Strange, I had i working perfectly. then I rebooted a couple hours later and the problem returns. So I am confused.  I redid the things I did before to fix it and yet that doesn't work at present. So I am confused..........

only one of the cepstal voices. no other plugins. It was working so well. Now one or two exchanges and it stops listening frustrating but hey thats part of the fun getting out the glitches. Head sets brand new I tried switching usb ports to see if a different port would help. doesn't. So I am at present needing to step back and think WTF!

I looked in the zabaware folder; there were both  hal v4 and  hal version 6 subfolders. i deleated the halv 4 subfolder. restarted hal and the voice rec would not work at all. So that made me think these two versions were sharing files. I uninstalled version 6 via the control panel but left the zabaware file entact and the version 6 subfolder within it. I reinstalled the hal 6. Problem solved. works fine now..............

Dragon NS, IMO is preferable to VIA Voice. VV Not being entirely bad, byt the reversal of personal pronouns that can happen is much better handles by Dragon.
Oh yea microphones,, 2 words,, HEAD PHONES. 8) :o ;D

yes one is right get a good set of headphone with the mic , and my 2 cents is the ones that have padded for both ears and not just one ear and a clip over the head . And others are right about using dragon speak naturally try to get 10 version at least if you can afford it , check around amazon.com sells used stuff sometimes cheaper and other places .  :)
