Was able to go through several screens without any problems (didn't complete it, was just testing). Then I went back to control panel, skipped the mic setup, and went straight to train your computer. Although it mentioned Cortana this time instead of WSR. Got the same "Peter talks to his computer." dialog, this time without any error pop-ups. I started going through and trying a myriad of different things while keeping very detailed notes.Īt one point many uninstall/unplug/replug/reboot cycles in, I decided to try doing the setup via settings instead of launching my WSR shortcut for it.
I just happened to be going through a clean install of Windows 10 for an entirely different issue and I retried my steps above with no success. TLDR if you just want it to work with Windows Speech Recognition (WSR), skip to the end and try the registry hack. OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! IT WORKED FOR ME!!!!! If this happens repeat the process but step your game up and move quicker. Note: The first time I did this it didn't work but it was because I was too slow on clicking the blue link, even though I still had tinto click it.
It should then load and recognize the device as a blue mic A window should appear and near the bottom it should have a blue link that asks if you want windows to stop looking for a driver in windows updateĦ. When the bubble pops up that it's installing the driver click on itĥ. When you plug it in windows assumes it needs a driver to run so it finds one but it doesn't work and you are left with an unrecognized mic. I finally figured whu the drivery wasnot working, it's because it shouldn't have one. I had the same problem, and checked everywhere online and all the solutions were way to trivial to be a solution like unpluging it, or flipping the input plug.
