          I recently downloaded SAPI5 from Microsoft.  I read that SAPI4 is what is supported.  I get an error on loading the voice engine.  Where can I get SAPI4 (and will that help me?)

          I'm not at home now, but I believe I run SAPI5.

          I also run SAPI5. Make sure you go to SETUP and then TTS and select SAPI 5.

          Thanks,  I changed that but I guess my error message dealt with the Voice Recognition.  The only thing I changed was checked Enable VR, VR Autostart, and had the Global Grammar set to a grammar I added (but I changed it back to System).

          I installed SAPI-5 a few months ago and I stopped working with VR... I simply can't get it to work with PH... I can train without PH running but when I start VR in PH there is no respons whatsoever...

          From what I've read, there are a few VR programs that will not work with SAPI5  is there anyone who knows where I can find a copy of 4 to download?

 You can download the SAPI 4 files off of the PowerHome download page. There are 3 files for a complete SAPI 4 installation...the speech API, the TTS files, and the VR files.
 
 Generally, SAPI 5 works much better than SAPI 4 for TTS but VR is only supported with SAPI 4. Both SAPI 4 and SAPI 5 can coexist though. In my own setup, I use SAPI 4 for VR and SAPI 5 for TTS.
 
 HTH,
 
 Dave.

          Thanks,  worked like a charm.  I'll start configuring it when I get some time.
