Title: How to setup VOX in Vista
Post by: TilDeath on May 18, 2009, 06:13:57 PM
There seems to be some problems with the VOX setup in Vista.  Here is a guide to assist those with Vista and VOX seeming to be soft or not working.

Step 1: Go to "START" --> "CONTROL PANEL --> "SPEECH RECOGNITION OPTIONS"

This should allow you to be heard clearly on VOX.  I do not like the Channel Beeps so they are disabled for me.  This is a matter of preference.

Hope this helps.
