      Does anyone have experience with vista speech recognition?

      I've been playing around with the speech recognition system in Windows Vista, it's working out fairly well for me. However, I'm having problems getting it to work with chat clients like "trillian" and "pigeon". For some odd reason the speech recognition system fails to recognize the text box as a text box. Whenever I say "press H" and "press I" the letters show up within the box, but if I continue to dictate like I normally would, for instance, in a text document, I get one of two messages:

      "what was that"
      Or
      "that command is not available now"

      (the latter happens when I try to select text that I already typed with the keyboard or use a function like "correct that")

      It's almost like vista thinks that I'm trying to type in a place where text is not supposed to be.

      I can't find a way to configure this anywhere within the control panel, and I'd suspect that the problem is on vista's side because the problem exists for both pigeon and trillian.

      Does anyone have any ideas?

      Ah, built in speech recognition: It's useless.

      No one that I know uses the built in speech recognition for Vista or Mac, if they use speech recognition (like I do) it's third party software. I have MacSpeech. For Windows, IBM makes a program called ViaVoice, try that. I've never used it, but they say that it's as good as MacSpeech, and I've dictated ten page papers with very few corrections.
