First of all thanks to minsc' for the effort he's put into this. The problem I'm having is that shspeech is recognising my commands, but they're not getting through to the submarine. I'm using windows 8 on a laptop. the voice-recognition seems to be part of the operating system. I've set it up, using the built in mic, and it works fine. I did try to download speechsdk, but I suspect the file was corrupt - when I try to run it I just get an error message that says it's not a win32 application - is it essential, given that voice recognition works without it?

I have no idea if this is as good an addition as everyone says it is, but now I've read people praising it to the skies I want it!!!
