Is SH3speech still available as a download?

Thanks, I have successfully installed, yet I don't have the prerequisite which is microsoft speech recognition (MSR). I was in touch with microsoft online support. A very friendly lady from india took control over my computer but couldn't figure it out so far.

I think I lack speechUx.dll, or it's corrupted, but a Windows 10 Update / live installation didn't fix the problem. The menu where you should normally be able to configure MSR is completely greyed out.

Going back tomorrow

That used to be under "Windows Ease of Access", and was called "Windows Speech Recognition" under v8.1. I don't know if this will help you or not:

Most of their "help" isn't very...

Exactly...

Yes, I, and the friendly lady, spent a lot of time on this menu. It's completely greyed out, but thanks anyway.

For speech recognition to work your language version of windows needs to match the major ones supported by the speech engine.

Thank you pisces, I have tried several different (matching) language/region pairs, yet the menu that allows you to configure SR is completely greyed out.

I have Windows 10 Pro and had to change my language from dutch to Enlish before Microsoft Speech wanted to 'ungrey'. If you have a Home version then I think you can't change the interface language.

I have pro. I also had an error message saying 'Ordinal 380 could not be located in ..../speechUx.dll'. I believe my installation is still corrupted.
