I was attempting to teach WSR my pronounciation of the word "the".

 

By doing so I deleted it from the WSR dictionary.

 

Every attempt I make at attempting to retrain it the word "the" it does not.

 

I think I need to re-install...is there a way to reinstall WSR without reinstalling the whole Operating System?

WSR is tightly integrated to the Vista and Windows 7 Operating System. There is no way short of reinstalling the operating system for reinstalling WSR.

 

However, are you aware of the Speech Dictionary. This allows you to Add a new word, Prevent a word from being dictated and Edit (Change existing words). I would try adding the word, "the" to the Speech Dictionary before reinstalling operating system.

 

To open the speech dictionary:

1. Just say, "Open speech dictionary."

2. Right click the microphone icon on the Speech Bar. Click Open the Speech Dictionary.

 

Another option would be to use the http://www.mymsspeech.com/microphones/prod_details.asp?prodID=228 - WSRToolkit and add the word "the" as a text macro. In addition there are some other very useful features.
