Can't get Voice Recognition working, please help.

Great application this. I'm loving it with rFactor 2.
However I can't seem to get Voice Activation to work despite going through the necessary steps. I've installed
SpeechPlatformRuntime.msi and then MSSpeech_SR_en-GB_TELE.msi (I used the GB variety as I am in Australia) as per the instructions. I've also tested that my default microphone is working properly so that isn't an issue.

When I try and activate Voice Recognition in CC v4.6.4.2 I get this error message:
14:14:08.696 : Attempting to initialise speech recognition for user specified location en
14:14:08.703 : Success
14:14:08.708 : Unable to configure speech engine grammar
14:14:08.709 : Exception message: The language for the grammar does not match the language of the speech recognizer.
14:14:08.711 : Attempted to initialise speech engine - success = False

Loving this app, just wish I could get this feature working. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There's a setting in the properties screen for 'speech recognition locale' or something. It defaults to 'en'. Try setting it to 'en-GB' (but en really should work - it just means 'use whatever en language is available). Perhaps your windows install expects en-AU?

Thanks so much. Changing that to en-GB worked perfectly. I had already changed my setting to GB in Windows but I suspect that if I still had it at my default, then en-AU would have worked too.
Really appreciate your help. I'll donate to your cause to keep this app's development going. Cheers!

Hi
Its been a while but Ive come back to Raceroom and trying CChief again wow the apps been updated, but the propertise windows still a mess.

16:54:04.165 : Unable to initialise speech engine with voice recognition pack for location en. Check that SpeechPlatformRuntime.msi and MSSpeech_SR_en_TELE.msi are installed.
16:54:04.165 : Exception message: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {49428A60-C997-4D0E-9808-9E326C178D58} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)).

Now this is in windows 10 I need where to dig those Speach plaform files out of, an how to turn on shared memory Raceroom. pls

There are some instructions on the 'help' screen (click the button). You need to install the Microsoft speech recognition runtime and English language pack - the help screen should have URLs for these

not sure what the fault is mate, but as a clue 18:48:16.907 : Unable to set default audio device might be the thing.

The app will use the default audio output device, which is set in the windows sound control panel. Normally windows will automatically select one to be default but perhaps you need to do this manually

so do you get regular messages, like 'green green green', and the 'radio check' at the start? You also need to set a default sound input (recording) device for speech recognition to work

Just done a breif session I did not finish the race Igot,
allsorted message when I first left the pit BOX
I got Green green green
And that was all dispite being told to spot......... .

HIH Ive tried reinstalling CC but cant redownload the three green packages at the top says there all ready downloaded.
thought you had a lot of driver names but only see about 10 in the list or less..

no radio check
