VB.net - Using speech recognition - Part 1 (ambcoder)

In this tutorial I am going to teach the user how to include the voice recognition feature into thier VB.net program. I am going to do this tutorial in 2 parts. To complete it you need to reference the:

Microsoft Speech Object Library (into the project)

ALso you need to download my speech library, which is free at:

Hello.

What I wanted to do with this was control an external machine (a BS2) using a bluetooth connection from it to my PC.

Can this be done with your code?

[ambcoder]

@Kijiriko I suppose it could. The speech recognition library can't handle Bluetooth Connections but you could embed BlueTooth capabilities whithin your program and activate them through a function using speech recongition. I'm currently using Speech Recognition to make a Home Automation library.

@DuckHouseProductions Thank you for your incompatability suggestion. I have listed this on my website.

[ambcoder]

@ThePowerGeek No you dont! You have fun :D If your using it commercially, I would recomend you note down the incompatabilities (which you can view on my website). :)

[ThePowerGeek]

@ambcoder I am making a program that uses this feature and I may potentially make money off of it when it is finished, I have given copyright credit to you in the about box and code, do i need to do anything else?
