I do have a couple thing that I am having problems with, and I was wondering if anyone else if having the problem. I was reading in the forum and saw that others were having issues with hal saying syntax query every now and then. Well I disabled the vrhaptek plugin and now my hal (Nina) does not say syntax query. So I think thats related to the plugin. Ok now the problem I am having.... well here is a perfect example. I asked Nina to define predicate, and she will give me the correct definition but right in the middle of it the window closes and I hear a windows ding, as in the same noice you hear when you hit a button that cannot be used in the window of focus. This happens with long replies and definitions and it doesnt always happen it seems to be random. Also if you are using the vrhaptek plug in when you hit apply in the options menu it automatically opens the hal window and it does the same for ok. Is anyone else having these problems? I use Vista Ultimate at the moment. The only problem I think that is related to hal is the window closing thing.
Oh and Carl2 I am curious are you using Vista or XP in vista under the speech recognition My at&t voices do not show up so I can change them to the default text to speech voice or even change the voice speed, the only one that shows up in the pull down is microsoft anna. Does vista not let you change your default text to speech voice? They do however show up just fine in hal and work just fine. I just saw your comment on removing sapi 5. I dont see nearly as many options for changing things in the speech recognition control panel for visa like there was with xp.
Darcy I hope you get your problem fixed good luck!
