I am a disabled quadriplegic, who is a very satisfied user of Speech Recognition on Windows Vista. However my only concern is whenever my laptop is unplugged from the electrical outlet, Speech Recognition automatically changes from "sleeping" to "off" and there's no way for me to turn it back on physically or by voice. Because of this I always have my laptop plugged in to the electrical outlet whenever I use it. Is there any way to prevent Speech Recognition from turning off when it is not plugged in? Fernando |

I had never heard of this or just did not notice it. However, I started up my Toshiba notebook and confirmed that when you say stop listening, with the notebook not charging, it does not go to sleep but goes to the off mode.
I'm going to send this message to someone in the Microsoft speech workgroup to see if they know anything about this. Marty Markoe, eMicrophones, Inc. ------------- Marty Markoe, MVP Microsoft Valued Partner See us at: http://www.mymsspeech.com |

Welcome Fernando, it is good to hear from you. You are the 1st one to bring this issue to light and as such, a little research is necessary. I have been fighting off a horrible cold over the past few days and my voice dictation system wouldn't recognize my voice. Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner. ------------- Take care, Jerry |

Thank you both very much. I do use a USB microphone from Plantronics. I did as you told me in power options and unfortunately it did not work. Afterwards I spent all day on the phone with technical support from Microsoft and then HP; they weren't able to solve the problem. The HP technical support agent is going to call me back tomorrow because he wants to try a complete system restore to see if that works. Prior to that he wants me to back up all my files on my computer so I don't lose anything. Something tells me that's not going to work but I am willing to try anything now. I'm starting to believe this is only a problem on HP notebooks. Fernando

Fernando,
I mentioned I had the problem on my Toshiba notebook. Also, the microphone is not USB. I think restoring the system to its original state is not going to help.

Hello Marty, That's right you did mention that. I agree, that restoring it to its original condition is not going to work, but the HP technician wants to try. When he calls me today, I will just tell him no. Hopefully you guys can come up with an answer, I'll be here waiting. Thank you so much. Fernando |

Hi You did not mention which version of Windows you are using. I was reading both of the responses and I know for my laptop Dell XPS 1530, you can go into the Control Panel, Mobile PC, Change battery settings, Power Saver, In the Battery column, select put computer to sleep, scroll down to the bottom of the list and select Never. See if this helps you. |

I beleive your suggestion is worth trying. Perhaps the HP computer Fernando is using automatically puts the computer in Sleep mode when battery charging is disconnected.
Thanks,

Hi, The Windows version I use is Vista Home Premium. I followed your instructions and changed the battery settings to POWER SAVER and selected computer to sleep NEVER; however this did not correct the problem. I still thank you for your suggestions and welcome any more. Fernando |

| I am really sorry to hear that my suggestion did not work. Those are the steps that I took to keep my speech recognition and other devices that I use turned on. Have you contacted the manufacturer of you computer and discussed your concerns? Perhaps they can provide a solution for you. I wonder if maybe your battery may need to be replaced because I do know that some laptops will hibernate if the battery is low. If your battery is not holding a charge this could cause the program in question to stop working because there is not enough power to support it and the other processes that are running on your computer. I too am using Vista Home Premium on my laptop as well. Are there other devices that you have connected to your laptop that are experiencing problems as well? |

Hi all, Two days ago a got a brand new Acer laptop, I get on very well with the speech recognition apart from the fact that when running it on batteries if I tell it to stop listening, instead of it sleeping and allowing me to wake it up, instead it just turns off. My laptop is brand new so the batteries are fine, it is Acer running windows Vista Home Premium. I have tried all the battery plan idea but none of them worked, just thought I would let you all know and any help would be greatly appreciated. O and the microphone I am useing is built into the laptop.

Has anyone found a way to prevent this? It seems to me there must be some kind of registry modification that would prevent it. It is very frustrating to say the least. |

I would guess it has something to do with power management. I keep my notebook computers from going to sleep and have them run at full speed.
