with all due respect and deference, I will humbly pass.
There has got to be something in the millions and millions of pages on
the internet to help lead to a solution for this issue, whether
directly or indirectly. I just thought that perhaps another person on
this list had experienced the same, or a similar, issue. In lieu of
that, I thought that maybe you might have some ideas as to the
possible cause of the problem, given that SR is such an integral
component of IYP.

and since you cannot find any resolution after reading all of the materials
afforded you, I humbly suggest that you contact Microsoft directly to have
them resolve this bizarre case.

Yes. I tested my microphone to make sure that it was working
correctly, and it is. Next, I say, "Start listening", and then I
issue the command to open notepad as a test, and nothing at all
happens. Next, I tried clicking "start speech recognition" in control
panel\speech recognition, and then issued the same command to open
notepad, again, to no avail. Upon looking in the task manager, the
process for speech recognition is running, as shown below:

Robert,
All of those steps were completed. The problem isn't that speech
recog doesn't understand me when it works, the problem is that it
seems to not be running even when the speech recog process is running
in task manager. It's as if it doesn't start even when it shows that
it's running. And voice activation (which I have checked) doesn't do
anything.

Hi, Jody. Yes, I believe FSX Steam Edition works with Windows

IYP also works with same. As for your microphone problems,
can't

there. My IYP gets stuck on "confirm oil pressure" on the

Posted that one a recently. Good luck straightening out your
difficulties.--Matt.

First the question...does FSX Steam Edition, and does IYP work
with
Windows 10? Secondly, I am having a problem with speech
recognition
wherein when I go to control panel and choose "start speech
recognition", nothing happens, even though the speech
recognition
process is in task manager, and is enabled at startup. My
settings are correct. Tried ending task in task manager,
and
restarting speech recognition. Process started again, and
again,
nothing happens. The sound alerts that denote the starting
Blind and Visually impaired Pilots mailinglistthestopping of speech recognition are also gone. Voice
activation/deactivation commands (to whit, start
listening/stop
listening) have no effect. Help, please.
Second issue: Changed voice font in IYP to female.
However,
IYP
still refers to itself as Mike. Not sure why this occurs,
unless
I
have to change Mike to Michelle, though I thought that this
was
handled within IYP automatically..
