This is a question for those of you who know the recognition engine very well. My situation is a little different, sits I'm blind, and only one of the three...
I would like to know the approximate size of a standard speech recognition profile. I tried to back my profile of using the transfer wizard, to an external...

Hello Dean, I just looked at the "migration store" file which is created when you use the Windows Transfer Wizard and mine is about fifty megabytes in size....
Well... shoot. In the old days, we just made a copy of the directory that holds all the user files - and just copied the directory back if we needed to. CD...
Richards, ViaVoice had a very useful backup tool; I could restore a profile instantly. I am therefore a bit puzzled by the complicated way you take for...
Good Morning Itamar -- (it is morning here, anyway...) 1) ViaVoice had a back up routine, yes... but if you noticed it was small enough to fit on a floppy...
Richards, It's 'good afternoon' here (18:23); happy to hear from you. [1] I am a bit surprised at your description of VV. I distinctly remember how easy it...

We hear you loud and clear. WSR users need a way to backup and restore their user profiles. I'm more hopeful now than before that we'll have something out...

Brad, We indeed still plan to provide a KnowBrainer product for the Vista Speech Engine separate from NaturallySpeaking. Unfortunately, the project has taken...
Oh My... Itamar... you do really mean it ? "Hardly ever failed" Now, that is a standard I cannot accept. What would I tell the Client? "Well... er... um... I...
File compression has been around for so long that, regardless of what format you use, the probability of failure is statistically insignificant. The most...
OK -- but if you agree with Itamar, he claims if "hardly ever fails" which is a different standard from "never fails" ;-) Please Notice - I have never been...
I didn't say it never failed. That would be like saying that it's possible to get 100% accuracy with speech recognition (regardless of version) 100% of the...

I often feel the stuff I say/write could withstand dramatic compression. Indeed, a severely "lossy" algorithm betwixt my lips and the screen might be a good...
Itamar, Thanks for the heads up, you are, of course, correct. That was a speak-o (i.e., the way it came up) and I didn't bother to proof it, nor did I see it. ...
Bruce, It's not whether or not compression hardly ever fails, it's why. That's almost always OS and hardware related. Not anything due to compression itself. ...
Apparently no one realizes I was just making fun of what Itamar said. I never intended to spark a debate about reliability of compression routines. Now, I'm...
Thank you, Chuck, for that personal note of assurance re: compression's reliability. I wonder, though, what prompted you to post it -- especially since your...
Richards, Oh, I think most of us caught the note of whimsy :-) I agree the drift of discussion has gone haywire, though, since compression has become...
