Answers to speech API questions

Answers to questions from Michael Latta:

Q: Can the WinFX Speach Recognition API be used in XP? It is complaining that that component can not be used. I am using TabletPC edition which I thought has recognition features. Does the WinFX API only support Vista?

Yes, it works on XP (including Tablet) and Vista.

I'd like to figure out what's going on. Can you mail me some more details (or post feedback here, or post to the newsgroup). Thanks.

Q: Is there a forum / newsgroup for speech?
