Using Speech Recognition and Text2Speech controls in VB apps????

PLEASE!!! I need help on how to get the code for the Speech Recognition (DirectSR) and Text to Speech (DirectSS) controls to work... I downloaded the SDK 5.0 already and installed it. i've done the normal "Phrase thing" but it never picks up my word. and i use this: DirectSS1.Speak ("Hello.") and that doesn't work either... I have all the references and components added and it works when i test i under the thing in the control pannel. HELP ME!!!:confused: :confused: :confused:

Try this:

Code:

---

Private Sub DirectSR1_PhraseFinish(ByVal flags As Long, ByVal beginhi As Long, ByVal beginlo As Long, ByVal endhi As Long, ByVal endlo As Long, ByVal Phrase As String, ByVal parsed As String, ByVal results As Long)

If Phrase = "hello" Then
    Phrase = ""
    DirectSS1.Speak "Hi to you too."
End If

If Phrase = "bye" Then
    Phrase = ""
    DirectSS1.Speak "goodbye."
End If

Text1.Text = Phrase

End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()

' The following are words that the Engine will reconize
DirectSR1.GrammarFromString "[Grammar]" + vbNewLine + _
        "type=cfg" + vbNewLine + _
        "[<start>]" + vbNewLine + _
        "<start>=hello" + vbNewLine + _
        "<start>=bye" + vbNewLine
DirectSR1.Activate

End Sub

---

Speak the words "Hello" and "Bye," and the computer should reply.

Also, make sure that you train your engine every so often to that the DirectSR control (or engine) can recognize your voice more easily.

use Directss1.sayit = "Hello"

while im at it anyone ever worked with flightsim 2000?
