Bing Speech Recognition control accessiable from mainland China

I built a Windows store app test project with VS.net 2013 professional to test the Bing speech recognition control. I built the project on Windows 8.1. I followed the examples described in MSDN to the letter (basically copied the code into my VS.net
code editor). I downloaded the control, registered my project on Azure market. I tried both SpeechRecognizerUx and customised UI with SpeechRecognizer control. The project complied and ran OK. But I always got the exception message "Service unavailable".
Can developers from mainland China use the Bing speech recognition control?

Hi SmartTalk - the Bing Speech Recognition Control forum is here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bingdev/
I'd move the thread for you but it doesn't show up in my list of available forums.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined
objects and unknown namespaces.

Speech Recognition Control for commercial use

I would like to use Speech Recognition Control for commercial use. Is it possible?

Hello deadean,
We suggest that you post your question in the

Selected DPS content blocked in mainland China?

This is in relation to our question yesterday re: Is DPS content being blocked in mainland China? (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4354992#4354992)
Our app was made available in App Store recently. It was a multi-issue mag app created using DPS Pro. It works fine except when colleagues in mainland China alerted us that they can install the app but CANNOT DOWNLOAD the magazine issue. A salesperson there who initally could not open the magazine with the local 3G connection but managed when he used VPN.
In the discussion, Bob replied that while the app can be downloaded anywhere, the mainland China government restricts users from downloading eternal content such as folios at this time.
However, just learned from mainland China colleagues that they are able to download the Martha Stewart Living and Wired apps and their issues, which we believe were created using Adobe DPS.
Does anybody know if mainland China has some sort of a "wait list" before releasing an app content in its country/territory?
Is Adobe workng on systems to allow distribution into mainland China?
An immediate response is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've only become aware today that I can't publish apps in China without a GAPP licence. I've also discovered that getting a GAPP licence can be a very slow process (6-8 months). I spoke to an Adobe rep through Gold support and she said that DPS users that publish to China are usually the likes of Conde Naste etc - i.e. - big, global players. Would any of the Adobe guys here agree with that?
And from what you know, is the Chinese iTunes store a totally different climate to a western app store - i.e. - it's not just DPS apps that are affected, but all manner of other apps don;t get approved for publication in China?
Thanks

Disable contacts from speech recognition in Mac OS

Hi,
the speech recognition is a good tool for my conceptual work. I can just speak huge documents and it writes everything. However, sometimes it has it's mistakes, what is ok. But sometimes it uses names from my private contacts in the text. This is a big problem, when I miss it. Because I use the documents for business purposes. Is there a way to disable the private contacts or switch the speech recognition to a "stealth mode" or a "non-private mode"?
thank you in advance!
Jascha

Unfortunately no, not at all. I've tried these boards which were obviously fruitless on this question. I've tried the Genius Bar. And I've tried other technical resources. I do not believe it's possible at this point.
"Little stuff" like this.... it's seemingly relatively trivial in the grand scheme of things, but can be real productivity killers when I have to go back and forth between Apple's Contacts software and the actual Google Apps/Gmail web UI. It's these little things that create quirks between Google Apps and Mac OS that almost make me want to return to Exchange. It's much more expensive and other than Outlook and Calendar/Mail/Contacts, there's no virtually no interoperability options on the Mac. But at least it's consistent and I know what will work and what won't.
On the other hand, I could also solve this problem by simply putting ALL of my contacts in my Google Apps account into the "My Contacts" folder. But that kinda defeats the purpose of having a "My Contacts" folder.
Sorry Steven--I wish I had a better update or a resource to point you to, but I'm at the end of the road on this one.

Speech Recognition stops working after a minute of nonuse

I'm a grad student trying to keep from exacerbating my carpal tunnel and just figured out how to use the voice commands on my macbook. So far, they work great, they hear my voice, it does what I tell it to do, and I'm not constantly hitting apple+tab and apple+c and apple+v and so on, which really helps my wrists!
BUT. If I go for more than a minute or two without using a voice command, it stops working. I can't pinpoint anything else that triggers it other than if I stop using it for a little bit while I'm reading a paper or something. The microphone is calibrated and working, the little black arrows and the blue and green bars flash on the widget like it hears me, but then it won't give me the sound that says the command was recognized and it doesn't perform the command any time I try to use it again after a few minutes of not being used. It's like the recognition part goes to sleep and won't wake up.
If I go to the system preferences and toggle Speakable Itemst off and then on again, it starts working again until another minute or two of non-use. If I use spoken commands constantly, it will stay on for a good long while, but I'm not using it constantly that's the end of speech recognition. I really can't stop to just tell it some unneeded command to keep it awake all the time! Eventually, the computer gets confused if I turn the "speakable items" on and off too many times from the System Preferences, and it gets confused about whether or not it's turned on or off, or the widget disappears but the System Preferences panel thinks the Speakable Items is on.
I read somewhere that other people with a newer OS have a similar problem if they don't use the default speaking voice, so I switched to Alex and restarted, and the same thing is still happening.
I'm running 10.5.8, and using safari, word 2011, preview, nothing too crazy. My speech recognition is in "Listen only while key is pressed" mode, and like I said, works great until I stop using it for a minute or so. I'm using the internal microphone on my MacBook (dob circa 2008). Any tips on how I can actually keep my Speech Recognition useful? Thanks in advance!

OK, I have one more question now, seems to be the same as this question which was never answered years ago:
Speakable Commands>Application Switching -- how to delete items?
When I click on the triangle from the speech command widget and open speech commands, there is a TON of stuff there that I'll never ever use, but these things do not appear in the Library/Speech/Speakable Items folder so that I might be able to delete them. For example, one item I'd like to turn off is just the word "Home" and the computer keeps thinking that I said "Home" instead of whatever else I meant to say. Another keeps opening iChat or Mail, when I say "open new window" or something like that. I tried clicking, control clicking, option clicking, nothing will highlight a command in the Speech Commands window so that I might delete it.
The "Home" command only shows up when I'm using Word, in the "front window" list. However, the Application Speakable Items/Microsoft Word folder is empty. Is there some other way to get into the speakable commands list and weed out unwanted stuff?

Best speech recognition software for Mac?

What is the best speech recognition software available for a Mac? I want to be able to control my computer by voice while I lecture. I am aware of Dictate but hoping there is something better on the market.
Thanks,
todd

The problem is a matter of market. Good speech recognition software is expensive to develop, and it's a small market. Even smaller for Macs. MacSpeech has been providing speech recognition products for several years, now, and Dictate is their newest product having been licensed from Dragon. This is the best speech recognition software available on either platform.

Speech Recognition just won't load in WIN 8.1?

Am new to WIN 8.1 - can't get Speech Recognition to load/run... Will not run either from Control Panel, Charms (search for Speech Recognition, click Windows speech recognition or from icon in Task Bar nor from START screen.. BUT.. will run/load when
rebooted (but often won't work/recognise speech correctly (What was that appears??)) as it then automatically appears on bootup; even though it would not run/load in previous session before the reboot.. !!
Am running HP spectre i5, 4 meg 128GB... This failure is very frustrating - lots of other reports of this occurring but can't find any solutions specific to WIN 8.1.. PLEASE HELP - use dictation lot as typing is abysmal!!

Hi.. yep, have seen the video thank you.. the problem is NOT knowing how to use it.. (Have been in computers and using speech recognition, mainly Nuance DS Professional for
ages..)
The problem I have is in LOADING the application… sometimes it will load on the click of the mouse (or touch of the screen on this HP SPECTRE) – be it loaded from the task
bar icon that I set up, from the Windows Speech Recognition command vis the CHARMS or even from the START tiles.. other times it will not!! Must frustrating (will have to buy a new Nuance DNS professional as windows 8.1 is not a platform for DNS Version
10 that I have used for ages – needs !! or maybe go back to WIN&7??)
Couple of things I have noticed that may help others is that the programme may not load if one clicks the icon too quickly.. I find that hovering the mouse over the icon and
waiting until “Windows speech recognition” appears, THEN clicking the icon works at times.. after the small win Speech Recognition mode (grey) icon is closed by pressing the red “close” button then it is hard to get the programme to load again.. then one must
go to Task manager and stop the Speech Recognition programme by clicking on the end task button..
So.. it’s the initial loading and running of the programme that concerns me.. perhaps the bods at MS could look at how memory is allocated to this programme and why when
closing the Speech Recognition programme from the “grey” speech recognition mode button it is subsequently “hard” to reload it again and the programme seemingly seems to still run in Task Manager after this close button has been pressed…?? (But,
I won’t hold my breath)…
Cheers

Speech recognition server using all kinds of memory!

I'm running an imac 27" with 8gb of memory and have been doing some video work lately. Watching things with activity monitor I noticed that speech recognition server process was using 800mb + of memory. Normally I keep speech recognition started but activated by voice suppressed with the escape key.
I have already found that -using- speech commands prevents the computer display from going to sleep, like this discussion - https://discussions.apple.com/message/11395271?searchText=speech%20recognition%2 0server#11395271
I reported this as a bug to Apple, and they admitted there is a problem, and that maybe they will fix it but no guarantee.
I created a workaround for the display sleep that seems to alleviate both situations, I "wrote" an applescript to restart speakable items. It's pretty simple but you have to wait for the processes to go away, around 30 seconds or so.
Has anyone else seen or reported the excessive memory use with speech recognition?

That's wishful thinking if you think an update will be made overnight by Apple because of a complaint by an individual.
10.7.3 reportedly only updates:
Add Catalan, Croatian, Greek, Hebrew, Romanian, Slovak, Thai, and Ukrainian language support
Address issues when using smart cards to log into OS X Resolve issues authenticating with directory services Address compatibility issues with Windows file sharing
10.7.2 reportedly only updates:
iCloud stores your email, calendars, contacts, Safari bookmarks, and Safari Reading List and automatically pushes them to all your devices. Back to My Mac provides remote access to your Mac from another Mac anywhere on the Internet. Find My Mac helps find a missing Mac by locating it on a map and allows you to remotely lock the Mac or wipe all its data. Getting started with iCloud is easy. After installing the update, OS X will automatically present an iCloud setup panel. Simply enter an existing Apple ID or create a new one and then follow the on screen instructions. To learn more about iCloud visit http://www.apple.com/icloud.
The 10.7.2 update also includes Safari 5.1.1 as well as fixes that: Allow reordering of desktop spaces and full screen apps in Mission Control.
Enable dragging files between desktop spaces and full screen apps. Address an issue that causes the menu bar to not appear in full screen apps. Improve the compatibility of Google contact syncing in Address Book.
Address an issue that causes Keynote to become temporarily unresponsive.
Improve VoiceOver compatibility with Launchpad.
Address an issue that causes a delay in accessing the network after waking from sleep.
Enable booting in to Lion Recovery from a locally attached Time Machine backup drive. Resolve an issue that causes screen zoom to stop working. Improve Active Directory integration.
10.7.1:
Address an issue that may cause the system to become unresponsive when playing a video in Safari. Resolve an issue that may cause system audio to stop working when using HDMI or optical audio out. Improve the reliability of Wi-Fi connections. Resolve an issue that prevents transfer of your data, settings, and compatible applications to a new Mac running OS X Lion. Resolve an issue in which an admin user account could be missing after upgrading to OS X Lion.
These are each information from the various update pages.    While Apple has been known to include unreported updates in their version updates, the closest to something desired was the Voiceover improvement in 10.7.2. That though is of speech from putting the cursor over text to read out loud.
If they are running 10.7.3, and have not seen improvement, then my advice from my other post is good.
I would also indicate that one is running 10.7.3 in one's profile so one knows one isn't missing any updates that may not already be applied.

Speech Recognition stops paying attention.

hey all--
I was having trouble with my speech recognition (as well as a few other things) and so I finally deleted and reinstalled my system out of frustration. There are a lot of commands in the voice commands I don't want/use so I took some of them out or changed their wordings. I am also adding ones of my own.
My main trouble is that after a little bit, or 4-5 spoken commands, it stops listening to me. The green indicators indicate that it is hearing me just fine, but suddenly I can say "computer" all I want and it won't do a darn thing. If I open speech prefs, turn speakable off and back on, that'll fix it for another 4-5 commands. I am not in a noisy environment. It is very irksome!!

Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled on mountain lion?

I'm trying to use speech recognition to input text on my iMac running the latest mountain lion, 10.8.3.
I have sticky keys enabled.
When I try to start speaking by pressing the function key twice nothing happens. I can only get it to work if I disable sticky keys.
The same problem occurs with all the other modifier keys as shortcut, they do not work with sticky keys.
When I try to select a different shortcut, I am unable to select a two key combination, but am limited to one.
If I select the F6 key, or any other single key, I am able to start speech recognition. However the second time that I press the key, it does not stop recognition and process my words. Instead, it restarts the recognition.
Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled?
Or a way to get an individual key shortcut to start on the first press and process it on the second?
Or a way to get key combinations to work, as specified by the help:
Dictation On and Off
To use Dictation, click On.
When you’re ready to dictate text, place the insertion point where you want the dictated text to appear and press the Fn (function) key twice. When you see the lighted microphone icon and hear a beep, the microphone is ready for you to speak your text.
Shortcut
By default, you press the Fn (Function) key twice to start dictation. If you like, you can choose a different shortcut from the menu.
To create a shortcut that’s not in the list, choose Customize, and then press the keys you want to use. You can press two or more keys to create your shortcut.

I noticed with version 10.8.4 of OS X that I am now able to select F6 to activate, and the return key to complete the speech recognition. This is still different than the description of how these should function that's included in the help, but at least it's an improvement.

How to Switch Off Speech Recognition

I activated speech recognition just to see what it can do and got the round microphone icon in my screen. As I press Esc I can give commands.
I want to get rid of this round thing in my screen though and switch off Speech Recognition completely because I never use it.
I can not find where to switch it off. Who does?

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. This has happened to me many times. I don't know why the circle surfaces, but the common response is false - in my preferences, Speakable items is set to OFF. Turning any of the Speech settings on or off does not make the circle window disappear. The only way I can get rid of it is to reinstall the operating system from scratch (not an update), which is an incredible pain. I've done this twice to get rid of the circle, and it's back again! This is clearly a Snow Leopard bug, since all the responses say when you go into preferences you should see that Speakable items is set to ON, and it's NOT.
Seriously, if ANYONE knows how it gets in this state, and how to get rid of it when it's not responding to preferences. Force Quit doesn't see it. Maybe there's a low level Console way to kill the app - I'd do anything to get rid of that circle...
GUYS - SNOW LEOPARD USERS! I SOLVED IT! I SOLVED IT! I still don't know what triggers it, but here's how you get rid of it without a reinstall:
1) Launch Activity Monitor in flat mode
2) Look for a running task called something like SpeechRecognitionServer and select it.
3) Hit the Quit Process button on the upper left!
Voila, that annoying circle is gone!!!
YIPPIE!
- Jeff
P. S. I just noticed that this bug still wasn't solved in Lion, so hopefully my solution will help Lion users as well. This bug definitely didn't exist in Leopard.
