Operating Microsoft sapi51

[Gad Halevy]

Hi all;
I have windowsXp.
I tried to operate sapi51 with dragonfly-main.py but it crashed.
All I need is to distinguish between yes and no answers.
Does anybody know how to do it?

Any help would be highly appreciated;
Best regards;
Gadh.

Hi Gad,

Could you please give more information about your problem? Did
dragonfly-main.py give any output when it crashed? (If you ran it by
double-clicking and the DOS box disappeared quickly, then you should
try running it from a command shell (run cmd.exe from start->run...)
to see its output)

Charlie.

Hi Charlie;
This is how the command prompt looks like after an attempt to operate dragonfly-main.py

I tried to operate it from c:\program files\NatLink but I had the same results.

Many thanks;

Hi Gadh,

Snipped from your console output:

These are the infamous COM errors which give practically no useful
information about what's going on or what might have caused the error.
This is not a Dragonfly problem, it is a limitation of the COM API
offered by SAPI: something went wrong, no additional information
available. :-(

Because of that limitation, I'm afraid the only way for anyone to debug
your problem is to have a live system similar to your own (Windows XP,
SAPI 5.1, etc.) available. I don't have one lying around, so I'll have
to set one up to help you out. It'll take some time though.

In the meantime, do you have a Windows Vista system available to you?
The speech recognition that comes with Vista is quite a bit more
advanced and better integrated. That might let you get a head start
until somebody (me?) can take a look at what's causing your problems.

Regards,
Charlie.

Hi Charlie,
Many thanks.
I don't have Vista, but I have a dual boot Ubuntu linux, and a windows 7 installation disk.
Right now I'm doing something else, I'll go back to it as soon as I'll finish my other stuff.

Thanks again;
Gadh.

Charlie.

Gadh, if you have a chance, give this a try on Windows 7. That OS
also contains WSR and should work a lot better than Windows XP.
Please let us know how that works out.
