i sorry if this was posted in the wrong section,i'm not really sure where to ask this.i am new to vb and trying to learn at the moment.

what i'm trying to do:

i have winamp and MS AutoRoute 2007 installed , and what i would like is a way to pause winamp when autoroute speaks directions, i have the coding to pause winamp i think,

now i'm sure autoroute uses the xp speech engine, but i do not know how to detect it. i was thinking maybe a standalone speech engine program with winamp control built into it,unless there is a simpler solution.

before anyone asks i'm not after someone to make a program up unless its that easy,i'm just after to be put in the right direction

Thank you for any assistance.
