You can use Dragon Naturally Speaking with Microsoft Access databases and I was wondering if you can do the same with Visual Basic .Net. I think Access has this as a feature, that it interacts with Dragon somehow, not just accepting input. Correct me if I am wrong. I'd like to know if Visual Basic .Net supports this too. I have been searching on the net and haven't found anything.
I'm confused, what exactly are you trying to do? The whole Access thing is kind of throwing me off.Quote:

The documentation states that it supports VB 6, 7 and 8. 8 being VS 2005. But, that documentation might be outdated. I imagine if it supports an old version of .NET, it can support the newest.
But, I can't imagine it will be an easy or trivial thing.
Visual Basic 7.1 and 8?

Because technically they're the same thing.Quote:

Then...why did I find this?
EDIT: Also, the one you linked to says Version 7; the one I have says version 9.
Apparently yes.Quote:

Also, I forgot to mention that you're correct. VB6 and VB.NET are not the same thing. But that's not what you or formless were talking about. You asked why they said VB 7.1 and VB 8 instead of VB.NET. Formless was right, because VB 7.1 = VB.NET 2003 and VB 8 = VB.NET 2005.Quote:

First time I've ever heard it referred to that way.
Yeah. I also never had a blueberry pie before the first time I had one ;)Quote:

You might want to look more on their site, or contact them directly about it.
as I understand there are 3 main algorithms for speech reco all time based :
1 fonetic : the program checks every 40 miliseconds or less was there quite or noise and then uses probability to convert thet data to word and sentenses (much based on training the program)
2 sentence based (requires much more training) instead of considering fonetics the program considers how many quite volume level per say 3 seconds and uses probability for converting that to words.
3 a combo of the above 1 2
so if you were to get a volume meter that gets the volume level every less than 40 miliseconds then ...
the problem with win 7 speech reco (sapi) is correcting it, I was unable to access certain letters.
